Georgia football’s 2020 recruiting class is developing into a powerhouse. The Bulldog’s class is currently ranked sixth overall, but UGA has room for several more commitments.
At 11:00 a.m. on signing day, fourteen of Georgia’s sixteen commits had delivered their signed letter of intent. Two more commits, offensive linemen Broderick Jones and Sedrick Van Pran, have decided to wait until the February signing period.
Currently, Georgia’s class is ranked behind Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Texas A&M. The sixth-ranked class overall is only good for fourth in the SEC!
Taking a closer look at the rankings, Georgia is No. 2 in the nation in terms of quality of recruit. The Dawgs’ recruits average an eye-popping 93.6 rating, only .05 points behind Clemson’s 93.65 average rating.
UGA currently has 16 signees/commits, which is the lowest amount of all the teams in the Top 10. The Dawgs will sign 23 preps this cycle and will move up those rankings and have an outside chance of displacing Clemson for the top class.
With the possible addition of five-star cornerback Kelee Ringo (Scottsdale, AZ), five-star athlete Darnell Washington (Las Vegas, NV), four-star safety Eric Reed (Shreveport, LA) and four-star wideout Arian Smith (Lakeland, FL), each of whom is considered a Georgia lean, the Dawgs would finish with at least the No. 2 rated class in the country.
And as Kirby Smart has proven in the past, he always has a few last minute surprises, such as snatching Ohio State commit D’wan Mathis from the Buckeyes last year. Could he do the same with undecided five-star defensive lineman Jordan Burch (Columbia, SC) or four-star cornerback Dontae Manning (Kansas City, MO)….or possibly another under- the-radar surprise like Mathis last season? Stay tuned.
The Early Signing Period ends on Friday and National Signing Day is Wednesday, February 5, 2020. College football recruiting is dynamic and never ending, so expect a lot more maneuvering among the major programs during the next 50 days.
