He was recruited by Georgia inside linebackers coach Mike Ekeler who served as the primary recruiter for Dallas, while wide receivers coach Bryan McClendon assumed the role of secondary recruiter. Dallas amassed six offers in total as Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia State, Missouri, and South Carolina all offered the Glynn Academy product.

“I committed to Coach Richt,” Dallas told 247Sports Recruiting Insider Kipp Adams via text message. “It felt like home.”
With this commitment, the Bulldogs have the No. 10 class nationally and the No. 4 class in the SEC per the 247Sports Team Rankings.
At this time, he is not sure what position he will play in Athens.
“I committed as an athlete,” Dallas told Adams “It feels great to be committed to UGA.”
He has the speed to be a running back and is particularly effective when he is able to get to the edge of the offensive line and bounce to the outside. However, his speed could also make him a red zone threat at the wide receiver position, so there could be a possibility there. His versatility will be a tremendous asset for the program.
The Bulldogs should be very pleased with this commitment and it should allow them more flexibility within their offense.
