Continue ReadingMany defensive players stood out this past season. Having a strong secondary was a common trend for the better teams in 7A. Schools like Collins Hill and Lowndes benefited greatly from turnovers caused by players in their secondary. Today we’re going to look at the interception leaders from 7A this past season.

, Class of 2023, Roswell
There was a tie for the interceptions leader at 8 between Nation and Hunter. Nation put forth a great sophomore campaign. He excels at zone coverage and did a great job covering his zone this season. He was able to cover the out and curl routes. He did a fantastic job covering the deep half and third zones, challenging receivers down the field. Nation has strong hands, coming down with his fair share of jump balls. Nation has already received offers from schools like Arkansas, Auburn, and Cincinnati.
Travis Hunter

Collins Hill | 2022

GA
, Class of 2022, Collins Hill
Hunter was tied for first in interceptions this year with 8. Along with his 8 interceptions he had 7 pass deflections, 51 total tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery in 15 games. He is a tremendous athlete and it shows in his play. He has great leaping abilities. Hunter is a natural runner in coverage and can stick with his man. He has fantastic ball-hawking and coverage skills. With his skill set, he has the potential to be a shutdown corner. While he still has one year left in high school he has already committed to Florida State.
Tylar Belcher, Class of 2022, Lowndes
Belcher was the third interceptions leader. He played 12 games this year and had 6 interceptions, 71 interception yards, 3 pass deflections, and 50 total tackles. Belcher has good instincts and plays fast. He did a great job against bubble screens, quickly breaking to blow up the play. He is a good zone corner with ball-hawking instincts. He has received an offer from Akron and if he balls out next season I expect more offers to come his way.
Antonio “TJ” Spradley, Class of 2021, Colquitt County
The fourth interceptions leader was Spradley. In 10 games, he finished the season with 5 interceptions, 74 interception yards, 3 pass deflections, 38 total tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries. Spradley has a good reaction time, he broke on the ball quickly and disrupted many passes this season. Not afraid of contact and has good tackling techniques. He is verbally committed to Kent State but has yet to sign his letter of intent.
Multiple Prospects
Multiple defensive backs tied for the 5th most interceptions with 4. These players showed off their ball-hawking skills, making big plays for their teams all season long. Their great coverage skills were on display this season. Many of these players have the traits to succeed at the next level.
