Top Recruiting Classes after National Signing Day
3. Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs were a surprise in this year’s 2017 recruiting cycle on National Signing Day. They crept into the top three despite going 4-4 in SEC play in 2016. They pulled in two five-stars, 18 four-stars and six three-stars to fill some holes on both sides of the ball.
Their lone quarterback commit of the class, pro-style five-star Jake Fromm, enrolled early in January. Head coach Kirby Smart brings in another quarterback to challenge Jacob Eason for the starting job.
It was baptism by fire last year for Eason in the tough SEC as he was a starter by Week 2 last season. Fromm will have this spring to challenge Eason for the starting job as he joins a roster with three quarterbacks in 2017.
Wide receiver Jeremiah Holloman, a 6-foot-2 , 195 pound four-star prospect, also enrolled early along with four-star offensive tackle D’Marcus Hayes. Holloman starts his college career right away looking to push for a starting role on a Bulldogs offense in desperate need of a physical receiver.
Hayes is a 6-foot-6, 320 pound stud out of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College who looks to contribute right away. Five-star Isaiah Wilson, a 6-foot-7, 350 pound offensive tackle, should also push for a starting spot. Overall, Georgia earned the commitments of four offensive tackles and two offensive guards in their 2017 recruiting class.
