On3 Recruits names two Notre Dame players as 5-Stars in ‘21 class

A well deserved recognition for two incoming Notre Dame stars

Although it’s a new recruiting service, On3, founded by Shannon Terry who made major contributions to Rivals and 247Sports, has garnered a good deal of attention since their brand began earlier this year.

Today, they dropped their class of 2021 5-Star players in the 2021 class, the top 32 players in their estimation in the country. The list is a bit different than what we have seen before, as there are a few names that didn’t get the same recognition that On3 has given them today.

Two of Notre Dame’s 2021 commits made their list, linebacker Prince Kollie and athlete Lorenzo Styles Jr. Both are expect to have early impacts for the Irish this fall.

We knew that the 2021 class was talented, but for both Kollie and Styles Jr. the recognition was deserved. Kollie was given the high school Butkus Award, and Styles Jr. was a two-way star for Pickerington North.

Styles Jr. didn’t get as much recruiting “love” due to the fact that he wasn’t a one-trick-pony, excelling at wide receiver, where he’ll start his Notre Dame career, at cornerback and as a returner on special teams.

Big things are expected from both of these players and we expect that Kollie and Styles Jr. will make their marks in the Blue and Gold.

5-star UGA QB commit Brock Vandagriff recruiting top talent to Georgia

Georgia football 5-star QB commit Brock Vandagriff is doing some recruiting of his own on Twitter, encouraging prospects to sign with UGA.

Georgia’s 2021 recruiting class, led by 5-star quarterback commit Brock Vandagriff, is starting to take shape as we head into the summer.

Vandagriff, from Bogart, Georgia, plays for Prince Avenue Christian School and seems to be actively recruiting some of the most talented recruits to play along side him at UGA in 2021.

Tuesday, Vandagriff tweeted 5-star offensive tackle Amarius Mims from Cochran, Georgia, encouraging him to be the next piece of Georgia’s talented offensive line.

Mims (6-7, 315)  is rated as the No. 2 OT and the No. 1 player in Georgia, so we can’t blame Vandagriff for wanting Mims to protect his blindside next year.

Next, Vandagriff continued his recruiting on Twitter by tweeting 5-star linebacker Smael Mondon out of Dallas, Georgia.

Mondon (6-3, 220) is rated as the No. 2 OLB and the No. 3 player in Georgia.

According to the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions, both Mims and Mondon are predicted to sign with Georgia.

I suppose we can add Vandagriff to the list of recruiters with Kirby Smart and the Georgia coaching staff. It’s always nice to see a young leader with the willingness to help his program before he even takes the field.
