Four 2021 UGA recruits end ranked as 5-stars

The Georgia Bulldogs have the No. 3 recruiting class in the country featuring four five-star recruits.

The Georgia Bulldogs have the No. 3 recruiting class in the country according to 247Sports. Georgia’s class of 2021 is a special group that features four five-star recruits: Amarius Mims, Smael Mondon, Nyland Green and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins.

It touts the 14th-ranked recruit, massive offensive tackle Amarius Mims. Mims is an in-state recruit who played at Bleckley County High School. He has the talent to start right away, but Georgia is returning a lot of offensive line talent under Matt Luke.

Nyland Green, one of Georgia’s most recent additions to the class of 2021, finished the year rated as the No. 18 prospect in the country. Green will have a chance to play immediately because Georgia lost several cornerbacks this offseason.

Defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins is the top player from the state of South Carolina. The five-star recruit check in as the No. 19 player in the nation and the No. 2 defensive tackle. He dominated at Gaffney High School.

Lastly, five-star outside linebacker Smael Mondon is ranked as the No. 20 recruit in the country. Mondon is fast and versatile. The in-state prospect joins a loaded Georgia Bulldogs linebacker core.

Georgia quarterback signee Brock Vandagriff notably missed out on five-star status. He finishes the year rated as the No. 33 prospect and the top ranked four-star recruit. Most other services have Vandagriff ranked as a five-star, so this will give him motivation.

UGA football in top two for RB Amari Daniels

Amari Daniels, a class of 2021 running back, is planning on committing to either the University of Georgia or Texas A&M.

The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to add a talented running back to their class of 2021. Will three-star running back Amari Daniels be the next great University of Georgia running back?

Daniels is five-foot-eight and weighs in at 194 pounds. Though he’s shorter, that’s often beneficial to running backs, who become harder to find behind the line of scrimmage. Daniels is from Miami, Florida and plays high school football at Miami Central High School. Daniels is a versatile back.

A long line of incredible running backs have played at Miami Central including: Willis McGahee, Devonta Freeman, and Dalvin Cook. Daniels will have a chance to be the next great one out of Miami Central.

Where will Daniels go? He recently released his top two schools and is planning to make a commitment soon:

The trend of Florida schools struggling to land their elite in-state talent looks to be continuing.

Daniels has Texas A&M, and Georgia in his top two schools. We’ll keep you updated on his recruitment. Daniels removed Penn State and Nebraska from his previous top school.

Nations No. 1 PF, Georgia native Jabari Smith to announce commitment Friday

Jabari Smith of Tyrone, Georgia is set to make his college decision this Friday, choosing between UGA, Auburn, LSU, UNC and Georgia Tech.

5-star power forward Jabari Smith is set to commit between Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Georgia Tech and UNC on Friday, according to reports by TiptonEdits and later  confirmed by ESPN.

Smith is rated as the No. 1 power forward and the No. 1 recruit in the state of Georgia in the 2021 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean has experience in keeping star basketball players in-state and signing them to play for the Bulldogs.

Possible 2020 NBA No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards did just that for the Bulldogs last year when the Atlanta native signed with Georgia and was named SEC Freshman of the Year in his one season with the Bulldogs.

247Sports currently predicts Smith will sign with Auburn.

Check back here Friday for updates on Smith’s commitment.

UGA football target 4-star WR Jayden Thomas sets commitment date

The Georgia Bulldogs made the top five schools for Pace Academy WR Jayden Thomas

The Georgia Bulldogs made the top five schools for Jayden Thomas. 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. Now, Thomas is ready to make his commitment.

Pace Academy is a bit of a University of Georgia pipeline high school. Georgia has recruited talented players Andrew Thomas and Jamaree Salyer from Pace Academy.

Jayden Thomas announced his commitment date via Twitter:

In case you can’t see the tweet, Thomas will be committing Oct. 2. That is a special day for him because it is his grandma’s birthday.

At 6 feet, 1 inch, 200 pounds, Thomas has solid size. He will decide between UGA, Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan and Arkansas.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have 15 commitments in the class of 2021. Thomas would be a great addition to the class. Can UGA persuade 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. Georgia has two wide receiver commitments: Adonai Mitchell, who flipped from Ole Miss, and Jackson Meeks.

Thomas frequently works out with Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver legend Terrence Edwards.

Georgia Bulldogs WR target Agiye Hall makes commitment

The Georgia Bulldogs made the top four of elite wide receiver Agiye Hall, but it wasn’t enough. Hall committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Georgia Bulldogs made the top four of elite wide receiver Agiye Hall, but it wasn’t enough to secure his commitment. Hall committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Hall is a four-star prospect who plays high school football at IMG Academy. He has good size at 6’3″.

Agiye Hall, who is a member of the class of 2021, committed to Alabama via Twitter:

Hall announced his top four schools: Georgia, Arizona State, LSU, and Alabama via Twitter in March. Hall re-opened his recruitment to all schools, but rolled with the Crimson Tide in the end.

Agiye Hall trains and plays at an elite high school football program in IMG Academy. He is a solid route runner. Look at this route to demonstrate his abilities:

Hall doesn’t tip his route very much and gains lots of separation in this case. He should be a playmaker for Alabama fro years to come. He’s a great commitment for Nick Saban and the always loaded Crimson Tide.

Despite a dead period in recruiting, players are still making commitments. Kirby Smart and Georgia have recently seen a couple of commits of their own. Georgia additionally has several other wide receiver targets in the class of 2021.
