Here are some 2023 defensive backs who saw new offers come their way this week…
Daiquan White Daiquan White 5'10" | 160 lbs | DB Creekside | 2023 State GA – Creekside
Down in Fairburn is where you’ll find one of the top overall cover-corners in the Atlanta area. The athletic 5-foot-10 170-pounder has a long frame to him with quickness and impressive footwork. He’s just the newest defensive back who comes out of Creekside, a program that develops defensive backs as well as any across the state. Not only does he have natural cover instincts, but he has college-level ball skills and plays physical as well. He can hold his own on the outside against the run and knows how to get off tackles. He’s a quick cover corner already, but as he continues to get bigger while developing his craft as a cornerback, he’ll see more offers come his way. He recently added a new offer from UCONN.

Bryce Thornton Bryce Thornton 5'11" | 190 lbs | DB Milton | 2023 State GA – CB – Milton
One of the top athletes in the region, the standout defensive back is one of the best cornerback prospects across Georgia in the 2023 class. He’s quick, shifty, and showed great ball skills throughout the season. He’s an impact defender in the secondary, but he’s a reliable option on offense as well as a running back and receiver. He’s a sure tackle for a defender, making 93 tackles and picking off five passes in coverage. His ball skills and athleticism are easy to see, and it has earned him a recent offer from Pittsburgh.
Blessed to receive an offer From Pittsburg @ARCHIECOLLINS_ @CoachBenReaves @ChadSimmons_ @LonnieEstes @PghSportsNow @CoachNaldo pic.twitter.com/CZ2hFRUpUv

Johnsley Barbas – ATH
Arguably the top athlete on an up and coming Centennial team, The 6-foot-0 175-pounder in the 2023 class is coming off an excellent junior season in the secondary as he made 84 tackles, caused one fumble, and recovered another. He’s athletic, strong, knows how to be physical, tackles properly, and is also the team’s punter. As one of the better athletes on the team, Barbas also has the versatility and ball skills to help out on offense as a receiver and as a runner out of the backfield. Barbas added a new offer this week from Georgia State.
Glad to announce, that I have received an offer to @GeorgiaStateFB !!🙏🏾 @corypeoples @CoachOSullivan @CoachNorman_AGR @RecruitGeorgia @Mansell247 pic.twitter.com/9VGfoH8Lsf

Robert Billings – DB – Milton
One of the hardest hitting defenders in the 2023 class, Billings is coming off an excellent regular season for the 7A powerhouse Milton Eagles, showing he can both cover and help in the run game. The 6-foot-1 180-pounder has made 66 total tackles from his safety position and has picked off five passes as well. He also forced a fumble, caused a fumble, and blocked a punt on special teams. He’s smart, instinctive, and has made a lot of plays for one of the state’s top defenses. He’s tough, knows how to hit, and is starting to see some offers come his way. Billings recently earned an offer from Florida State.
Extremely Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Florida State.🍢@MiltonEagles_FB @LonnieEstes @Coach_Norvell @CoachAAtkins @JeremyO_Johnson @CoachNaldo @RWrightRivals @CoachBenReaves @Mansell247 @adamgorney pic.twitter.com/XEeDlvVRC8
