Georgia’s 5 Biggest Recruits after National Signing Day

The Georgia Bulldogs didn’t have the greatest 2016 season. But their success on the recruiting trail should translate to the football field soon.

The Georgia Bulldogs had a huge National Signing Day. Head coach Kirby Smart finished with the third overall recruiting class after signing 26 players to their letter of intent, according to 247Sports.

Georgia had an interesting 2016 season, starting the year 4-4 before winning four of their last five games. Their offense was a work in progress all season long. Senior quarterback Greyson Lambert began the season as the starter before being pulled for freshman quarterback Jacob Eason. Eason finished the season with 2,430 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Bulldogs had some holes to fill on offense as well. Their offensive line allowed 24 sacks last season, tying for sixth in the SEC with Alabama. In this year’s recruiting class, they signed six offensive lineman, four offensive tackles and two offensive guards, to get some much-needed depth.

Georgia also went out and signed four wide receivers to this year’s recruiting class. Coach Smart made it a priority to get some weapons to pair with their two-headed rushing attack of running backs Sony Michel and Nick Chubb.

National Signing Day was a turning point for the Georgia Bulldogs. With the second-best class in the SEC, Coach Smart used this year’s class to get a whole lot better on the offensive side of the ball. Here are the five biggest recruits after February 1.
