Best Georgia football recruit from every state since the year 2000

Looking at the best Georgia football recruit from each state in the US since the year 2000.

When it comes to college football recruiting, it’s difficult to find a school that rests in a more opportune location than The University of Georgia.

Located in one of the nation’s largest hotbeds for high school football talent, UGA has easy, yearly access to a majority of America’s top talent. Since 2000, Mark Richt and Kirby Smart have not had to look far when building their highly ranked recruiting classes, however, they have been able to poach prep stars from a few unexpected regions in the US.

Here we look at Georgia’s top recruits from each state since the turn of the millennium. This list is comprised of players from both the efforts of Richt and Smart, and if you’re a longtime UGA follower, it should pose as a nice trip down memory lane.

All of these numbers come from 247Sports composite rankings that go back to the year 2000.

Fab Four: Selecting Georgia football’s Mount Rushmore of all-time recruits

On the eve of early signing day, UGA Wire recalls the most hyped commits in school history.

The University of Georgia rests in the heart of one of America’s most fertile recruiting grounds as it relates to high school football.

Each year, the Bulldogs reel in some of the nation’s top recruits. In fact, in five of the last six recruiting cycles, Kirby Smart has landed a signature from a top-five player in the country.

It was a daunting task to narrow Georgia’s top recruits of all-time to four, but we gave it a go. Remember, this list is solely based on how high-profile the player was coming out of high school and does not take into consideration the players’ collegiate or professional careers.
