Reddell discusses his interest in Georgia and Tennessee
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound recruit recently visited the Bulldogs on the weekend of March 18. Georgia already has a commitment from Moultrie (Ga.) Colquitt County five-star tight end Landen Thomas.
“I got the full visit experience at Georgia on this visit,” Reddell shared with Simmons on March 22. “I got to spend time with the coaches, watch practice, tour the campus, see the facilities and it easily met my expectations. The overall visits exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed with Georgia and it was a great visit all around.”
“Me and coach Hartley have a great connection,” he added. “We talk at least once a week, we text throughout the week and he is a great coach with a great personality.
“We sat down and had some one-on-one time and it was great. He showed me how I would be used. We went over how my skills are like (Brock) Bowers‘ in Georgia’s offense and it was great.”
Meanwhile, Reddell returned to Tennessee on the weekend of April 1. He was last in Knoxville on Oct. 15 for the Volunteers’ win over Alabama.
“I went to the Tennessee-Alabama game and that was great, my first college visit and I couldn’t ask for a better visit,” Reddell told On3’s Sam Spiegelman on March 14. “After the game, we got to rush the field, it was a cool experience.”
“I want to meet the new TE coach (Alec Abeln) in-person and talk to him and see how he coaches,” he added.
In addition to Georgia and Tennessee, the four-star has recently visited other programs. They include Nebraska (March 24) and Notre Dame (March 25).
