Growing up 30 minutes from Bobby Dodd Stadium, the Yellow Jackets had a lot to offer the 5-foot-9 corner back from McEachern.
When it comes to his recruiting profile, Askew was a composite three star from 247Sports and was ranked as the 540th best player in the country, 52nd best cornerback, and 54th best player in the state of Georgia.
While not heavily ranked by recruiting services, Askew was recruited by various top-tier prorgrams. His list of offers includes schools such as;
- Auburn
- Florida State
- Nebraska
- Ole Miss
- Oregon
- Texas A&M
- UCLA
- West Virginia
While being one of the later offers that Askew was offered, the Yellow Jackets got the Georgia native to commit within six months of his offer despite showing interest in Florida State.
