The top receiver in the Class of 2016 is still out there to be had, and Georgia is getting one last chance to sway him.
According to Kipp Adams of 247Sports, five-star receiver Demetris Robertson will take his last official visit to Georgia. The five-star receiver out of Savannah, Ga., rated as the No. 1 receiver in the cycle based on 247Sports’ composite rankings, is planning on coming to Athens on March 18.
The 6-foot, 175-pounder has already had his other four official visits to Alabama, Notre Dame, Cal and Georgia Tech, so this is his last.
In the story by Adams, this news comes from Robertson’s family, and Adams says the elite prospect met with coach Kirby Smart to arrange the visit on Monday.
Robertson is the highest-rated prospect that has yet to sign a National Letter of Intent. The deadline for signing and submitting one is April 1, but Robertson is currently trying to gain admittance into Stanford. To do so, he plans to re-take the SAT this weekend and wait for the results, which won’t be available until May, according to his family.
Instead of signing the optional letter of intent, Robertson could sign a non-binding financial aid agreement with any school before he enrolls. Then, the highly sought after prospect would still have a scholarship waiting for him whenever he wants to go.
