The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top seven teams for four-star LB Len’Neth Whitehead. Whitehead is a hometown recruit from Athens, Georgia. The 6’1″ and 230 lbs. prospect out of Athens Academy is considering quite a few local SEC schools:
Whiteside is projected to play either LB or RB in college. At his size, he would be have to be more of a power back. He has a prototypical build for the linebacker position. RBs taller than six feet are rare in the NFL, with Derrick Henry being a notable exception. Shorter backs are more difficult to find coming out of the backfield and are able to fit through smaller spaces and can change direction quicker.
