Cedar Grove Key Prospects
Antwuan Jackson
Georgia are all still jockeying to land the Rivals100 defensive tackle.
LB Elysee Mbem-Bosse -- Auburn appears to be the favorite to land Mbem-Bosse, with Ohio State and
N.C. State still in the mix.
OG Netori Johnson (2017) -- The Rivals100 offensive lineman is committed to
DB Tre Shaw (2017) -- The Rivals250 defensive back has a
top five of Ole Miss, Florida, Georgia, Auburn and North Carolina.

USF, but is poised for a breakout junior season.

Hallandale Key Prospects
Demari Simpkins
QB Tyler Huntley -- Huntley is committed to Utah.
WR Josh Hammond -- Hammond is committed to Florida and has strong family ties to the Gators' program. He is likely to sign with UF in February.
DB Deion Jackson -- Jackson is committed to Miami but may open his recruitment should the Hurricanes' season go south.
WR Demari Simpkins -- Simpkins committed to Utah
over the weekend.
WR Neru N'Shaka -- A Virginia commit, N'Shaka still intends to keep his options open as the season progresses.
WR Chris Cotto -- Cotto has a handful of offers from programs of varying relevance. Still, he has the talent to attract additional suitors as a senior.
Looking Ahead
Josh Hammonds
Anytime Florida and Georgia get together it's bound to be fun and this game
should be no exception. With several players already committed to schools in the
ACC and SEC -- or likely headed there in the future -- this likely won't be the
first time many of these prospects cross paths. Miami already has a pair of
commits in Moss and Jackson and the Hurricanes are still hoping to get Jackson
on campus for an official visit. Hammond is committed to Florida and if he does
indeed sign with the Gators, he could end up having Shaw as a future teammate in
Gainesville.
Quotables
Netori Johnson
Cedar Grove coach Jermaine Smith
"The biggest thing is that they're an athletic team with really fast times and
it's going to be a good challenge for us. It's a great challenge for us and a
good measuring stick for us. I've had a couple of opportunities to look at them
in 7-on-7, they have great receivers, they have a good quarterback, they're
really fast so it's going to be challenge for us."
