#16 - 4* DB - Kaleb Edwards - Dacula

Moved up to a composite 4* because ESPN moved him up to #59 overall in the country (significantly higher than 247/rivals). TFWIW.

I love his film. Not sure what a 4-star safety looks like, but he looks really good to me.

Called that one. You can tell that this kid is a player!

I'll take it. That's pretty high but I think he probably ends up a 5.8 on rivals, too. They have him at # 37 in the state and that's 4 star territory most years, I think. Bottom line, this is a big recruiting win.

Our highest rated recruit now according to 247. Not too shabby.

Thread title should be changed to ”4*DB”

 

[Techbert]

Once again, our coaching staff shows keen player evaluation, and not just persuasion.

This guy is a stud.Not only very versatile -(plays S,RB,QB, WR) but could also be a kick returner.The other obvious plus is his tackling capability.He hits,they go down.No arms or jersey grabs.
Smart,talented, and tough.Possible 3 yr starter even with talent we have now.. (I wish he weighed 225 and played LB)

Article up explaining Edwards’s decision..talks about how he was set to commit to Duke but being close to home with everything going on was the deciding factor. Could bode well for more Atlanta-area recruits.

Dacula’s Kaleb Edwards explains decision to commit to Georgia Tech

In mid-March, when the coronavirus pandemic rerouted Kaleb Edwards’ recruitment plans, the Dacula High safety was heavily leaning toward playing for Duke.

I don't get this Duke crap. Why even think about passing us over for them?

Because Cutcliffe has good reputation and track record whereas Collins is at the start of his.

I guess most kids think they're going to the League, eh?

Not as fast

Edwards is a great athlete, but Burnett was an elite athlete. Let’s not forget, Burnett started at CB his freshmen yr and did great.

Edwards is probably a bigger Jemea which is not shabby at all

MB1 is an insane athlete. Plus his head for football awareness and play diagnosis is great to outstanding too. Idk if this kid is there, the Jemea comparison is apropos.

When I was 17, I thought I was really smart... until I went to Tech.

Possibly he watched the past 5 years of our games w/Duke? Getting back to beating Duke on the reg will be one of the first milestones CGC needs to accomplish.

If Duke would just go back to sucking, it would be a lot easier.

We're in the process of righting that error.

And don't forget the big bags of money at Duke.

Duke really benefited by being able to recruit the Atlanta area more successfully than us.
