TheKnightReport - Southeast Spotlight: Five most impressive performances

Georgia and Texas are working to flip three-star Rutgers commit Braxton Kyle.

Kyle saw his recruitment reach new heights this off-season after committing to Rutgers, then camping and collecting an offer from in-state Georgia. Kyle fills out his uniform as a true defensive tackle at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, and plays big, too.

The three-star prospect pushes the pile and battles tough inside. He's bulky in the middle of the defensive line and came away with multiple sacks and pressures in a tough season opener in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The big man not only occupied gaps and ate up blockers, Kyle also snatched an interception right before the end of the first half and then punctuated the game for Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett with a strip-sack in the final quarter.

Georgia is actively working to change Kyle's mind and Texas extended an offer following his strong Week 1 debut. He's a stock-up candidate at a premium position on defense.
