Georgia football: Two targets to watch on NSD

Two targets Georgia football fans should watch as we approach National Signing Day.

In addition to Georgia signing all of its remaining commitments during tomorrow’s National Signing Day, the Bulldogs could also look to bring in a few more players to a class that already ranks No. 1 in the nation.

For Kirby Smart, the signing of these final remaining commits would be a win on its own, and you can view tomorrow’s schedule here — but being able to add one or two more players would add some excitement to a day that’s lost some luster since the addition of December’s Early Signing Day.

The two players for Georgia fans to keep an eye on tomorrow are 3-stars Daran Branch and Cameron Kinnie.

Branch is a 3-star cornerback out of Amite, Louisiana who ranks as the nation’s No. 672 overall player and is currently committed to play at Ole Miss.

Georgia is coming for Branch, though. He took an official visit to Georgia on January 24th and then visited Ole Miss last weekend.

Georgia offered the 6-2, 180 pound cornerback at the end of December and have been gunning for the Rebel commit hard, Branch told 247.

“I feel like I bring everything the coaches need to the table,” said Branch. “I can play any position. I’m very versatile. I’m a hybrid DB. I’m not just a corner. I’m not just a safety. I can go and play anything. I can play linebacker at the end if they want me to.”

Kinnie is a 3-star defensive tackle who comes from Suwanee, Georgia. He can play both offensive and defensive line.

Kinnie is a player who excels in the classroom and on the football field for his Collins Hill High School team.

“I am a hard-working, high-motor, cerebral guy who can see a lot so that is why I play center,” Kinnie told 247. “I am the guy you can trust with the ball in your hands on every play. I can read defenses, in after playing center for only one year. I am getting better, I am hungry, and I am humble.”

Georgia football: National Signing Day schedule

A look at Georgia football’s schedule for National Signing Day.

Georgia enters Wednesday’s National Signing Day with the nation’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class and will look to hold on to that top spot throughout the day.

With the Dawgs making a big splash during December’s Early Signing Day, there should not be a terrible amount of excitement taking place tomorrow in Athens, but the signing of a few commitments will be something to keep an eye on.

The biggest storyline of tomorrow for Georgia will be what 5-star offensive tackle Broderick Jones does. Jones has been committed to Georgia for a long time and Auburn was considered the Bulldogs’ top threat to flip him. However, Jones passed on a chance to visit Auburn last weekend, so things are looking good for Georgia in that regard.

Here is tomorrow’s schedule for National Signing Day:

Georgia commitments who will be signing:

5-star OT Broderick Jones: 10am

4-star OC Sedrick Van Pran: 11am

3-star WR Ladd McConkey: 11am

4-star RB Daijun Edwards: 1pm

Georgia football picks up commitment from in-state WR

The Georgia Bulldogs’ reloading offense has secured the commitment of a new weapon.

Following a small regime change, the Georgia Bulldogs’ reloading offense has secured the commitment of a new weapon.

Three-star wide receiver Ladd McConkey announced his pledge to suit up in red and black three days in advance of Wednesday’s National Signing Day.

The speedster out of Chatsworth’s North Murray High School projects as a potential return specialist in addition to being a sure-handed slot receiver. He runs a forty-yard dash in 4.56 seconds and exhibits footwork so impressive that he breaks opposing defenders’ ankles using his own.

Despite offers from Army, Vanderbilt, and multiple in-state programs playing outside Power Five conferences, McConkey pledged to become a Georgia Bulldog after an official visit to Athens this weekend.

The Alabama Crimson Tide had a fantastic National Signing Day. The Tide started strong early morning, and never backed down. Even in the afternoon, the Crimson Tide continued to rack in some BIG name commitments.

By the end of Wednesday, the Tide finished NSD with the No. 2 recruiting class, according to 247 Sports Composite. Here’s how the Tide wrapped up the day.

RB, Jase McClellan (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Aledo High School in Aledo, Texas.

McClellan is the No. 6 prospect in Texas, No. 8 running back in the nation and top 50 prospect in the nation.

McClellan was one of the biggest flips of the day. He had been a strong commit to Oklahoma, but ended up flipping to Alabama. He’s speed and skill will create a dynamic force in the RB position. With three RB commitments in the 2020 class, Alabama’s offense isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

WR, Traeshon Holden (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Narbonne High School in Harbor City, California.

Holden is a top 20 prospect in California, top 40 wide receiver in the nation and, top 200 prospect in the nation.

Holden is a fantastic wide receiver that will for sure be a threat for the Tide. He has tremendous footwork and field vision.

All in all, it was a FANTASTIC Signing Day for the Crimson Tide.

Who else is excited to see what 2020 holds?!

Roll Tide!

This is an evening update of Alabama’s 2020 football class.

We provided a morning and lunch update  earlier today when the commitments began early this morning.

TE, Caden Clark (247 Sports Composite ranking: 3-star)

High School: Archbishop Hoban in Akron, Ohio.

Clark is the top 15 prospect in the state of Ohio, top 20 tight end in the nation, and is the top 500 prospect in the nation overall.

Clark will add some great depth in the TE position for the Crimson Tide.

ATH, Kristian Story (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Lanett High School in Lanett, Alabama.

Story is a top 10 prospect in Alabama and is just outside of the top 200 nationally.

Story brings so much talent and speed to any position he ends up playing for the Crimson Tide.

DL, Timothy Smith (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Sebastian River High School in Sebastian, Florida.

Smith is a top 10 defensive tackle in the nation, top 20 prospect in Florida and top 100 in the nation.

Smith is a very strong and powerful player who will add much needed depth and strength to the defensive line.

S, Malachi Moore (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Hewitt-Trussville High School in Trussville, Alabama.

Moore is a top 10 prospect in the state of Alabama, top 20 safety in the nation, and top 200 prospect in the nation.

Moore is a very important addition to Alabama’s secondary with the departure of several starters.

DE/OLB, Will Anderson (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Dutchtown High School in Hampton, Georgia.

Anderson is a top 10 prospect in Georgia and top 10 defensive end in the nation.

Anderson will bring some needed speed and pass rushing ability to a defensive that struggled to make big defensive stops this season.

QB, Bryce Young (247 Sports Composite ranking: 5-star)

High School: Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California.

Young is the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the nation, No. 2 Californian prospect at any position and No. 6 prospect in the nation at any position.

Young is an exciting addition to the Alabama offense. He’s one of the most talented dual threat quarterbacks to ever join the program.

CB, Ronald Williams (247 Sports Composite ranking: 4-star)

High School: Hutchinson C.C. in Hutchinson, Kansas.

Williams is a top 5 corner in junior college, and top 15 junior college prospect in the nation.

Williams bring experience to a secondary that can really use an explosive guy like Williams.
