GSU Offers Rockdale County Safety Neville Hewitt

From Bulldog to Panther?

According to today's Rockdale Citizen, Rockdale County HS Safety Neville Hewitt is now holding an offer from Georgia State. The 6'2, 195lbs Rover also has FBS offers from Memphis and Western Kentucky.

The Panthers will graduate both starting FS Brandon Jones and back up Michael Hall in 2011. This is a critical need for this recruiting cycle. GSU already has a commitment from Roswell HS ATH Nick Henderson who could play Safety or Slot WR in 2011.

The coaching staff has been a frequent visitor at the Conyers campus as they were also pursuing 6'4, 270lbs Jerry Mathis.  Mathis verballed this afternoon to Samford where he took an official visit this past weekend.

Just confirmed that we've locked up a verbal from Athlete Nick Henderson out of Roswell HS. He was a 3 year starter and played Safety/Wide Receiver/Tight End for the Hornets.   I've been told we are recruiting him as an ATH (I'd imagine he'll likely RS in 2011 and then will be placed at Free Safety/Rover and provide depth behind Fred Barnes).  This fills another need and a great find by Coach Curry and staff.

Scouting Report and Notes: Good frame to play Safety.  Good recognition and sure tackler from the film I've seen. He looks to project at a 6'1 and in the 210-215lbs range.  He was Honorable Mention All-North Fulton Neighbor Team at WR this season.  From what I've been told, he's "pumped to be a Panther."

2010 Stats: 30 catches, 370 yards and 1 TD.
