I am on the road constantly.
For more than a dozen years I have been in this business, I found it very important to get out on the road and identify talent. Whether it is stopping by schools during the week or attending camps and 7-on-7 events over the weekend, seeing prospects in person is key for me.
I have been out on the road in Georgia seeing players a lot since National Signing Day. Of course, many of the prospects I have seen are big names that have already committed or hold Power Five offers.
But those aren't the only prospects I see or visit. Many are prospects that have yet to pick up an offer.
Here are five 2019 prospects in Georgia that I have visited or watched work out recently that have yet to pick up their first offer that will likely see that change in the coming months.

Dylan Leonard is a big body at Milton and he has a lot of talent around him, including quarterback Jordan Yates. He has strong hands, he is very strong in the classroom and with his frame, he could grow into a hybrid/flex tight end on the next level. At this time he is hearing most from James Madison, Louisiana Monroe and Louisiana Tech.
Paxton Nayman is not the only one at Creekview who will see his recruitment pick up in the coming months, but it is very surprising that he has yet to pick up his first offer. I saw him at the Atlanta MVP Camp over the weekend and he checks a lot of boxes. Nayman is visiting Vanderbilt this weekend, so keep an eye on that visit. Clemson, NC State and Pittsburgh, along with others, are showing interest.
Nick Pendley is teammates with Nayman at Creekview, and again, more names from that school could be on this list. He has already attended Junior Days at Auburn, Florida State, Furman and Tennessee Tech with others scheduled. He is a physical offensive lineman who is already a three-star on Rivals.com.
Look for Tyrek Presley to receive stars in the near future. He was a star at the Atlanta MVP Camp over the weekend. Presley is an athlete with length, ball skills and great body control out of Charles Drew. Georgia Southern, Georgia State and Troy along with some others have shown interest. Numerous schools have reached out to him since his camp performance Sunday.
Micah White is a wide receiver with a great frame. He is big kid who is lean, but he has long arms and the ability to adjust to the football. He plays with a good quarterback in Zach Gibson and he could be that go-to receiver this fall. Numerous Ivy League schools along with North Carolina and UCF are showing the most interest in White at this time.
