Partial quote from a 05/13/16 article on Scout.com by Chad Simmonds:

"Queen (his HS coach)  praised Geathers' athleticism and his size.  What does Geathers feel he does best?

"I excel as a pass rusher.  I come off the edge, I blitz a lot, and I feel that is the best part of my game.  I like to watch Robert Nkemdiche and see how he makes plays, and learn from him.  I am athletic at outside linebacker and I can run.  I work hard too."

Geathers holds 17 offers from mostly Group-of-Five schools. Syracuse and UMass are the current schools offering from the Northeast.
