COLLEGE SPOTLIGHTS

Once our local stars graduate, we still keep up with them when they play at the next level. Some of the top talent we’ve covered include: Deshaun Watson (NFL, Clemson), Gunner Stockton (UGA), Tavarres King (NFL, UGA), Spencer Adams (MLB), Charlie Woerner (NFL, UGA), Jenna Gearing (Clemson/Kentucky), Kaylee Sticker (Clemson), Ashely Lowery (Kentucky), Kevin Ellison (Ga Southern), Bailey Fisher (Gardner-Webb/Tenn Tech), Paige Cook (Miss State), Lane Watkins (UGA), Emma Whitfield (Clemson), Caroline Craig (UGA/Indiana), Jaden Gibson (Virginia), Jenna Abbott (Auburn), and many more!

POWER FIVE

Of our College Spotlights, very few go on to play at the Division-I level in NCAA. Of that group, it’s even more rare to play in a Power Five Conference. These might be the most recruited players we’ve ever covered…76 in total as of November 2025.
