Lorenzo Carter, Raekwon McMillan highlight Georgia contingent at Nike’s The Opening

Nine Georgia recruits, including two Elite 11 quarterbacks, make up the strong Georgia contingent at Nike’s The Opening.

Although many eyes will be on the two signal-callers, Clemson commit Deshaun Watson and Ohio State commit Stephen Collier, there’s also uncommitted defenders DE Lorenzo Carter and LB Raekwon McMillan, each considered among the top 20 players at any position in the country.

Here’s a look at the nine players from the Peach State headed to Beaverton, Ore.

QB Deshaun Watson (@ShaunWatson4)
Gainesville (Ga.)
The 6’4, 200-pound Watson is one of the highest-rated quarterbacks in the country, carrying a consensus four-star grade. Watson has already committed to Clemson after also being offered by major programs such as Georgia, Florida State, LSU, Ohio State and Tennessee. As a junior, the Georgia Class AAAAA Player of the Year completed 315 passes out of 435 attempts for 4,311 yards and 50 TDs with only eight interceptions. Watson also ran for 1,444 yards and another 24 scores, giving him 74 touchdowns on the year. In one of his games, a 69-0 win over Winder-Barrow, the Gainesville star was literally perfect, going 18-of-18 for 350 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming one of only three players to throw for seven or more scores in a game in Georgia high school history.
