Georgia landed an important commitment on Friday, securing a verbal from Stephon Shivers. But the defensive tackle might just be a secret weapon for Georgia on offense.<\/p>\n

The three-star defensive tackle’s verbal to Georgia<\/a> adds some much-needed interior presence to their class. At 6-foot-4 and 355 pounds, Shivers is an impressive prospect with a recruiting offer list to match his frame.<\/p>\n

Earlier in March, Shivers was offered by Texas<\/a>. He also held offers from Florida<\/a>, Louisville, Michigan<\/a>, Purdue and Tennessee<\/a> among others.<\/p>\n

From Humboldt (Humboldt, Tennessee), Shivers takes on multiple blockers in the interior and does a nice job of not just collapsing the pocket but breaking free to make plays in the backfield.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, on film he shows good strength as well as solid pad level and good footwork. His commitment gives Georgia a prospect with a very high ceiling.<\/p>\n

But this highlight play, where Shivers took a handoff and ran for 75 yards…well, it defies any type of explanation.<\/p>\n
