David Daniel, Defensive Back (No. 14):
Class: Freshman
Height: 6-2
Weight: 185 pounds
Hometown: Woodstock, Georgia
High School: Woodstock High School
Georgia Bulldogs defensive back David Daniel was one of Kirby Smart’s first commitments in the class of 2021. Daniel enrolled early at the University of Georgia and competed throughout spring drills and the spring game.
Daniel is the first player from Woodstock High School to sign with Georgia in a long time. He came to Athens as a four-star athlete. Daniel played both wide receiver and cornerback during his time at Woodstock.
Georgia started cornerbacks Ameer Speed and Jalen Kimber in the spring game, but the secondary will look much different to open the season.
Kirby Smart brought in additional talent at defensive back, including Clemson transfer Derion Kendrick, Alabama transfer Brandon Turnage and West Virgnia transfer Tykee Smith. Former five-star recruit Kelee Ringo, who missed last season with a shoulder injury, will compete for playing time at cornerback as well.
At safety, Christopher Smith and Lewis Cine are projected to retain their starting roles. Georgia lost a bunch of talent in the secondary to the 2021 NFL draft.
