The Coastal Empire football recruiting trail got busy in a hurry.
Four more Savannah-area football standouts announced their college commitments over the past nine days, continuing the recruiting momentum that has put 912 football on the radar of college coaches.
From Bradwell Institute to Jenkins High School to Calvary Day School, college programs are finding players who can compete, develop, and represent the 912.
Bradwell Institute offensive lineman Cameron Perry, a Class of 2027 prospect, announced his commitment to Gardner-Webb University on June 24.

The Coastal Empire has always had football talent, but more and more college programs are making sure they do not miss what is happening in Savannah and the surrounding area. These players are not just putting their schools on the map. They are helping keep this area in the recruiting conversation.
For Perry, Taylor, Harris, and Lewis, the next step is still ahead. They still have more high school football to play, more work to do in the classroom, and more chances to lead their teams.
But one thing is clear.
College coaches are watching the 912.
And these four young men just gave them another reason to keep coming back.
