Georgia Makes Extremely Early Push for Playmaker

It's never too early to make an offer on the recruiting trail, especially for a legacy player.

Tight end Asa Wall just finished his freshman year of high school. But On3's Jeremy Johnson reported Saturday that while participating in a 7-on-7 tournament in Athens, Georgia, the Georgia Bulldogs made an offer to the tight end.

Wall's father, J.T. Wall, played fullback for the Bulldogs from 2001-02.

“I’ve always been very interested in Georgia,” Wall told Johnson. “Growing up in Georgia, it’s hard not to be a fan…I have grown up listening to stories about when my dad played for Georgia.”

Wall also described how he received the offer from the Bulldogs.

“Coach Smart offered me between games at the 7 on 7, and I was grateful and excited, but I had to get back focused on the next game and compete with my teammates."

Wall's father may have gotten the tight end's foot in the door at Georgia. But Wall stressed that he will have to earn the rest of what his career could entail with the Bulldogs.

“They make you work for what you get, and it is not given,” said Wall, who added that he is already developing a relationship with Bulldogs tight end coach Todd Hartley.

If Wall committed to the Bulldogs, he would be the program's first prospect in the 2028 class. However, it's very early in the recruitment process for that class.

Recruiting websites don't even have their rankings out yet on players who will be entering their sophomore high school seasons this fall.

In his two seasons, J.T. Wall ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns with the Bulldogs. He also caught 11 passes for 105 yards and two additional scores.
