UGA football in top group for 5-star RB Richard Young

The Georgia Bulldogs have cracked Richard Young’s list of top schools. Young is the top-ranked running back recruit in the class of 2023.

The elite running back has visited Florida, Clemson, Ohio State, FSU and Alabama this summer. He has scholarship offers from most of the top college football programs in the country.

Here’s a photo from Young’s visit to Athens this June:

Georgia has upgraded its facility this offseason and should be an impressive destination for the nation’s best recruits.

Georgia football offers 4-star WR Karmello English

The Georgia Bulldogs offered a scholarship to yet another Central High School football star, Karmello English. Central High School is located in Phenix City, Alabama, which is just across the border from Georgia.

English is a member of the class of 2023 and is ranked as a four-star wide receiver prospect. The 6-foot wide receiver prospect weighs 185 pounds and goes up against some stout competition in practice.

Central High School finished the 2020 season with a 7-5 record, but is ranked as the No. 11 high school team in the state of Alabama.

The Central High School star is rated the No. 17 wide receiver prospect in the sophomore class. Penn State, Alabama, Mississippi State, Florida State, Auburn, Ole Miss and several more top college football programs have offered English a scholarship.

The four-star has already received an invitation to the 2023 Under Armour All-America Game. In addition to football, English plays basketball. English has an impressive vertical jump and is capable of high pointing the football.

English announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via his Twitter account:

The Georgia Bulldogs football program has offered a scholarship to talented defensive end Jalen Thompson.

The Georgia Bulldogs football program has offered a scholarship to talented defensive end Jalen Thompson.

Thompson is 6 feet, 4 inches and weighs 240 pounds. He plays high school football for Cass Technical in Detroit, Michigan. Thus far, Thompson has received scholarship offers from Pittsburgh, Michigan, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Kentucky and others.

The Cass Technical star athlete is a member of the class of 2023. Thompson is wrapping up his sophomore year. Thompson is unranked as a recruit.

What makes Thompson a special defensive end prospect? He reads the offense well in the run game and can easily disengage from blocks. Thompson shows versatility and lines up at both defensive end and defensive tackle in high school.

Last season, Thompson put up impressive statistics. He recorded 8.0 sacks, 15 tackles and two forced fumbles. The unrated recruit would project as a 4-3 defensive end or a 3-4 defensive end at the next level.

Thompson announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via his Twitter account:

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have three commitments in the class of 2023 at the moment. Georgia already has one 2023 defensive line commitment in Seven Cloud.
