Out of Whitefield Academy in Mableton, Georgia, Geffrard is listed at 6-6, 350 pounds. Geffrard is rated 3-stars, the No. 97 Peach State recruit, No. 97 offensive tackle and No. 1,085 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2023 on the 247Sports Composite. His commitment announcement, however, indicates he will play defense for the Hogs. Geffrard currently has 14 scholarship offers, including Auburn and Mississippi State.
With Geffrard on board, Arkansas has 14 players committed for 2023. His highlights can be viewed below, via Hudl:
The article has been updated to reflect Geffrard’s indication that he will play defense.
Gets out of his stance and downfield really well relative to his size.
Coach does wonders with project OL…expect the same here.
Looks awfully fat and out of shape. He will make a good scout team body.
This Gentleman was recruited for the DL. He even says,”Let’s get to work on defense.” From what I understand, Arkansas is done at OL, except for taking a possible 5 star OL.
You’re right. Geffrard obviously knows the position he was recruited to play. Not hard to see why Arkansas would want a big body on the d-line even if the recruiting sites grade him as OT. The story has been updated,
No problem Andrew, it was an easy miss because he’s mainly being recruited as an OL like you’ve mentioned above. Just giving a heads up, I really appreciate you correcting the article, getting the right information is what’s important so thank you.
Or… Maybe he is playing offense and is calling out the sh!tty defense?
Really sh!tty defense I don’t recall our defense being sh!tty
Don’t tell me, tell your new recruit. he’s the one who made the comment.
