Georgia football: where are the best players in the state coming from

The state of Georgia currently has 34 players listed as four or five-star prospects. The best is athlete Arik Gilbert, ranked no. 10 in the nation. At no. 34 is offensive guard Avery Jernigan. But where are these players coming from? Are there any regions that produce considerably more talent than others?

21 players are from the Atlanta area.

No surprise, the Atlanta area is the most talent rich area in the state. 21 of the 34 best prospects are from either Gwinnett, Fulton, Cobb, Henry or Dekalb counties. Most players are from outside I-285.
