Nation’s top JUCO CB commits to Georgia football for 2021

No. 1 JUCO cornerback De’Jahn Warren has committed to Georgia for the 2021 recruiting class. Details here

Great start to the week for Georgia football as De’Jahn Warren, JUCO’s No. 1 cornerback for the class of 2021, commits to the Bulldogs.

That makes 14 commitments so far in the Bulldogs 2021 recruiting class and the first from JUCO.

Warren made his commitment in a video posted through his Twitter account Monday morning.

His top schools were Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee, Maryland, Penn State, Florida State and Georgia.

Warren plays for Lackawanna Community College where he is rated as the No. 2 JUCO prospect overall, the No. 1 JUCO cornerback and the No. 1 player in Maryland, according to 247Sports composite rankings.

That makes three defensive backs added to the Bulldogs’ 2021 class.

David Daniel, Javon Bullard and now Warren are set to join a Georgia secondary that will soon feature even more new faces as guys like Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell and Richard Lecounte inevitably move on to the NFL.

 

 

 

Georgia football 2020 5-star CB signee Kelee Ringo has shoulder surgery

Georgia 5-star CB Kelee Ringo had surgery this week to repair a torn Labrum.

Georgia highly-touted freshman defensive back Kelee Ringo will miss some time this season after undergoing shoulder surgery this week to repair a torn labrum, sources told UGAsports.com

Ringo tweeted a prayer hands emoji and “a blessing in disguise” on Thursday afternoon.

Ringo was primed for some quality playing time in 2020. He is rumored to be one of the best defensive backs to ever sign at Georgia, but he will have to sit for a bit.

Labrum surgeries usually take 4-6 months to recover for athletes and guys usually make full recoveries.

Ringo should be back to full strength soon, but, for now, he will be learning the infamous Kirby Smart defense from the sidelines.

It’s Tuesday, July 28 and today’s play of the day comes from Georgia at Tennessee in 2013.

No. 6 Georgia was a 14-point favorite when they arrived in Knoxville, Tennessee to face the un-ranked Volunteers. However, the Bulldogs faced an uphill battle when they lost four starting players to injury during the game. Running back Keith Marshall, wide receiver Michael Bennett, wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley and punter Collin Barber all suffered game-ending injuries. Still, the Bulldogs, led by the SEC’s all-time leading passer, Aaron Murray, found themselves down one score with only eight seconds left.

Watch what happened next here:

 

The Bulldogs left Rocky Top with a 34-31 win. The Volunteers received the opening overtime possession, but fumbled into the end zone. Georgia’s Marshall Morgan hit the game-winning 42-yard field goal for the win.

Join us as we count down the days until Georgia football!

Georgia football great, No. 47, David Pollack is one of two Georgia players to ever be named A three time all-american. (Herschel Walker)

Pollack, from Snellville, Georgia, played for the Bulldogs from 2001-2004 where he totaled 36 sacks – a school record. Pollack’s accolades included 2002 SEC Player of the Year honors, the 2003 and 2004 Ted Hendricks Award, and, all in 2004, the Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, Lott Trophy and SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Pollack was taken by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 17th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, but his career was cut short by a broken cervical vertebra that he suffered in a game in 2006.

Pollack turned to sports media after his injury and he has since become one of the faces of college football because of his work at ESPN and his involvement in ESPN’s College Gameday.

Twitter reacts as NCAA rules USC transfer JT Daniels to be immediately eligible

Quarterback J.T. Daniels, who recently transferred to the University of Georgia, has been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA.

Ex-USC quarterback J.T. Daniels, who recently transferred to the University of Georgia, has been granted immediate eligibility for this season from the NCAA.

The former Trojan is a five-star from Santa Ana, California. He was ranked as the No. 3-rated quarterback in his loaded recruiting class.

In 2018, Daniels threw for 2,672 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for USC. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury last season. Kedon Slovis was great in his time as the starter in 2019 and was strongly favored to win the starting job entering the 2020 season.

Wake Forest transfer Jamie Newman is projected to start for Georgia next season, but Daniels will compete provide solid depth and talent. Georgia has received a commitment from five-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff in the class of 2021.

Here’s how college football Twitter reacted to the news of Daniels’ eligibility:
