3 Recruits Georgia and Auburn Are Fighting Over Ahead of Week 12 Rivalry Game

This week's monster SEC matchup between Georgia and Auburn is just as important off the field as it is between the white lines.

With these two titans clashing over top recruits week in and week out, the fight for these three future college football stars could be well and truly decided depending on the result on Saturday.

3. EDGE Zykeivous Walker

Walker could easily stay in his home state of Georgia, but joining up with a Chris Steele defense that is pumping out NFL defensive linemen could be equally as enticing. Walker is considering Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Auburn, and it's easy to see why every school in the South wants him. Strong as a bull at 260 pounds, Walker is on track for at least one All-Conference selection if he gets a touch more explosive at the line of scrimmage.

2. RB Zachary Evans

From Herschel Walker to Knowshon Moreno, to Nick Chubb and D'Andre Swift, Georgia sort of has a thing with superstar running backs, and Evans would be an instant impact player if he went to Georgia. Explosive, powerful, and with vision beyond his years, Evans is one of the few running backs that could handle a heavy SEC workload immediately out of high school and flourish. Of course, being guaranteed tons of carries in Gus Malzahn's up-tempo rushing attack could be enough to woo Evans over to Auburn.

1. S James Williams

A former Miami commit, Williams has the potential to be a game-changer on defense. Williams might be listed as a safety, but he's also a legit 6-5 and 220 pounds, with speed and merciless hitting power to boot. Any defensive coordinator with half a brain is going hard after Williams, and Georgia and Auburn are right at the forefront of his recruitment. A safety/linebacker/pass rusher hybrid, Williams is a athletic freak in every sense of the word.
