2. DT Travis Shaw (5-star)

While there is plenty to be decided at the defensive end spot, the No. 1 defensive line prospect has been no secret for quite some time.

5-star DT Travis Shaw- who is rated as the No. 2 DT in the nation- has been on campus before, but it’s been quite a while.

The hope is that the Tigers will get him in for the Elite Retreat and/or the All-In Cookout this summer before he takes an official visit this fall. Shaw doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to make a decision, but it is believed that the two major programs vying for his commitment are Clemson and North Carolina. That being said, Georgia is becoming more and more of a factor especially after the Bulldogs picked up 4-star LB Jalon Walker earlier this spring.

Shaw is a monster who the Tigers will have a spot open for no matter how long he keeps his recruitment open.
