Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Kelee Ringo comes to Athens after being rated as a five-star recruit. Most scouting services considered Ringo to be the top cornerback recruit in the class of 2020.

Ringo played in the 2020 All-American Bowl and committed to the University of Georgia during the game.

He played both defensive back and running back at Saguaro High School. As a junior, Ringo ran a 10.4 one-hundred meters. He has elite size and speed for a cornerback. Georgia football was pursuing a four-star defensive end (Quintin Somerville), who is a member of the class of 2021 at Saguaro High School.

Ringo underwent offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to miss a portion of the 2020 college football season.

Daran Branch, Kelee Ringo, Jalen Kimber and Major Burns are Georgia’s four scholarship defensive backs in the class of 2020. These four have a lot of talent.

Georgia’s secondary is deep this season with Eric Stokes, D.J. Daniel, Tyson Campbell, Richard LeCounte, Lewis Cine and more. Daniel and LeCounte are both seniors, so there could be a large contingent of new faces in the 2021 Georgia secondary. Campbell and Stokes have NFL potential and could leave following their junior season this year.

Ringo will be exciting to watch when he gets healthy.

Saguaro’s Kelee Ringo wins heat of the 200 meters during the 2019 Arizona State Track and Field Championship at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona, May 03, 2019.

Georgia football 2020 5-star CB signee Kelee Ringo has shoulder surgery

Georgia 5-star CB Kelee Ringo had surgery this week to repair a torn Labrum.

Georgia highly-touted freshman defensive back Kelee Ringo will miss some time this season after undergoing shoulder surgery this week to repair a torn labrum, sources told UGAsports.com

Ringo tweeted a prayer hands emoji and “a blessing in disguise” on Thursday afternoon.

Ringo was primed for some quality playing time in 2020. He is rumored to be one of the best defensive backs to ever sign at Georgia, but he will have to sit for a bit.

Labrum surgeries usually take 4-6 months to recover for athletes and guys usually make full recoveries.

Ringo should be back to full strength soon, but, for now, he will be learning the infamous Kirby Smart defense from the sidelines.
