Defending Class 6A champion Buford has eight players among 247Sports Composite’s top 100 senior prospects in Georgia. Buford had only one last season (RB Gabe Ervin), but the current eight were key members of that championship campaign. Only 37 Georgia teams have a consensus top-100 senior recruit, and one of those is outside the GHSA. That’s Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, a Rabun County boarding school that plays in the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association. In the 2021 class, 89 of the 247Sports Composite’s top 100 Georgia players signed with Power 5 conferences.
