Georgia recruiting: Notable changes in 247 Sports’ updated player rankings

On Wednesday, 247Sports updated its 2021 recruiting rankings for the top high school football prospects in the country.

Georgia, which holds six commitments in the class of 2021, has five players ranked in the top 247.

Remember, these rankings are different from 247’s Composite Rankings. The Composite Rankings take into account all four primary services in the industry, while the 247 rankings are created by the company’s own analysts. 

Here are the new rankings for Georgia’s commits:

QB Brock Vandagriff out of Bogart, Ga.

Vandagriff, a 4-star in 247’s rankings, moved down one spot to No. 32 overall. He is the No. 2 ranked dual-threat QB. He remains a 5-star in the composite rankings.

OT Micah Morris out of Kingland, Ga.

Morris, a 4-star OT, remains the 92nd overall player in the nation. He’s America’s No. 17 ranked OT and No. 10 player in Georgia.

RB Lovasea Carrol out of Warrenton, Ga. (currently attending IMG Academy)

4-star RB Lovasea Carroll remained the No. 106 overall prospect. He did, however, move up one in the running back rankings from No. 8 to No. 7.

DB David Daniel out of Woodstock, Ga.

Daniel is a 4-star defensive back who saw a slight change and is now the No. 134 overall prospect.

SDE Johnathan Jefferson from Douglasville, Ga.

4-star SDE Jefferson dropped five slots and is now ranked as the nation’s No. 171 overall prospect.

A few notable players who are uncommitted:

Georgia targets in the rankings:

S James Williams from Opa Locka, Fl.

Williams, a 5-star, dropped from No. 5 to No. 8. He is considered a Georgia lean at the moment.

OT Amarius Mims from Cochran, Ga.

Mims, a 5-star in the composite rankings but a 4-star in the 247 rankings, dropped one spot and is now the nation’s No. 14 overall prospect. He’s also expected to commit to Georgia.

CB Tony Grimes from Virginia Beach

Same as Mims, Grimes is a 5-star in the composite rankings but a 4-star in the 247 rankings. He went from No. 17 overall to No. 18.

OLB Smael Mondon from Dallas, Ga.

Another player expected to end up in Athens, Mondon dropped one spot to No. 19 overall. He is a 5-star in the composite but a 4-star in these rankings.

CB Nyland Green from Covington, Ga.

Green, a 4-star CB, remained as the nation’s No. 27 overall player. 247 predicts he’ll be a Georgia Bulldog.

WDE Dallas Turner from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

Turner, who 247 predicts to commit to Georgia, saw a huge jump from No. 143 to No. 34 overall.

OL Dylan Fairchild from Cumming, Ga.

Fairchild, a 4-star offensive lineman, also made a massive leap. He went from No. 188 to No. 42.

WR Deion Colzie from Athens, Ga.

Athens’ own Colzie moved down two spots to No. 46. Notre Dame and Georgia appear to be the two to beat.

TE Brock Bowers from Napa, Ca.

Bowers is expected to be a Dawg. He dropped one spot to No. 53 overall.
