As was demonstrated in a recent fan-made chart on reddit, many of college football’s top performers come from the greater Atlanta area. It’s no surprise that SEC schools are heavily recruiting many of the standouts at Sunday’s The Opening Atlanta regional camp competition.
Two quarterbacks at the camp were invited to the Elite 11 in Los Angeles this July, including Georgia commit Jake Fromm.
