UGA football offers Michigan DL commit

UGA football offers three-star Michigan commitment Manuel Beigel

The Georgia Bulldogs recently offered scholarships to a couple of defensive linemen in the class of 2024. Georgia and offensive line coach Stacy Searles offered a scholarship to three-star Michigan commitment Manuel Beigel.

Beigel plays high school football for Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. Beigel is ranked as the No. 662 recruit in the class of 2024. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive lineman is the No. 69 player at his position and the seventh-ranked recruit in Connecticut, per 247Sports.

It is intriguing that Georgia offensive line coach Stacy Searles offered Beigel. Perhaps the Bulldogs consider Beigel more of an offensive line recruit.

Beigel came to the United States from Germany. He committed to Michigan in the summer of 2022.

The Choate Rosemary Hall standout recently received a scholarship offer from Penn State.

The three-star Michigan commit announced his scholarship offer from Georgia football via Twitter:

UGA football no longer has nation’s top 2024 class

The Georgia Bulldogs have fallen behind Ohio State in 2024 recruiting class rankings

The Georgia Bulldogs no longer have the top-ranked class of 2024. Georgia dropped behind Ohio State in the 2024 recruiting rankings, per 247Sports, following the decommitment and flip of five-star tight end Landen Thomas.

However, Georgia still holds the No. 2 class. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs are off to a strong start in the 2024 cycle. The Bulldogs hold 11 commitments. Georgia has the highest average commitment ranking of any team with more than 10 commits in the 2024 recruiting class.

Georgia is well-positioned to secure an elite recruiting class. The Bulldogs are off to a strong start and the Peach State is stacked in the 2024 cycle. It has 18 of the nation’s top 100 recruits.

Georgia is vying to land a commitment from five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, who was committed to Ohio State. Speaking of Ohio State, the Buckeyes may be the hottest recruiting program in the country at the moment. Ohio State has picked up six commitments in April.

Michigan holds the third-ranked recruiting class in the country followed by LSU and Florida State.

No. 1 recruit in the nation is visiting Georgia this weekend

Five-star offensive tackle David Sanders plans to visit Georgia this weekend

The top-ranked recruit in the class of 2025 is visiting the Georgia Bulldogs the weekend of March 25. Five-star offensive tackle recruit David Sanders is the No. 1 recruit at his position and the No. 1 player in North Carolina.

Sanders plays high school football for Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is one of multiple Providence Day Chargers to receive an offer from the University of Georgia.

Does Providence Day sound familiar to Georgia fans? Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs signed class of 2023 four-star defensive back Chris Peal from Providence Day this offseason. Additionally, the Dawgs signed running back Kyron Jones from Charlotte Christian, a rival of Providence Day, in the class of 2023 cycle.

The 6-foot-6, 255-pound offensive tackle is still filling into his frame. Sanders is planning to participate in the 2025 All-American Bowl. Georgia extended a scholarship offer to David Sanders, who additionally plays defensive end and tight end, in March 2022.

The Providence Day star plans to open the 2023 high school football season at Bank of American Stadium in the first game between high school teams at the stadium. Providence Day will play against Northwestern High School in the first Keep Pounding High School Classic on Aug. 19.

The best recruit in the class of 2025 recruit announced his plans to visit Georgia football in Athens via Twitter:
