Summer is here, and the recruiting action has been heating up along with the temperatures in the Coastal Empire.
Here’s a look at some of the recent news in the college recruiting world involving athletes from the Greater Savannah area.
Micah Williams, Benedictine
The standout senior defensive back made news last week as he announced a commitment to James Madison University, before switching up a few days later and committing to play for Appalachian State.
As a junior, Williams had 74 tackles, with five passes defended and four interceptions. He also had five receptions for 100 yards and a pair of scores and earned All-Region 1-4A first-team honors as a defensive back.
Williams is also a standout guard on the Cadet basketball team.
Ben Hockman, New Hampstead football
The senior receiver is known for his lightning speed, excellent hands and route running ability. Also a standout in the classroom, as he maintains a GPA of 4.30, while taking advanced classes at New Hampstead.
The combination drew the interest of Ivy League schools and Hockman, the nephew of New Hampstead head coach Kyle Hockman, looks to be headed north to play college football after recently committing to play at Cornell.
As a junior, Hockman had 35 catches for 771 yards and seven scores. As a sophomore, he finished fifth in the Class 4A 200 meters (21.69) and eighth in the 100 meters (10.79). A hamstring injury sidelined him as a junior at the end of the season.
“I really like the coaching staff at Cornell and the culture there seemed different,” said Hockman, who said Harvard and RIchmond were also in his top three schools. “And I love the offensive scheme — they are throwing the ball like 70% of the time so that made it a perfect fit.”
Hockman said he plans to major in foreign relations and hopes to pursue a career in international labor relations.
