Brinson would join Jalen Carter as another top rated defensive lineman from the class of 2020 to commit to the Bulldogs. Carter himself has risen up the recruiting rankings in recent weeks:

UGA DL commit Jalen Carter has been bumped to Number 19 overall in the latest 247 rankings update. He is now the second highest rated defensive tackle in the country. Congratulations to Jalen. Big time player. pic.twitter.com/0Sdk3w76NU

Kirby Smart is really valuing the trenches in recruiting. The offensive side of the trenches has been well established, but there’s some work to do on the defensive front. Alabama consistently dominates competition in the trenches, so a strong defensive and offensive line is key to winning the SEC or a National Championship.

If Brinson commits to UGA, it would be yet another recruiting victory for the Bulldogs over Dan Mullen and Florida.
