Georgia football picks up commitment from in-state DE

Georgia’s 2021 recruiting class has new pledge. Four-star strongside defensive end Jonathan Johnson announced his commitment to the Bulldogs via Twitter.

The junior out of Douglasville’s Douglas County High School stands 6’4″ and weighs north of 250 pounds, making him a candidate to be an edge rusher or, with hypothetical gained weight, can easily transition to an interior defender if needed.

Recruiting analyst Barton Simmons of 247Sports recently appraised as a “big bodied defensive end that is a good candidate to kick down to an interior defender. Thick frame and not overly long.”

Jefferson told Rivals.com:

“I’m a Georgia boy, so UGA is the perfect fit for me.”

The addition of Jefferson gives the Dawgs their fourth pledge in the 2021 cycle, along with quarterback Brock Vandagriff, defensive back David Daniel, and defensive tackle Marlin Dean, all of whom are ‘Georgia boys’ as well.
