National Signing Day is less than a month away and Georgia State has its eyes set on numerous high school seniors from around the country.
Head coach Trent Miles and his staff have hit the recruiting trail since his arrival in December of last year in hopes of finding key pieces for next years team.
Recruiting is the lifeblood of every college athletic program and coach Miles’ first recruiting class will go a long way to determine the Panthers’ success in the seasons to come.
The Signal will track the verbal commitments made to Georgia State over the next few weeks and will conclude with all day coverage of National Signing Day on Wednesday, Feb. 6.
Players are not allowed to sign national letters of intent to enroll until Feb.6, therefore a verbal commitment is not official.
This list, or any list posted before Feb. 6, is unofficial and is not meant to be a complete list of verbal commitments made to Georgia State.
QB Oshay Carter- Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, Fla.)
6’3” 235
Carter passed for over 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns and helped lead the Trinity Christian Academy Conquerors to an 8-4 record this past fall. He also found the end zone twice on the ground.
LB Kight Dallas- Stephenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.)
6’2” 220
Dallas has the potential to be one of the most prized recruits in Georgia State’s young football history. He was recruited by South Carolina early in the recruiting period and several other Division I schools have shown interest in the speedy outside linebacker.

OT Brandon Pertile- Countryside (Clearwater, Fla.)

DB Jeremy Fulcher- Woodrow Wilson (Dallas, Texas)
