Decision Day for Georgia Defensive Back At All-Star Game

Banneker High School star DB Chaz Elder will announce a decision tonight on ESPNU during the Under Armor All-American game sometime after 7:30 p.m. Elder has narrowed his choices down to USC, UGA and Vanderbilt. Elder has favored South Carolina throughout the recruiting process since last summer and almost committed to the Gamecocks in August before postponing his decision until tonight. Georgia got the last official visit from Elder during a December 16th weekend trip to Athens, but it is perceived that Elder’s strong relationship with newly appointed Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward will be too strong for the Bulldogs and Commodores to overcome. Plus, South Carolina has always recruited Elder as a Cornerback versus a Safety. Elder prefers Cornerback. Elder is a 6’2” 185 pound prospect that plays at the same high school that former Gamecocks defensive back Carlos Thomas played in Atlanta. Even though Elder will announce his college decision the prep athlete might still visit other schools like Vanderbilt and possibly Arkansas. Elder is a four-star prospect.

SPURspective’s Prediction: South Carolina

Go Gamecocks!
