UGA makes early offer to Newnan safety | College recruiting | ajc.com

Newan safety Alec Ogletree, who is one of the state’s top rising juniors, hasn’t ruled out making a college decision this year.

Georgia offered the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Ogletree during the weekend. He also has an early offer from Clemson, and his high school coach expects a dozen more by the start of the football season.

“I’m going to try to wait until my senior year to [commit], but I don’t know,” Ogletree said. “If I really like the school, the coaching staff and feel like it’s a place I have a chance at playing as soon as I get there, I might make up my mind sooner.”

Could that place be Georgia? “I don’t know, but I loved everything about my trip to Athens,” he said.

Ogletree got red-carpet treatment during Georgia’s “Dawg Night” prospect camp last Friday. Shortly after arriving, he was pulled aside for a one-on-one meeting with Georgia coach Mark Richt, who was impressed with Ogletree’s sophomore performances.

Because of Ogletree’s towering frame (6-foot-3, 215 pounds), some schools are scouting him at linebacker, but he prefers to stay at safety in college. During the Georgia camp, he ran through the drills at safety and finished with two interceptions and one more conversation with Richt.

“Coach Richt said he didn’t realize I could move that well at safety until seeing me in person,” Ogletree said. “He said, ‘I’d like to offer you a scholarship. We want you to be part of our team.’”

Ogletree said he was still in awe how everything seemed to happen so quickly at Georgia.

“The offer really surprised me; it caught me off guard. I wasn’t even expecting [Richt] to talk to me. I’m both shocked and really excited about it all.”

FVSports - The Elite100: Class of 2010

17. Alec Ogletree
6'3" / 210 pounds / Safety / Newnan High School / Newnan, Georgia
Contenders: Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, LSU
Scouting Report: Physically imposing athlete, the question is, is he done growing? Probably, and considering Ogletree has really good instincts for his age, it may allow him to stay at safety despite his size. If so, value goes even higher. Definition of a big hitter, but also has plus ball skills. Will be able to turn and run with most wideouts, and has the height to match up with tight ends. Sees the field well and makes quick decisions. Also excels on special teams, has blocked several kicks this year alone. Needs to pick and choose when to go for the kill shot, as it leads to missed tackles. Will have a short learning curve at the next level, should play immediately and become a feared player.
