Elite in-state defensive lineman signs with UGA football

The Georgia Bulldogs football program received an initial commitment from three-star defensive tackle Marlin Dean back in March. Dean decided to back off his commitment in July and then later decided to recommit to the University of Georgia on his mom’s birthday.

Now, Marlin Dean has signed with the University of Georgia.

Dean is a high school football player who previously played for Elbert County High School, which is located in Elberton, Georgia. Dean now plays for high school sports powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

He is a member of the class of 2021 and was Kirby Smart’s first commitment in the trenches for the class in March. During his time in Athens, Kirby Smart has transformed the trenches on both sides of the football.

Georgia football has signed numerous players already in the class of 2021. The Bulldogs and defensive coordinator Dan Lanning are looking to reload next season. There’s anticipated to be a lot of Georgia defenders who enter into the NFL Draft.

We will continue to update you on recruiting for class of 2021. Georgia still has a little bit of work to do before it’ll have an elite class. The Dawgs had the nation’s best recruiting class in 2020.
