More elite recruits visit UGA football

The Georgia Bulldogs continue to host elite recruits like Jalon Walker from across the country this summer

The Georgia Bulldogs continue to host elite recruits from across the country this summer. June has been a busy month for Kirby Smart and company, but the Dawgs don’t have any commitments to show for it yet.

Georgia has actually lost a couple of key commitments this month. Despite this, there’s still immense excitement and optimism this offseason because of high quality recruits like Jalon Walker that have visited Athens.

Here are a few of the most recent top high school recruits to visit the University of Georgia:

Georgia offers elite defensive end recruit Samuel Okunlola

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to three-star defensive end prospect Samuel Okunlola,

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to three-star defensive end prospect Samuel Okunlola, who is a member of the class of 2022. Okunlola plays high school football for Thayer Academy in Brockton, Massachusetts.

The three-star defensive end weighs 225 pounds and is six-foot-four. He’s the No. 3 ranked prospect in Massachusetts in the class of 2022.

Okunlola has over 40 college football scholarship offers including Clemson, FSU, Maryland, Michigan, and Oregon.

The Thayer Academy athlete also plays basketball. Okunlola is explosive and does an excellent job of setting the edge in run defense. On tape, he is great at getting off blocks and shows good bend as a pass rusher. Okunlola creates mismatches in the passing game as a tight end.

At Georgia, the three-star prospect would likely play outside linebacker in Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning’s 3-4 defensive scheme.

Samuel Okunlola announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via his Twitter account:

Here’s an example of Okunlola’s athleticism on the basketball court:
