Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia currently have two elite defensive tackle commitments in the class of 2022 in Tyre West and Bear Alexander. How many defensive tackles will Georgia recruit?

Georgia will have to look elsewhere following Nolen’s commitment.

5-star DT Bear Alexander names top two schools

5-star DT Bear Alexander names top two schools: UGA and Texas A&M

The Georgia Bulldogs lost a commitment from five-star defensive tackle Bear Alexander several months ago. Now, the talented defensive tackle has named his top two of Georgia and Texas A&M.

Alexander is a senior at Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. Last season, Ryan High School went 15-0 and won a Texas state title in dominant fashion.

Alexander is a member of the class of 2022 and has offers from major college football programs, including Miami, UNC, Michigan, USC, Auburn and Oregon.

The five-star defensive tackle is reconsidered his recruitment after he visited Georgia and Texas A&M. Alexander visited Miami, but they did not make his top two.

Alexander ranks 30th in his class and sixth among defensive linemen. The 6-foot-3, 325-pound lineman is a top recruiting target for Georgia and Texas A&M.

Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher are in a few recruiting battles at the moment. Fisher won a commitment from former UGA commit Deyon Bouie and is trying to land one from Alexander.

Alexander announced his final two schools via his Twitter account:

Former Georgia football commit Deyon Bouie makes commitment

Four-star athlete Deyon Bouie has committed to the Texas A&M Aggies football program. Bouie was previously committed to Georgia.

Four-star athlete Deyon Bouie has committed to the Texas A&M Aggies football program. Bouie was previously committed to Georgia.

Bouie ranks as the nation’s No. 50 player and the No. 2 athlete in the class of 2022. The Bainbridge, Georgia, native visited Texas A&M over the summer and has made his decision. Bouie plays for Bainbridge High School.

Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher are locked in a few key recruiting battles. Smart and Georgia lost commitments from Bear Alexander and Bouie this summer. Now, Texas A&M and Fisher are Georgia’s biggest competition for the duo.

Georgia will not give up in Bouie’s recruitment, but losing him to a conference foe hurts. Bouie is a top in-state prospect and Kirby Smart hates missing on top players in Georgia.

Georgia is competing with Texas A&M to consistently be the SEC’s top team behind Alabama. The Aggies have the seventh-ranked recruiting class in the country. Georgia has the fifth-ranked class of 2022.
