4-star DT and Georgia recruiting target sets new commitment date

4-star DT Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, a Georgia football recruiting target, set a new commitment date.

Last week, 2021 four-star defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins released a top six of Georgia, North Carolina, Florida State, South Carolina, Penn State and Tennessee.

Prior to revealing his final group, the 6-foot-5-inch, 298-pounder tweeted that he would announce his decision on Sunday, May 17.

Shortly after, he decided he needed some more time to make this life-changing decision.

Ingram-Dawkins now has a new commitment date of June 26, which is his birthday.

“I’m committing June 26th, on my birthday,” Ingram-Dawkins said on Instagram Live.

247Sports has Ingram-Dawkins as the nation’s No. 17 ranked defensive tackle and as the top player in the state of South Carolina.

Per the composite rankings, he is considered the nation’s 408th overall player.

Per 247Sports, South Carolina is viewed as the leader for Ingram-Dawkins, with Georgia close behind.

But Ingram-Dawkins said he does not pay much attention to the crystal ball on his 247Sports player profile.

The crystal ball is their way of  projecting where a recruit will land by having  a few recruiting analysts make predictions for specific players.

Georgia offered him in January and got him on campus in early-March.

Georgia, several SEC schools among top six for 4-star lineman

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for 4-star in-state lineman Dylan Fairchild. Fairchild plays at West Forsyth High School.

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for in-state lineman Dylan Fairchild.  Fairchild is a four-star offensive line recruit, who is considered both an offensive tackle and an offensive guard.

Fairchild plays his high school football at West Forsyth in Cumming, Georgia. He’s a key recruit in the class of 2021 and is considered one of the best linemen in the state.

Fairchild released his top schools via Twitter:

Fairchild puts LSU, South Carolina, Georgia, Penn State, Tennessee, and Auburn in his top schools. At 6-5 and 290 pounds, Fairchild has the size to compete in the SEC, but wouldn’t be the biggest lineman at UGA.

The Georgia Bulldogs offered Fairchild a scholarship back in March:

 

Fairchild would be a great addition to UGA’s class of 2021. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs are still building up their class of 2021.

Where is Fairchild going to play college football? He’s projected to join the Dawgs! Offensive line coach Matt Luke is an elite recruiter and won’t let many good in-state lineman leave.

It will be tough to top the elite class of 2020. Georgia currently has the 17th ranked class according to 247sports. The Dawgs have seven commitments in the class of 2021.

Georgia football offers huge 5-star OT

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Nolan Rucci, a massive five-star offensive tackle in the class of 2021

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Nolan Rucci, a massive five-star offensive tackle in the class of 2021. Rucci plays for Warwick High School in Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Kirby Smart, Matt Luke, and the University of Georgia are still looking for their first offensive line commitment in the class of 2021. Recruiting is currently in a dead period, but this is an important time of the year. The Dawgs have secured three commitments in the class of 2021 and are looking to beef up the class once the dead period ends.

Nolan Rucci is excited to receive an offer from UGA:

Rucci’s recruitment is linked heavily to the Clemson Tigers, who he visited a couple of weeks ago. In-state powerhouse Penn State won’t go down without a fight for the five-star lineman.

Rucci, like most five-stars, is receiving massive amounts of recruiting interest throughout the county. Rucci himself is quite massive at six-foot, eight-inches tall. Rucci can afford to pack some pounds on to his 290 pound  weight, but he’s got the ideal length for an offensive lineman. It’ll be tough for defensive ends to get around his massive frame.

We’ll continue to update you throughout his recruiting process.

Four-star tight end Theo Johnson makes commitment

Theo Johnson is a four-star TE, & is the top rated player in Canada. He played for Holy Names High School and is from Windsor, Ontario.

Theo Johnson has committed to play college football at Penn State University. Johnson is a four-star tight end, and is the top rated player in Canada. Johnson played for Holy Names High School and is from Windsor, Ontario. He’s in the class of 2020.

The four-star announced his commitment today:

 

Johnson’s top four schools were: Michigan, Iowa, Penn State and Georgia. Penn State was favored to land the Canadian, but Georgia was considered his second most likely destination. Georgia needs to land a talented tight end in the class of 2020.

Georgia can use another tight end with the departures of senior Charlie Woerner and graduate transfer Eli Wolf. Georgia will have John FitzPatrick, a former four-star, next season, but he’s seldom played this season. The Dawgs could still use more depth and play-making at the position.

Johnson has incredible size at 6’6″, 240 pounds and impressive athleticism. He has great vertical leap skills. He’ll be playing in the 2020 Under Armor All-American before he heads to Penn State.

Best of luck to Johnson in school at Penn State. He’ll be much closer to home. Georgia will look to add a five-star tight end out of Nevada, who has been compared to Zion Williamson.
