The Georgia Bulldogs have added a commitment from defensive tackle recruit Shone Washington. Washington is ranked as a three-star defensive lineman and is a member of the class of 2022.

Washington has received interest from USC, Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida, LSU, and more. Washington originally committed to the in-state LSU Tigers, but later backed off his decision.

Shone Washington announced his commitment to Georgia over Florida via Twitter:

The three-star defensive tackle prospect will be planning to enroll at UGA early and will sign with the Dawgs on Dec. 15. Washington is Kirby Smart and Georgia’s 24th commitment in the class of 2022. UGA has the No. 1-rated class of 2022 in the country.

Georgia has commitments from four defensive linemen in the class of 2022, so they are likely set at the position unless there is a decommitment.

Sedrick Van Pran, a former four-star center and UGA sophomore from the class of 2020, went to Warren Easton High School, which is the same high school as Shone Washington in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Washington sat out the 2019 high school season due to transfer rules. Washington has impressive size at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds.

UGA football player card: OL Sedrick Van Pran

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran comes to the University of Georgia as the top-rated center recruit in the class of 2020

Sedrick Van Pran, Offensive Line (No. 63):

Class: Freshman

Height: 6-4

Weight: 300 pounds

Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana

High School: Warren Easton High School

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran comes to the University of Georgia as the top-rated center recruit in the class of 2020. He played football at Warren Easton High School in Louisiana before coming to Athens.

He will compete with returning starting center Trey Hill for playing time next season. Trey Hill is Georgia’s only returning starting offensive lineman and will be tough to win playing time over. Hill has great experience and stood out as a pass blocker last season.

That being said, Van Pran has lots of talent and should be Georgia’s future at the position. Georgia additionally has Clay Webb at the center position. Webb came to UGA as a touted recruit as well. Georgia is stacked at center moving forward and has excellent depth at the position. It will be interesting to see if Van Pran or Webb is the back-up center during this season.

UGA offensive line coach Matt Luke, the former Ole Miss head coach, lost three players to the 2020 NFL Draft. Luke secured a quality recruiting class along the offensive front including arguably the nation’s top tackle. Van Pran is a key member of Georgia’s class of 2020.

Check out some of Van Pran’s high school highlights. Van Pran consistently overwhelms his competition at the high school level:
