Blue chip wide receivers, top-rated defensive lineman expected in Sanford Stadium for Georgia-Tennessee
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Heading into this weekend’s Top 5 SEC East championship, the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs have the second-best 2023 recruiting class, behind Alabama. 22 high school seniors have committed to UGA, but there are still plenty of uncommitted prospects that Kirby Smart and the coaching staff would love to sign with the Bulldogs in December.
Several of those prospects will be in attendance this weekend as Georgia hosts Tennessee for one of the biggest games of the season.
Here’s a running list of recruits that have either announced they’ll be in Athens this weekend or it’s been reported that they’ll be at the game. This list will be updated throughout the week leading up to kickoff.

Official Visits
DL Daevin Hobbs, 2023, uncommitted, Concord, North Carolina
The four-star lineman is set to commit on Nov. 25, so this will be good timing to showcase Georgia’s stout defensive line in person. This will be Hobbs’ third official visit, as he took trips to finalists Alabama and Tennessee earlier this season. UGA DL coach Tray Scott has had success in getting North Carolina defenders, most recently in four-star DL Jamaal Jarrett this summer. UNC and Auburn are also in Hobbs’ Top 5.

WR DeAndre Moore Jr., 2023, Louisville commit, Bellflower, California
Moore committed to the Cardinals in May after decommitting from Oklahoma in January. He’s fast and is 6-feet-tall, which makes him more agile than other WR prospects in this class. Playing on one of the top high school teams in the country at St. John Bosco, Moore has played against some of the best talent. He is set to take an official visit to Texas in mid-November and On3 has USC the favorite to land Moore.
ATH Samuel M’Pemba, 2023, uncommitted, St. Louis, Missouri
The incredibly talented Missourian has played at IMG Academy since his junior season and has lined up at tight end, linebacker and defensive end. M’Pemba, the No. 29 prospect in his class, was in Athens for the spring game and the Samford game in September. He took an official visit to Tennessee in mid-October to see the Volunteers upset Alabama. Per 247Sports, M’Pemba is also expected to take official visits at LSU and Miami in November before committing.
