The University of Georgia will host elite tight end recruit Jaxon Dollar of Denver, North Carolina's East Lincoln High School twice in April, as the Bulldogs have replaced LSU as Dollar's planned destination this week.

Why it matters

Jaxon Dollar is the nation's second-ranked tight end prospect and a highly coveted recruit, so securing multiple visits from him is a major recruiting coup for the Georgia Bulldogs as they look to bolster their offensive firepower for the upcoming season.

The details

Originally, Dollar was scheduled to visit LSU this week, but those plans have changed, and he will now be in Athens to meet with the Georgia coaching staff and tour the facilities. This will be the first of two planned visits for Dollar to UGA in April as the Bulldogs look to make a strong impression and secure a commitment from the top-tier talent.

  • Jaxon Dollar will visit UGA this week, replacing his originally planned trip to LSU.
  • Dollar will have a second visit to Georgia scheduled for later in April.
