Georgia football recruiting: Looking at UGA’s 2021 class

Reviewing Georgia football’s 2021 recruiting class led by five-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff and four-star running back Lovasea Carroll.

Georgia has been busy on the recruiting trail during quarantine, as head coach Kirby Smart and his staff have secured two commits in the last 24 hours.

[lawrence-related id=25740,25708]

That brings the total of commits in the Bulldog’s 2021 class to six.

(All player and class ratings via 247Sports.)

5-star QB Bock Vandagriff

The group is headlined by five-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff of Prince Avenue Christian School. 247Sports Composite has the Bogart, Georgia native ranked as the No. 12 prospect nationally and the No. 2 ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2021 class.

4-star OT Micah Morris

Next on the board is recently committed four-star offensive tackle Micah Morris of Camden County. Matt Luke added the 6-foot-4 316 pound blocker as his first o-line commit of the 2021 class. Morris is ranked as the No. 11 offensive tackle.

4-star ATH David Daniel

The next addition for the Bulldogs is David Daniel from Woodstock, Georgia. Daniel is ranked as the No. 4 athlete in the 2021 class and although he is listed as an athlete, Daniel looks to be best slotted at linebacker or safety for the Bulldogs.

4-star RB Lovasea Carroll

The most recent addition to the Georgia backfield is four-star running back Lovasea Carroll out of IMG Academy. He ranks as the No. 8 back in the 2021 class. The 6-foot-1 210 pound bruiser has all the measurables to be work horse for UGA.

4-star SDE Jonathan Jefferson

Jonathan Jefferson from Douglas County is the first defensive commit for the Bulldogs in 2021. The 6-foot-4 255 pound strong side defensive end is ranked as the No.11 end in the country and No. 12 player in the state of Georgia.

3-star DT Marlin Dean

The 6-foot-6 265 pound Elberton, Georgia native joins an always loaded UGA defensive front. Dean is ranked as the No. 25 defensive tackle in the 2021 class.

A key aspect to note is that all commits are from Georgia. Even Carroll, who plays for IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, hails from Warrenton, Georgia.

As 5-star quarterback commit Vandagriff recently said on twitter,

“The best in GA stay in GA.”

Be on the lookout for more commits as the Bulldog’s No. 8 rated class  begins to take shape while coaches reach out to recruits during the  downtime.

And of course this classic from Georgia great Thomas Davis.

Georgia football adds DT Marlin Dean as third commit in 2021

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed their third commitment in the class of 2021 in Elbert County High School defensive tackle Marlin Dean.

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed their third commitment in the class of 2021 in defensive tackle Marlin Dean. Dean is an in-state prospect, who plays high school football at Elbert County High School in Elberton, Georgia.

Dean is a three star recruit. He joins David Daniel and five-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff as the University of Georgia’s third commitment in the class of 2021.

Dean announced his decision via Twitter:

Dean, who is 6-6, 265 pounds has excellent length at defensive tackle. Dean is an All-Region First Team and All-State player at the high school level. Dean will look to add some solid weight before he joins Kirby Smart and Georgia in Athens.

With the class of 2021, Georgia will look to secure elite in-state talent as best as possible. UGA secured just two of the top ten talents in the state of Georgia in the class of 2020. The Dawgs were able to go into Florida and secure two of their top ten players. Ultimately, Georgia landed an uber-talented class of 2020 and will branch out far beyond in-state prospects in 2021.
