Georgia football: Top offensive recruiting targets for 2021

Here are Georgia football’s top offensive recruiting targets for the class of 2021.

Earlier this week we wrote about some of Georgia football’s top defensive recruiting targets for the 2021 cycle and now we are taking a look at the other side of the ball.

Georgia is fresh off the No. 1 ranked class for the 2020 cycle and right now, for 2021, the Dawgs have some ground to make up between present day and next signing day.

As of now, Georgia has two commitments for a 2021 class that ranks 25th in the country.

Luckily for Georgia, Kirby Smart is one of the best finishers in the world of recruiting and always seems to get things going later in the process.

Part of the reason Georgia is ranked relatively high at No. 25 with just two commits is because of the quality of those two commitments.

Currently, the Bulldogs have a commitment from 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 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 offensive players only – as mentioned, we did defense earlier in the week.

Here are some of Georgia’s top offensive targets for 2021:

5-star OT Amarius Mims

Amarius Mims is 2021’s Broderick Jones, who was Georgia’s 5-star offensive tackle in the 2020 class.

At nearly six-foot-eight and 320 pounds, the junior out of Cochran, GA is already considered to be a Georgia lean. As per 247Sports, 100 percent of recruiting experts predict he will enroll at the University of Georgia.

Mims recently released a top-12 that included Georgia and a plethora of other SEC powerhouses.

He is the ranked as the No. 13 player in the country.

5-star RB Will Shipley

5-star running back Will Shipley is a priority recruit for just about every major program in the country.

Ranking as the nation’s No. 21 overall player and No. 1 all-purpose back, Shipley could join Tim Worley, Todd Gurley, Keith Marshall and Zamir White as the next great Georgia running back out of North Carolina.

Shipley comes from Weddington High School in a town about 5 minutes south of Charlotte where he has a 4.375 grade-point average.

He clocked a 4.46 40 time, rushed for 2,066 rushing yards last season and averaged 11 yards per carry.

Georgia coaches have been in contact with Shipley, with Kirby Smart and Dell McGee both visiting separately.
