One thing that is a known, college coaches are well-aware of 2020 Georgia cornerback/athlete Dawson Ellington. It seems since he was in middle school, Ellington’s prolific achievements on the field have made the way into recruiting circles on the trail with colleges taking notice. To date, the 5-10, 190-pound, defender has hauled in 13 offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, UCLA, Ole Miss, Michigan, Pitt, Syracuse, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisville, Florida Atlantic and Wisconsin with teams like Florida State, Georgia, Ohio State, and Clemson showing various levels of interest over the years.

In a Recruiting News Guru catch-up interview, I got a quick Q&A in with the Marietta High School three-star recruit covering his offseason workouts and Tennessee camp while getting an update on his recruiting prospects.
