Georgia football player card: DB David Daniel

Georgia Bulldogs defensive back David Daniel was one of Kirby Smart’s first commitments in the class of 2021.

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.

Georgia Bulldogs sign 4-star DB David Daniel

The Georgia football program landed another massive signing in four-star Woodstock High School defensive back David Daniel.

The Georgia football program and head coach Kirby Smart landed another massive signing in defensive back David Daniel.

Daniel is a four-star recruit out of Woodstock High School, which is located south of Atlanta. At six-foot-two and 185 pounds, the UGA signee ranks No. 92 in the nation, No. 3 at his position and No. 10 in the state of Georgia.

Daniel picked the Bulldogs over elite college football programs like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Notre Dame.

Georgia will need a playmaker like Daniel to make up for the defensive backs who are headed to the NFL following the 2020 season. Additionally, Daniel will help fill the void in the 2021 recruiting class left when De’Jahn Warren flipped to Jackson State.

Cornerback Javon Bullard (Baldwin H.S./Milledgeville, Georgia) has committed to the University of Georgia. Bullard is a three-star recruit and is a member of the class of 2021.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 73 cornerback, Bullard picked Georgia over Louisville, NC State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.

Georgia now has 13 commitments in the class of 2021. Dan Lanning and the defense have two defensive back commitments. Georgia’s other 2021 defensive back to commit is four-star David Daniel.

Last year, the Dawgs added four defensive backs in the class of 2020. Georgia may be looking for more with the potential departures of Richard LeCounte, Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell, and more. Don’t be surprised if Kirby Smart adds a couple more defensive backs in the class of 2021.

The in-state three-star recruit, Javon Bullard, has announced his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs football program via his Twitter account:
