Georgia football wrapped up a 2020 recruiting class that ranked No. 1 in America.
Right now for the class of 2021, the Bulldogs have two commitments for a class that currently ranks No. 24.
Those two commitments are pretty big, however. The headliner for this class is, and will continue to be, 5-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff (Bogart, Ga.), the No. 1 ranked quarterback and No. 8 player overall.
Accompanying Vandagriff as the only other commit in this class is 4-star defensive back David Daniel (Woodstock, Ga.). Daniel, who is recruited as a safety, is considered an athlete on 247Sports and ranks as the nation’s 45th player.
Until both Vandagriff and Daniel officially sign with Georgia roughly a year from now, Kirby Smart and staff will continue to recruit both of them heavily. But there’s still 20+ others guys that Smart will need to land a commitment from for the 2021 class, and we are taking a look at a few players that should be Georgia’s biggest targets.
These are defensive players only – we will have an offensive one as well.
Here are some of Georgia’s top defensive targets for 2021:
1. DB James Williams
Williams is a 5-star safety out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, an area that Georgia traditionally recruits very well.
Ranked as the No. 1 safety and No. 5 player in the entire class, Williams holds offers from just about everywhere, but Georgia is considered the favorite as of now according to 247Sports. Williams is a freak of nature at 6-5, 218 pounds. He’s projected to be a safety at the moment, but this guy is not done forming. He could very well end up as a linebacker.
2. DB Tony Grimes
Another 5-star defensive back, Tony Grimes (Virginia Beach, Va.) is the No. 1 cornerback in the country and the No. 10 overall player.
Grimes visited Georgia recently for junior day and it was supposedly a great visit. Georgia is very much in it for Grimes and right now the other two leaders appear to be Virginia Tech and Texas A&M.
