UGA football target, 2021 No. 2 safety Terrion Arnold to make announcement on Tuesday

Four-star Tallahassee, Florida safety Terrion Arnold, a Georgia football target, is set to make an announcement on Tuesday. Details here.

Four-star safety Terrion Arnold (John Paul II Catholic High School) from Tallahassee, Florida, listed his top-11 schools, which included Georgia football, in late August.

Now, according to his Twitter account, he is set to make an announcement at noon on Tuesday, December 1.

The No. 2 rated safety in the 2021 recruiting class (247Sports) tweeted this on Monday morning.

Arnold’s top-11 schools are Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee, Oklahoma, LSU, Texas A&M, Southern California and Georgia Tech.

Florida, Florida State and Alabama have the hot hand with Arnold right now, according to the 247Sports Crystall Ball predictions, but Georgia coach Kirby Smart is well-versed in the art of flipping out of state recruits, especially from Florida (George Pickens).

Check back with us at UGAWire.com for updates on Arnold as he makes his announcement Tuesday.

 

 

UGA, Bama offer scholarship to 4-star athlete in same week

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have both offered scholarships to Faith Academy athelete Shemar James.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have both offered scholarships to elite high school football recruiting Shemar James. James is a four-star athlete, who plays football for Faith Academy in Mobile, Alabama.

Shemar James is a member of the class of 2022, so he’s a junior in high school. James is six-foot-three and weighs 200 pounds.

The Faith Academy athlete plays primarily wide receiver and defensive end. His team tries to get him the ball in space anyway they can, so sometimes he lines up in the backfield. It is rare to see a wide receiver who plays defensive end, but James has the size to do it at the high school level.

Shemar James projects to be a possession receiver at the college level. He can track the ball well and ripped off some explosive plays after the catch last season. James additionally has the capability to be a great blocking wide receiver. Both Kirby Smart and Nick Saban love wide receivers who are willing to get in the mix and block.

James received offers from both Georgia and Alabama to cap off a big week for him. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are always among the best recruiting programs in all of college football. Congratulations to the young man.

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

5-star OT Amarius Mims makes commitment to UGA football

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims has committed to the University of Georgia football program.

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims is one of the top players in the class of 2021. Now, Mims has committed to the University of Georgia. Matt Luke and Kirby Smart helped secure a commitment from the elite recruit.

Mims is six-foot-eight tall and weighs 315 pounds. He has an impressive size for an offensive tackle and has the frame to play in the NFL. He plays high school football at Bleckley County in Cochran, Georgia.

Georgia has now secured a commitment from the top tackle in the class of 2020 and 2021. Matt Luke and the University of Georgia would love to continue their offensive line recruiting dominance for years to come.

Mims chose UGA over Alabama, Oklahoma, FSU, Tennessee, and Auburn. He’s expected to compete for playing time right away at Georgia.

Kirby Smart has rejuvenated Georgia’s offensive front. Georgia is physical in the trenches on both sides of the ball and that will continue for years to come.

Amarius Mims and high school offensive line recruits have to be impressed with UGA’s offensive line in recent years. Two Georgia Bulldog offensive linemen (Isaiah Wilson and Andrew Thomas) were picked in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

5-star Georgia OT ready to make commitment

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims is ready to make his commitment. Will he pick UGA, Bama, or Tennessee?

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims released his top schools earlier in the year.  Mims is one of the top players in the class of 2021 and would be an excellent addition to Georgia’s recruiting class. Now, Mims is ready to make his commitment, which is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. today (Oct. 14).

Mims is six-foot-eight tall and weighs 315 pounds. He has an ideal size for an offensive tackle. The five-star plays high school football at Bleckley County and is from Cochran, Georgia.

Kirby Smart and the Dawgs would love for him to come to Athens. Georgia secured a commitment from the top tackle in the class of 2020. Matt Luke and the University of Georgia would love to continue their offensive line recruiting dominance.

Mims named his top six schools via his Twitter account:

Mims will decide between UGA, Alabama, Oklahoma, FSU, Tennessee and Auburn.

Will Mims join Georgia in the class of 2021? He’s projected to join the Dawgs at the moment. We’ll update you on his decision.

Georgia football offers middle school DT Elijah Griffin

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a football scholarship to talented recruit Elijah Griffin

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a football scholarship to talented recruit Elijah Griffin. Griffin is a member of the class of 2025, so he’s only an eighth grader.

Griffin already has impressive size and strength for an eighth grader. He’s 6-foot-5 and weights 260 pounds.

Griffin currently plays football for Savannah Christian Preparatory School. He’s only 13 years old right now. Griffin should have a bright future ahead.

Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia aren’t afraid to offer young players very early in their football careers. Griffin has size and speed that aren’t fair at the middle school level. Griffin has some dominant tape on Hudl.

Griffin will continue to grow and should become a top recruit in his class. It is pretty rare for UGA to offer any player a scholarship this early. We’ll keep an eye on Griffin as he adjusts to the high school level in 2021.

