The Georgia football program officially began shaping its 2021 signing class on Wednesday with the first day of the early signing period.
To get the ball rolling, the Bulldogs were able to lock in commitments from a number of prospects throughout the morning while waiting on a few big decisions to take place later in the afternoon.
The 2021 recruiting cycle has been like no other as coaches deal with the challenge of pitching prospects on their program without official on-campus visits and the ability to tour facilities.
In a year like this, having the top recruiters in the country is as important as ever. Luckily for the Dawgs, that doesn’t seem to be much of a problem under Coach Kirby Smart.
No matter what happens on Wednesday, the Bulldogs will land another Top 10 and likely Top 5 class thanks to ‘The Closer’ …
