The Last 11 of the Post-Spring Score44

This is the final 11 of the Post-spring practice Score 44. We have revealed the list 11 at a time over the last few weeks of The Official Visit on Sports Radio 790 The Zone. Once again, the Score 44 is a fluid list of the top seniors in the state (on the gridiron in this case) and you can play your way into or off of the list. I came up with the names and my co-host Scott Janovitz breaks down the players....

Justin Taylor: 5-11, 200-pounder out of Booker T. Washington High. Committed to Alabama. Has been impressive in recent camps. Doesn’t have great speed or explosion, but is a powerful back that breaks tackles at an incredible rate. Fits well into Bama’s pro-style offense. Runs low to the ground for someone close to 6-0, has good pad level, and is a straight line runner. Isn’t going to make you miss in the open field, but gets the tough yards consistently. A bear to bring down;

Kurt Freitag: 6-3, 245-pound TE out of Buford. Has offers Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, FSU, Georgia Tech, Miami, UNC, South Carolina and Kentucky. Great hands and run after skills. Light and needs to gain weight. Better pass threat than blocker. Can he block on college level? Great downfield threat, but is he big or strong enough? Love his athleticism and ability to make tough catches, though;

Adam Griffiths: The state’s best kicker. Accurate, consistent, has a monster leg and is clutch. Can win you a game;

Kenderius Whitehead: 6-5, 210-pounder out of Monroe Area. Another physical freak at 6-5. Tremendous mobility, quickness and body control. Has offers from Georgia, Arkansas, Clemson, GTech, Miss. State, South Carolina, Tennessee, VTech, Notre Dame, Nebraska and more. This kid is a nightmare for QB’s and RBs alike. Very physical, but also relentless in pursuit. Maybe the best in the state at fighting off blocks;

James DeLoach: 6-3, 260-pounder out of Jenkins County. Committed to Georgia. Plays the game with violent aggression. Very good at TE due to physical blocking and elite speed. He is incredibly quick off the line, and makes collision with blockers a violent proposition. I love this kid’s attitude, physical tools and work ethic;

Davion Tookes: 5-10, 168-pounder out of Creekside. Committed to Virginia Tech. Great speed and quickness, dynamic athlete, and has a penchant for big plays. Needs to add A LOT of weight. His ability to turn and run is impressive, is also a valuable special teams player. Needs to improve his ability to read run, come up and limit yards with the hit;

Pat Gamble: 6-4, 315-pounder out of Jenkins County. Committed to Georgia Tech. He and teammate James Deloach are a package deal. Has tremendous size, strength, quickness combination. Tremendous quickness off the line makes him a legitimate pass rusher. Good agility, fights off blocks well. I think he is the best in the nation. Dominant against the run as well. Covers a ton of space, sideline to sideline;

Larry Jefferson: 6-5, 218-pounder out of Banneker. Committed to Louisville. Another exceptional athlete at 6-5, but needs to gain a ton of weight at just 208 pounds. Richt compares him to Demarcus Ware. Could play linebacker as well. Great agility and footwork. Doesn’t fight off blocks well and may be better at LB;

Ty Smith: 6-3, 228-pound TE out of Colquitt County. Committed to Georgia. Rush Propst loves this kid. We will see what he is really made of this year. Decent size, and good speed for a tight end. More of an Orson Charles type. Good hands, solid possession guy. Great safety blanket for QB;

Brandon Greene: 6-6, 280-pound OT out of Cedar Grove. Has offers from Louisville, Mississippi, and UCF, but is committed to Alabama. Quick off the ball, very good athlete. Needs to add size for sure, but is a dynamic athlete. Love his potential, just has to get bigger and stronger. Incredible quickness pulling in the run game and pass protecting. Might actually be better than Xzavier Ward;

Chase Roberts: 6-3, 285-pound OG out of GAC. Has no offers outside of Tech, but is committed to Georgia Tech. Another good looking athlete who plays with low center of gravity and with great balance. Fits perfectly in Tech’s scheme, especially as a pulling guard. Needs to gain a little weight, but has the frame to do so. Plays a physical game too. Really like him for Tech.

NOTE: Deion Bonner is not on the list due to ineligibility....
