Williams (6’5, 255 pounds) is rated as the No. 4 defensive tackle and the No. 42 player overall in the 2022 recruiting class. The Hardaway High School prospect recorded 20 tackles for loss and 12 sacks in 2020.

Georgia is predicted to land the Columbus, Ga., prospect, according to the 247sports Crystal Ball predictions but the decision not to commit as scheduled points towards some other players in the mix.

Williams is an All-American Bowl invitee and holds offers from some of the top programs in the country, including ones from Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M and Notre Dame.

Able to shoot hands inside. Has lower body strength to win rep even when off balance. Can scrape and get to second level. Patient in pass pro and has strong initial punch.”

Georgia O-line coach Matt Luke named top-25 recruiter

Rivals recently released their list of the top-25 recruiters and Georgia is represented by offensive line coach Matt Luke. Details here.

Rivals recently released their list of the top 25 recruiters in college football and Georgia is represented by offensive line coach Matt Luke.

After three seasons as head coach at Ole Miss, Luke took over the Bulldogs front in 2019 when Sam Pittman left Athens for the head coaching job at Arkansas.

Luke made his mark on Georgia’s 2021 recruiting class by signing the top-ranked tackle in the class, five-star Amarius Mims, while adding another top-10 tackle, four-star Micah Morris.

Rivals wrote:

“Georgia was unable to pull off a fourth straight recruiting rankings title in 2021, but the Dawgs did sign the nation’s sixth-best class, which featured a ton of top talent. Top-ranked among the prospects headed to Athens is five-star offensive tackle Amarius Mims the No. 4-ranked prospect overall in 2021. Offensive line coach Matt Luke was responsible for delivering Mims for the Bulldogs, and he did not stop there, landing big offensive tackle Micah Morris who is the fourth-highest ranked prospect in this Georgia class, and four-star offensive guard Dylan Fairchild. Three-star offensive guard Jared Wilson rounds out Luke’s offensive line recruiting haul in this 2021 class.”

While Rivals has Georgia’s class rated as the No. 6 class in the country, other sites such as 247Sports have the Dawgs rated at No. 3 in the nation behind Alabama and Ohio State.

Regardless, the Bulldogs 2021 class is full of talent, especially along the offensive line as Luke worked to replace senior starters Trey Hill and Ben Cleveland.

While Wilson, Fairchild and Morris will most likely redshirt, Mims should have an opportunity to compete for either tackle spot as senior Jamaree Salyer, who started every game at left tackle in 2020, is expected to move to guard next season, his natural position.

We will know much more about next year’s lineup when Georgia holds the annual ‘G-day’ spring game, which is scheduled for April 17.

Georgia football makes 4-star DB Terrion Arnolds’ list of top schools

Georgia football has been named in 4-star DB Terrion Arnolds’ list of top schools. Details here

2021 four-star safety Terrion Arnold (John Paul II Catholic High School) from Tallahassee, Florida, listed his top-11 schools on his Twitter account on Friday, which included the University of Georgia.

Arnold wrote:

As most people know I have been taking my recruitment slow and trying to find the best fit for me. With that being said these are the schools I will be continuing with… The journey is just beginning #11

Arnold, an Under Armor All-American, is rated the No. 10 player in Florida, the No. 2 safety and the No. 85 prospect overall in the 2021 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

As one of the elite defensive back prospects for 2021, Arnold has plenty of interest from some of the top programs in the country.

He holds 44 offers, including ones from Alabama, Florida State and Florida – which are all rumored to be in the lead to sign Arnold as of now.

Making Arnold’s list is great for the Bulldogs, especially because of how Georgia’s secondary, while strong, may be losing several key players to the NFL next year – Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell and Richard LeCounte to name a few.

Per his Twitter account, 2021 4-star tight end Brock Bowers has committed to the University of Georgia. From Napa, California, Bowers is rated as the No. 3 tight end, the No. 11 prospect in California and the No. 92 overall recruit in the 2021 …

Per his Twitter account, 2021 4-star tight end Brock Bowers has committed to the University of Georgia.

From Napa, California, Bowers is rated as the No. 3 tight end, the No. 11 prospect in California and the No. 92 overall recruit in the 2021 recruiting class – according to 247Sports Composite.

Bowers’ top eight schools were Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, UCLA, Washington, Notre Dame, Penn State and Georgia.

Although most believed he would sign with Georgia, Bowers commitment is still huge for the Bulldogs, who’s 2021 class still only has 12 names on the board.

The Bulldogs’ 2021 class is currently ranked No. 14 in the country and fifth in the SEC. However, don’t question the talent level of the guys who are already locked- in.

Georgia currently has an average player rating of (.9364), which is higher than the Bulldogs’ average in last year’s No. 1 ranked class of 2020. (0.9296)

 

Georgia football offers scholarship to WR Brandon Inniss

WR Brandon Inniss took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce an offer from Georgia football for the 2023 recruiting class.

There has been yet another reported scholarship offer by the Bulldogs, this time in the class of 2023 to wide receiver Brandon Inniss of University School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Inniss took to Twitter Wednesday evening to announce Georgia’s offer.

In 2018, Inniss played on University School’s Varsity team as an eighth grader and in 2019, he was named a MaxPreps Freshman All-American, MVP of the Prime 239 7v7 Tournament and FBU All-American.

Inniss (6-1, 184) has a verified 40 time of 4.68 and a 4.44 shuttle as a freshman, which only can get better as he grows over the next few years.

Going into his sophomore season in 2020, Inniss already holds offers from Baylor, Florida, Florida State and now Georgia among 18 others.

He does not have any national rankings available at this time due to his age.