Elijah Griffin announced his scholarship offer via his Twitter account. Griffin states that it is his first college offer.

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims has set his top-six schools.  Mims is one of the top players in the class of 2021 and would be an excellent addition to Georgia’s recruiting class.

Mims is 6 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 315 pounds. He has an ideal size for an offensive tackle. He plays high school football at Bleckley County and is from Cochran, Georgia.

Kirby Smart and the Dawgs would love for him to come to Athens. Georgia secured a commitment from the top tackle in the class of 2020. The University of Georgia will look to continue their offensive line recruiting dominance.

Mims named his top six colleges via his Twitter account:

Mims is considering UGA, Alabama, Oklahoma, FSU, Tennessee and Auburn. He recently set his commitment date.

Mims’ recruitment will have some twists and turns as it gets closer to signing day. He would be an elite building block for Georgia’s talented class. Georgia has eleven commitments in the class of 2021, but that may change soon. UGA coach Kirby Smart and his staff are focusing heavily on the class of 2021 despite the recruiting dead period.

Will Mims join Georgia in the class of 2021? He’s projected to join the Dawgs at the moment.

UGA football among top schools for elite JUCO prospect

The University of Georgia is in De’Jahn Warren’s top schools. Warren is strongly considering Georgia, Penn State, and many other schools.

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart are in yet another elite recruit’s top schools. The University of Georgia is in De’Jahn Warren’s top schools. Warren is a junior college prospect, who will enter the major college football world as a member of the junior class.

Warren plays for Lackawanna Community College in Scranton, Pennsylvania. 247Sports rates Warren as a three-star prospect and as the third highest rated JUCO prospect in the class of 2021.

Warren, a talented cornerback, released his top seven schools via Twitter:

Among Warren’s top suitors are: Penn State, Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Florida State, and Oklahoma. Warren has a bunch of elite programs to pick from. Will he stay near his community college and go to Penn State or join one of three programs in the SEC?

We’ll keep you updated during his recruitment. He has set his commitment date. Top-rated JUCO prospects are often ready to plug and play, so Warren should make an impact at one of these colleges in 2021. Georgia found lots of success and experience in former JUCO cornerback DJ Daniel this past season.

5-star Georgia OT names commitment date

Five-star OT Amarius Mims has set his commitment date. He’s considering Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and more.

Five-star offensive tackle recruit Amarius Mims has set his final top schools.  Mims is one of the top players in the class of 2021 and would be an excellent addition to Georgia’s class.

Mims is  six-feet, eight-inches tall and weighs 315 pounds. He has an ideal frame for an offensive tackle. He plays high school football at Bleckley County and is from Cochran, Georgia. He’s considered the top offensive lineman in Georgia.

Mims is considering several SEC schools. Mims included UGA in his original top eight, but he has deleted that tweet. Now, it appears Mims is working with a top ten of UGA, Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma, FSU, Clemson, LSU, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn.

He set his commitment date via Twitter:

Mims would be an elite recruit for Georgia’s class of 2021. Georgia has nine commitments in the class of 2021, but that may change soon. UGA coach Kirby Smart and his staff will focus heavily on the class of 2021 following the end of the recruiting dead period.

Will Mims join UGA in the class of 2021? He’s projected to join the Dawgs at the moment according to recruiting experts. Mims recruitment is tough to predict though. Don’t rule out Tennessee, Auburn, and Alabama.

He is rated as their top JUCO prospect in the class of 2021.

Now, Warren has set his commitment date of December 14th. He will be taking an official visit to Georgia three days before he commits. That’s a good sign for Bulldog fans.

Warren, a talented cornerback, released his top schools via Twitter a month ago:

Among Warren’s top schools: Oregon, Penn State, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Nebraska, West Virginia, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. Warren has a lot of elite programs to choose from. Will he stay near his community college and go to Penn State, who is favored to land him?

We’ll keep you updated on the progress of his recruitment. Top-rated JUCO prospects are often ready to plug and play, so Warren should make an impact at one of these colleges in 2021. Warren could be the next DJ Daniel if he come to Athens.

Georgia football offers Marietta freshman CB Jace Arnold

Georgia football has offered class of 2023 CB Jace Arnold out of Marietta High School in Marietta, GA.

Kirby Smart and Georgia football have offered class of 2023 cornerback Jace Arnold out of Marietta High School in Georgia.

Arnold’s national rankings are not available for his class yet, but he is a young, raw prospect, standing at 5-foot-10, 168 pounds.

Arnold is going into his sophomore year at Marietta and still has a lot of time to develop before making his decision of where to play.  He has offers from SEC divisional rivals Florida and Tennessee on top of the offer from the Dawgs he announced on Twitter Thursday.

Arnold was teammates with Tennessee freshman quarterback Harrison Bailey on its 7A Georgia state championship team in 2019. Georgia outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari also attended Marietta, but was not teammates with Arnold.
