Last week was a huge week for Justin Eboigbe.

The 6-foot-5, 261 pound junior defensive end out of Forest Park (Ga.) entered the week with offers from FAU, Kentucky, Louisville, Mississippi State and Wake Forest.

Impressive, right?

This is even more impressive.

On Tuesday last week is when it started. South Carolina offered. On Saturday night, Florida capped off a huge week for Eboigbe with an offer. Auburn, Cincinnati, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Tennessee offered in between the Gamecocks and the Gators.

"It feels great to be getting these offers," said Eboigbe. "I am getting recognized and the attention that I have worked so hard for. I have always put work in, so it feels great with it being recognized right now.

"I would be lying if I said I expected this. I have worked for this, but to have six SEC offers, it is very surprising to me. It is just a great feeling."

The emerging star in the 2019 class has not taken a lot of college visits yet, but he and his family did spend time in Athens Saturday. Kirby Smart was at Eboigbe's school earlier in the week, but held off to deliver the offer in person.

That meant something.

"I now have an offer from the runner-up to the National Championship, so that is big. I was pulled aside and taken to coach Smart's office and he talked to me and that is when he offered me.

"He talked about they talked to a lot of people about me and everyone spoke highly of me. He talked about how they just don't offer anyone and to get the offer personally from him meant something.

"Coach Smart talked about life, he talked about my family, he talked about how he sees me fitting into their system and he made a big impression on me. It was a great time with him and Georgia was a great visit."

One of Georgia's biggest rivals is Auburn and these two have played each other for over 100 years. Could they end up battling for one of the best in Georgia's 2019 class? The Tigers were Eboigbe's favorite school growing up.

"I have family just outside of Opelika (Ala.) and that is very close to Auburn, so I grew up liking them a lot," said Eboigbe. "I have some family that are Auburn fans and right around the time I started liking football, Cam Newton was a star there and I started to watch them a lot.

"So getting an offer from them was a great feeling and they want me to visit soon. I have been watching their defensive linemen go to the NFL and be successful. Guys like Carl Lawson and Montravius Adams have done well and that is something I like about them."

Eboigbe does not know a lot about most of the other schools that have offered him yet. He wears No. 7 because of Jadeveon Clowney, so that is something for the Gamecocks fans to keep in mind.

When asked about Tennessee, Eboigbe brought up Reggie White, and he said the former Vol is the greatest defensive end ever.

Others will definitely get their shot to impress Eboigbe on campus in the coming weeks, but the in-state school has set the bar high.

"Georgia is my top school to some degree now," said Eboigbe. "I like them a lot and my time with the coaches there really was great. I was able to see the campus, learn about the academics, get the tour of the facilities and Georgia is high on my list, but I still want to see the other schools."
