UGA football recruiting update: Dawgs lose, gain commitment

The Georgia Bulldogs have gained a commitment from McEachern defensive tackle Seven Cloud. UGA lost a commitment from 4-star Treyaun Webb.

The Georgia Bulldogs have gained a commitment from defensive tackle Seven Cloud, who is unrated and is a member of the class of 2023. Cloud plays high school football for McEachern in Powder Springs, Georgia.

Seven Cloud is currently only a sophomore in high school, so he has a lot of time to develop. The unrated defensive tackle is 6 feet, 3 inches and weighs 325 pounds. He’s received scholarship offers from Tennessee, Georgia, and East Carolina.

Cloud announced his commitment via his Twitter account:

Treyaun Webb verbally committed to the University of Georgia much earlier than most prospects do. Webb is from Jacksonville, Florida and plays football at Trinity Christian Academy. He’s currently a sophomore in high school and committed to UGA during the fall of his freshman year.

Now, Treyaun Webb has decommitted from the University of Georgia. Webb did include the Georgia Bulldogs in his top six, which he announced via his Twitter account:

It was unrealistic to expect Treyaun Webb to stick with his commitment since he made his decision so early. Georgia is still in the top six for the 2023 four-star athlete along with Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Penn State.

Webb only 188 pounds and is six feet tall. He is a four-star prospect and as the No. 32 best player in the country.

UGA football player card: DL Julian Rochester

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Julian Rochester will bring lots of experience back to UGA’s defensive front in 2020

Julian Rochester (#5):

Class: Senior

Height: 6-5

Weight: 300 pounds

Hometown: Mableton, Georgia

High School: McEachern High School

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Julian Rochester will bring lots of experience back to UGA’s defensive front in 2020. Rochester, who was a senior during 2019, redshirted last season.

Why did Rochester redshirt as a senior? He underwent ACL surgery in the offseason of 2019 and amid his slow recovery, both he and Kirby Smart decided it’d be best for him to redshirt. Georgia’s defensive line didn’t suffer  as a result (zero RB rushing touchdowns allowed) and will return a key veteran lineman in Rochester for the 2020 season.

Rochester appeared in four games in 2019: Tennessee, Florida, Baylor, and LSU. He recorded eight stops in his shortened season.

Rochester played in at least twelve games in every season before 2019. In previous seasons, Rochester averaged nearly 30 tackles per season and contributed at least one sack. He came to Athens as a four-star recruit and is now looking to close at his career with another shot at a championship.
