This article covers the latest rumblings from both the high school and collegiate recruiting ranks.
AD Mitchell Potential Landing Spots
Georgia star receiver AD Mitchell has officially entered the transfer portal and immediately has received interest. Texas was immediately labeled as the favorite, and reasonably so. Mitchell is originally from Texas and could look to form a dynamic receiving trio of Xavier Worthy, Isaiah Neyor, and himself. Other schools, including Colorado, are looking to get involved here.

Kam Pringle Working Towards Commitment
Premier offensive tackle Kam Pringle will announce his commitment on Sunday from Georgia, Tennessee, Clemson, South Carolina, Florida, and North Carolina State. The Gamecocks are the team to beat in this recruitment. The feeling around the other programs involved is that there is some catching up to do, but with a decision coming soon, South Carolina should be landing one of the top offensive linemen in the 2024 class.
This is pretty cool.
Monroe Freeling (Georgia commit) is SC's top player in c/o 2023.
Kam Pringle is SC's top player in c/o 2024.
Both 6'7, 300+ pounds.
Tonight, they go head to head. Literally.

St. Frances Trio Visiting Oregon
A trio of recruits from high school powerhouse St. Frances Academy will be in Eugene this weekend. This group includes quarterback Michael Van Buren, running back DeJuan Williams, and cornerback Ify Obedigwu. Van Buren is the top quarterback on the Ducks’ board for the 2024 cycle, and getting him on campus will be huge for their chances in his recruitment. Obedigwu comes to Oregon following a visit to Knoxville, where Tennessee gained some momentum with him. This will be Williams’ first visit to Eugene.

Tennessee Making Moves in Missouri
The new staff at Tennessee has been investing in the state of Missouri for recruits as of late. In the 2023 class, the Vols were able to land high-profile pass rusher Chandavian Bradley and look to do more work in the 2024 cycle. Defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri, wide receiver Ryan Wingo, and wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan made it up the Vols’ junior day on January 14th, and it couldn’t have gone better for Tennessee. Tennessee figures to be in the mix for all three as well as pass-catching tight end Jaden Reddell.
