Watch: Georgia Bulldogs freshmen arrive on campus

The Georgia Bulldogs elite recruiting class of 2021 arrived on campus and has a message for UGA fans.

The Georgia Bulldogs have secured one of the top recruiting classes in the country in the class of 2021. Now, 16 of Georgia’s members of the touted recruiting class are on campus and are enrolled at the University of Georgia.

Kirby Smart and Georgia only have four players who have signed letters of intent, but aren’t on campus: Dylan Fairchild, Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Jared Wilson, and Kamari Lassiter.

Overall, Georgia has 20 signees in the class of 2021 with no outstanding verbalย  commitments. Georgia is recruiting more players at the moment, but still has the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the country.

Look for Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning to try to add another defensive back due to the departures of Eric Stokes, Tyrique Stevenson, DJ Daniel, Richard LeCounte, and Tyson Campbell in the secondary.

Here’s how members of the class of 2021 arrived on campus:

Numerous Georgia Bulldogs were very excited to be on campus in Athens and they are looking forward to the next step in their lives.

From the tone of the videos, it does sound like the new recruits are being given a quarantine period before they’ll be able to workout and later practice with the team.

Georgia football among 4-star DE Tyson Ford’s top four

The University of Georgia, Oklahoma, and more are among the top four schools for defensive end Tyson Ford.

The University of Georgia is among the top four schools for defensive end Tyson Ford. The Georgia Bulldogs football program and defensive coordinator Dan Lanning have offered a scholarship to Tyson Ford about a week ago. Ford plays defensive end for John Burroughs School, which is located just outside of St. Louis, Missouri.

Georgia joins several elite college football programs vying for Ford, who is rated as a four-star recruit. The John Burroughs School standout has received scholarship offers from Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State and about a dozen other college football programs.

Ford, who is a member of the class of 2022, has already accepted an invitation to the 2022 Under Armour All-American Game. He’s 6 feet, 5 inches and weighs 245 pounds.

On film, Ford is adept at working his way into the opposing backfield. He also plays tight end, where he excels as a powerful run blocker. He has decent athleticism and should only improve as he continues to add to his frame.

The four-star defensive end recruit announced his top schools via his Twitter account:

The Georgia Bulldogs, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Missouri Tigers, and Oklahoma Sooners are in Ford’s top four schools. We’ll keep you updated throughout Ford’s recruiting journey and if he makes a commitment.

Ford is projected to commit to Oklahoma, but don’t count out the other three school as they all have reasons Ford would thrive at their respective programs.
