The Georgia Bulldogs are hoping to keep a commitment from elite running back recruit Jordan James. Kirby Smart and Georgia are among the top three schools for James.

James, a four-star class of 2022 recruit, will sign on Feb. 2, 2022 at noon. He will decide between UGA, Florida, and Oregon. The Ducks have made a strong run to secure a commitment from James.

James, who committed to Georgia last March, plays high school football for Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. James is rated as the No. 192 recruit in the nation and the No. 16 running back.

Jordan James is expected to flip his commitment from Georgia to Oregon. Former Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning may get a rare recruiting win over Kirby Smart. Georgia will have a shot at revenge, if James flips, in the 2022 season opener against Oregon in Atlanta.

Georgia offered three-star running back Andrew Paul late in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Paul could be the next man up if Jordan James flips to Oregon. The Dawgs already have a solid running back class with four-star Branson Robinson.

Notre Dame Offers Running Back Recruit Jordan Bryant-James

The first thing to know about the above headline is that no, this has nothing to do with the constant GOAT discussion in the NBA.

The first thing to know about the above headline is that no, this has nothing to do with the constant GOAT discussion in the NBA. It just so happens that Notre Dame running back target Jordan Bryant-James has all three names that come up in that. The Murfreesboro, Tennessee, native from Oakland High School actually has a future in football, and the Irish want him. Naturally, Lance Taylor is looking out for when Kyren Williams eventually moves on:

So far, 14 schools have expressed interest in and given offers to Bryant-James. Both Tennessee and Vanderbilt in his home state are among them. The other schools in the mix include Missouri, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Nebraska. When the Daily News Journal, your hometown newspaper, names you its all-area player of the year, you’re bound to attract some prominent schools. While we don’t know if he’ll take his talents to South Bend, at least he’s appreciative of that opportunity.
