A consensus three-star prospect out of Calhoun, Ga., the 6-foot-5, 260-pound Defoor was ranked as the No. 60 offensive tackle in the nation last season by 247Sports. Defoor’s Calhoun high school teams went a combined 28-1 the last two seasons, as the lineman garnered Georgia All-State honors both seasons.
