ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Ole Miss and West Virginia offered a few days ago. Schools like Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, South Carolina and Tennessee offered last week.

Tommy Tremble is one of the hottest prospects in the state of Georgia. The 6-foot-4, 225 pound tight end out of Alpharetta (Ga.) Johns Creek is closing in on 20 scholarship offers and he has exploded onto the scene this spring.

Another offer he added last weekend came from Georgia. That offer stood out for different reasons and he had tears in his eyes. It is a moment he will always remember.

"When I got that Georgia offer, both me and my dad were about to cry," said Tremble. "My dad (Greg Tremble) played at Georgia, so I have been going there since I was little. We had talked about this before, so it really happening meant a lot to the both of us.

"When Kirby Smart brought me into his office after the scrimmage last Saturday, we just talked for a little bit first. Then, when he got to the offer, I had to really hold back tears. My dad has been telling me since I was little that if I worked hard enough that I would be able to play in the stadium he played in. So, when that offer came, I got pretty emotional.

"It was a pretty big time for me and my dad."

As expected, Tremble has red and black all over the house. He has been inside Sanford Stadium more times than he can count. He has had love for the Dawgs since he can remember and he has family ties to the school in Athens (Ga.), but there is more to his interest in Georgia than those things.

"I really love the coaches that are at Georgia now. When I was up there, coach [Shane] Beamer (tight ends) really impressed me. I like how he coached and how he was teaching his players. He explained things well and I like him and coach Smart is a great coach.

"The coaches are what I love the most right now about Georgia. They do a good job of coaching and they are just good people too."

With the offer in, Georgia has taken over the No. 1 spot on Tremble's list. It is not because of the childhood love for the program, but because of how he has connected with the coaches.

A school Georgia plays each year will have their chance to impress the rising star in the Peach State this weekend, and that is Tennessee.

"This will be my first time Tennessee and I want to learn more about their education, how the player-coach relationship is and just see how I could fit into their program," said Tremble.

"I know Tennessee has had a good team the last few years, they have had some good players and I am excited about getting up there."

Duke and North Carolina could be next to host Tremble for visits. He is about to get busy with spring practice, so the visits may slow down a bit, but trips to Durham (N.C.) and Chapel Hill (N.C.) are being discussed.

Close to 20 schools have offered now and he will continue to add more in the coming weeks, but by the time his senior year rolls around, Tremble's name is likely to be on someone's commitment list.

"In the perfect world, I will be committed by late summer," said Tremble. "I would like to commit in August or very early in the season.

"A lot will factor into my decision. I want to see how I feel about these schools over time. It will not be about just one visit, then commit. I am going to think on things, see how I feel about the different schools over an amount of time, then when I feel I am ready, I will commit.

"I really feel like I will be ready late in the summer. I should know enough by then to get it done."
