Georgia commit Chaz Chambliss recruiting nation’s No. 1 CB to UGA

Georgia football OLB commit Chaz Chambliss recruits the nation’s No.1 CB in the 2021 class to UGA.

Georgia’s 4-star outside linebacker commit Chaz Chambliss has joined the 2021 commits in their recruiting efforts to secure the top players in the nation.

On Sunday, Chambliss, who is ranked as the No. 18 outside linebacker in the 2021 class, Tweeted at the No. 1 cornerback in the 2021 class, Tony Grimes.

 

Grimes is a 5-star from Virginia Beach, VA, standing at 6-feet and 180 pounds.  He is America’s No. 7 overall player and is the top player in the state of Virginia.  Earlier Sunday, he released his top 4 schools, including Georgia, Ohio State, North Carolina and Texas A&M.

Grimes’ 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions are pretty split right now, experts leaning more heavily towards UNC and UGA.

Georgia currently has 9 hard commits for the 2021 class, giving them the 13th best class in the country as of now, as well as the 4th best class in the SEC.  Landing Grimes would be a huge addition to the Dawgs’ ever-growing list of studs committing to the G.

Georgia football recruiting: Bulldogs make top-eight for nation’s top CB

Georgia football made the cut for 5-star CB Tony Grimes on Wednesday night.

On Wednesday night, Georgia received a commitment from 4-star offensive tackle Micah Morris in the class of 2021.

But the good news did not stop there. Shortly after, the Bulldogs made the cut for 5-star cornerback Tony Grimes, who celebrated his 18th birthday by releasing his top-eight schools on Twitter.

Grimes’ top-eight is as follows:

Georgia, Clemson, Texas A&M, Virginia, Ohio State, Penn State, UNC and Tennessee.

Grimes, out Virginia Beach, ranks as the nation’s No. 1 cornerback in the 2021 class. He is also America’s No. 7 overall player and the top player in the state of Virginia.

The 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback plans on announcing his final decision on December 1st.

Grimes spoke with 247Sports about Georgia:

“(Defensive backs) coach (Charlton) Warren, with that visit I took down there, he shot me some game and I love what he has planned for his players to get better. I sat in a meeting with coach (Kirby) Smart, and coach Smart is running a good program. They play big-time ball. They’re SEC.”

Georgia originally offered Grimes on May 16, 2019.

Grimes also got a birthday shoutout from none other than THE Champ Bailey, a Georgia Bulldog legend.

 

Georgia football is trending for 2021’s top CB Tony Grimes

After a fourth prediction of the nation’s top safety prospect choosing Georgia, the first-ranked cornerback is trending toward the Bulldogs.

It would appear that fellow five-stars Tony Grimes and James Williams want to play their college ball together.

Following a fourth prediction of the nation’s top safety prospect choosing Georgia by the recruiting analysts at 247.com, the first-ranked cornerback recruit is trending toward the Bulldogs as well.

Both out-of-state standouts, Grimes hails from Virginia Beach and was long expected to lean toward in-state Virginia Tech while the Floridian Williams has been predicted to be all Dawg since early August of 2019.

Each player is the highest-ranked at their respective positions and in their respective states. Though Williams has yet to set a commitment date, Grimes has scheduled his for the first morning of December.

If head coach Kirby Smart and defensive backs coach Charlton Warren can land the pair, it will make Georgia’s 2021 recruiting class the second in as many years to include the country’s top cornerback, assuming the enrollment of electrifying 2020 signee Kelee Ringo. Williams would be the highest-ranked safety to pledge to the Dawgs since beloved rising senior Richard LeCounte signed with Georgia in 2017.

And if the two are a package deal, Athens, Georgia wants a delivery.
