Kevin Hartsfield

Peter Pierre, stud tight end from Chaminade.

Kevin Hartsfield, n- maybe the number one ti- uh, running back in the country.

Maua Tenata, who we'll talk about.

We actually talked about on yesterday's show.

And by the way, I got some news involving that for you coming up in a moment.

But, um, to see Kevin Hartsfield, the junior running back, obviously had a couple of rushing touchdowns.

But the receiving touchdown for the former wide receiver last week in a back and forth shootout with Westlake, that's as much fun as I've had with a high school game in quite some time.

And I think it only further accentuates why, even with Kimon Spell for the class of 2027, why a guy like Hartsfield would be a very big deal for Georgia, the class of 2028.

But it sounds like Georgia's got some special help trying to get this one done, right?

Yeah, not only is Kirby texting him after those plays, uh, he's also got, there's a commitment in the 2027 class, Adrian Cole, who has been playing ball with him since they were eight or nine years old, Brandon.

When Adrian Cole committed to the Dogs, uh, back in the summer, I thought it was interesting to see Kevin Hartsfield as a guest at that ceremony.

That's how close those two guys are.

There's not going to be another game in the country that has as many blue chip guys as Miami has in for that one.

no i think it's the biggest recruiting weekend in the country all season you know i think not just for the week i think all season long uh when you look at the talent you mentioned 13 of the top 50 but i think it's like half of the top 10 too and then you have so many uh number one players at each position like uh i'll give you an example kevin hartsfield is the number one running back in the country but it's a weaker year for running back so he's outside of the top 50 overall but still number one at his position And then you have the number one safety, Casey Barner, coming in the number one offensive tackle, depending on service, the top two offensive tackles into the country, Antoine Wilkes and Maui Tonata.

So just talent on top of talent.

And of course, the number one overall recruit in the country, Bryson Wright.

I want to pick EJ's brain on, out of a lot of these top visitors, which ones Miami could be trending for at the moment.

We mentioned the top 50 guys.

There's also other key top 100 players coming in, like Kevin Hartsfield, Jalen Flowers, personal favorite of mine, Dennis Tuohoni, who I think really likes Miami.

So we're going to keep it going.

There's running back Jayshawn Mitchell, who is one of the best running backs in the country.

We know that Georgia already has Kimon Spell in the '27 class, and they're trying to go get Kevin Hartsfield in the 2028 class.

But Jayshawn, anytime you're getting a player like that from out of state on campus, it, it's worth noting.

So Georgia is getting a really, really talented running back on campus out of the state of Texas.

I know we'll talk to Jeff Still about this.

Westlake against Newton, a chance to see Kevin Hartsfield, uh, as good a running back as there is anywhere in the class of 2028.

Westlake's loaded with talent, too, so we got a big game coming tomorrow on TV before we go to Athens on Saturday between Westlake and Newton.

I hope you'll tune in on Atlanta News First to see that.

There's not a quick replacement for him.

George is that close to getting going Kimon Spell and then maybe Kevin Hartsfield, the next class, which would be back-to-back number one running backs in America, according to rivals.

So we'll see.

But I know we've got a lot of other questions to get to, but we had to address that.

And it starts this weekend with him coming to watch Tennessee take on Texas.

The expectation is he'll be joined by top 2028 running back Kevin Hartsfield out of Georgia as well.

So Tennessee continuing to recruit elite guys at that position.

And they've recruited Hartsfield for a while, along with Georgia and Ohio State.

When you look back to Alabama in 22, Alabama in 24, Florida in 22 and 24.

When you have those big game fields at Neyland Stadium, they seem to do a really good job of getting guys into town.

If you can get your top pass catcher option in town in Braylon Clark, you've got the number one running back in 27 in DGG, the number one running back in 28 in Kevin Hartsfield.

Ron Walls, a top 100 offensive lineman out of Kentucky, who's been a frequent visitor to Tennessee so far, was here for 865 Live, told me earlier today that he will be back in town.

Man, it's just a really loaded list.

You have Kevin Hartsfield, the number one running back in the country, coming in out of Georgia.

There's so many guys to name.

Titan McNeil, the number one tight end in the country, coming all the way from the Pacific Northwest.
