Four-star class of 2021 defensive end Elijah Jeudy recently named his top five schools. Now he’s ready to commit. Jeudy plays football for Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Will Jeudy be the next Georgia Bulldog from Philly? D’Andre Swift, who is projected as a first-round pick, and senior defensive back Mark Webb are two of the most recent Dawgs to come from the City of Brotherly Love.

Jeudy put the Georgia Bulldogs in his top five and is announcing his commitment April 19th at 4PM:

Jeudy also puts Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oregon and LSU in his top five. Jeudy clearly has no issue leaving Pennsylvania, and will likely join the SEC (4/5 of his top schools).

Georgia recently landed another commitment in the class of 2021. The class is shaping up despite the current dead period in recruiting.

Kirby Smart and Georgia are recruiting across the nation better than ever. The Bulldogs still know how to land key in-state guys, but UGA is expanding its recruiting geography and is picking among the country’s best talent.

Okoli has received a lot of interest among Big 12 schools and has SEC offers from Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Georgia, and Vanderbilt. Where will Okoli play in college? He’s projected by 247 to play for the Oklahoma Sooners.

Okoli is excited to receive his most recent offer from the Georgia Bulldogs:

Okoli is a 6-5, 255 pound defensive end. He has solid size and would be a good fit as a 3-4 defensive end in Athens. He would need to add to his frame some to compete along the defensive front in the SEC. Fortunately, he has plenty of time to do that.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have been offering numerous scholarships to recruits in the current dead period. We’ll keep you updated throughout Okoli’s recruitment.

Georgia football, 3 SEC teams in 4-star WR’s top five

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the top five for four-star wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the top five for four-star wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. Mitchell is a 2021 recruit, who plays high school football for Cane Ridge in Antioch, Tennessee.

Despite being a talented in-state prospect, Mitchell doesn’t appear to have any plans to attend the University of Tennessee. The Volunteers failed to make Mitchell’s top five. Mitchell released his top-five via Twitter:

Mitchell’s top five includes: UGA, Auburn, Ole Miss, LSU, and Virginia Tech. Mitchell is 6-3 and weighs 190 pounds. He’ll look to add some weight to his frame before playing in either the SEC or ACC.

Mitchell received an offer from Virginia Tech back in February. What’s next for him? Will he join Georgia’s class of 2021? We’ll keep you updated throughout his recruitment.

Kirby Smart and Georgia currently have four commits in the class of 2021 and are looking to add more. Unfortunately with no G-Day and a dead period in recruiting, there’s not much coaches can do at the moment.

Georgia cracks top eight for 4-star DT

The Georgia Bulldogs, Auburn Tigers and three other SEC schools have made the top eight schools for 2021 defensive tackle Katron Evans.

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the top eight schools for 2021 defensive tackle Katron Evans. Evans has an impressive frame at 6-4, 320 lbs. He plays high school football at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland.

Evan is a four-star recruit and a top ten defensive tackle in his class. He released his top schools via Twitter:

Katron Evans places Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, USC, TCU, and Arizona State in his top eight. Evans was most recently received an offer from the Auburn Tigers. He has a long time to make his decision and can’t currently visit any schools due to the recruiting dead period.

Interestingly, Evans did not put many schools close to his hometown in his top eight. We’ll keep you updated throughout his recruitment.

Kirby Smart and UGA have four commitments in the class of 2021. The Dawgs already have one defensive tackle commit in Marlin Dean, an in-state three star.

Georgia, Florida among WR Daquayvious Sorey’s top schools

The Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators made Graceville wide receiver Daquayvious Sorey’s top ten.

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs recently offered a scholarship to wide receiver Daquayvious Sorey. Sorey is a member of the class of 2023 and plays at Graceville High School in Graceville, Florida. Graceville is in the panhandle of Florida and is very close to the border of Georgia and Florida.

Athens wouldn’t be a far trip for Sorey or his talented cousin Xavian Sorey. Xavian, a four-star 2021 linebacker, also put Georgia among his top schools. The duo would like to play together again in college.

Sorey has received recruiting interest so far from Alabama, Florida State, Auburn,  Florida, Tennessee and more. Sorey was excited to receive his offer from UGA, but is entertaining his options at this point. That being said, Sorey released his top ten schools via Twitter:

Florida, Georgia, Florida State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, and Southern Mississippi make up Sorey’s first top ten. He’ll have plenty of time to update it as his recruitment changes. For now, it is quite SEC heavy and focuses on schools with close proximity to Graceville, Florida.

Sorey has visited Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators, who are close to his hometown:

Sorey, who is a freshman, will have an abundance of time to decide his recruiting future. Will it be in Athens? Gainesville? Tuscaloosa?

Sorey started for varsity as an eighth grader. He shows impressive ability to track the ball in his highlights. He has plenty of time to improve his game. He’s 6 feet tall and weighs 170 pounds.

It’ll be intriguing to see how recruitment for Sorey plays out, since there is an abundance of time for teams to add their names to the mix. Any freshman receiving so much early interest from major programs is bound to end up as a four- or five-star recruit.

Georgia among top schools for second-rated JUCO prospect

The University of Georgia, Penn State, Tennessee and more have made the top schools for 2nd rated JUCO recruit De’Jahn Warren.

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart are in yet another elite recruit’s top schools. The University of Georgia has made De’Jahn Warren’s top schools. Warren is a junior college prospect, who will enter the major college football world as a member of the junior class.

Warren plays for Lackawanna Community College in Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, fans of The Office TV show, it’s that Scranton). 247Sports rates Warren as a three-star prospect and is the second highest rated JUCO prospect in the class of 2021.

Warren, a talented cornerback, released his top schools via Twitter:

Among Warren’s top suitors are: Oregon, Penn State, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Nebraska, West Virginia, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. Warren has a lot of elite programs to choose from. Will he stay near his community college and go to Penn State or join one of many programs in the SEC?

We’ll keep you updated on the progress of his recruitment. Top-rated JUCO prospects are often ready to plug and play, so Warren should make an impact at one of these colleges in 2021.

UGA football among four-star WR Jayden Thomas’s top schools

The Georgia Bulldogs have made Jayden Thomas’s top schools. Thomas is a four-star receiver who plays high school football at Pace Academy.

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the list of Jayden Thomas’s top schools. Thomas is a four-star receiver who plays high school football at Pace Academy. He’s from Atlanta, Georgia and is a member of the class of 2021.

Thomas announced his top eleven via Twitter:

At 6-1, 200 pounds Thomas has solid size. He named UGA, Ohio State, Arkansas, UNC, Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Alabama, and Notre Dame in his top eleven. Thomas plans to focus on these schools moving forward.

Kirby Smart and Georgia currently have two commitments in the class of 2021 and are focusing on the class of 2021 almost entirely moving forward. Thomas would be a nice addition to the class. Can UGA convince the four-star to stay in the Peach State?

Kirby Smart and the Dawgs have secured three straight elite recruiting classes. Look for the class of 2021 to be no different.
