Florida football extended an offer to Peach State native and Georgia target, edge defender Success Nwabude, last Thursday by Gators defensive line coach Gerald Chatman.
Nwabude is a 6-foot-6-inch, 245-pound prospect from Athens Christian School. Nwabude played his first organized season of football as a junior, where he amassed 14 tackles and a fumble recovery in just five games.
The four-star athlete possesses physical traits and raw athletic prowess that SEC coaches covet. With an 82-inch wingspan and a 4.89-second 40-yard dash, the multi-sport athlete is quickly ascending on the national recruiting scene.
While he only began his football journey in April, Nwabude’s athleticism has earned him a high profile among scouts. Although he’s played out of position on the offensive and defensive lines, Nwabude projects as an impact edge rusher.
Success Nwabude’s recruiting summary
Nwabude is ranked No. 326 overall and No. 26 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite, while the Rivals industry ranking has him at Nos. 672 and 53, respectively. He has 12 standing offers, including five SEC programs.
Georgia leads the pack with a 32.8% chance of landing the prospect, followed closely by Georgia Tech, which is predicted at 28.7% and South Carolina at 24.6%. Florida currently holds the fourth-best odds to sign Nwabude at 1.9%.
