Today’s G-Day Game could end up being a major coup for the 2018 and 2019 Georgia football recruiting classes.

There will be two three-star, 15 four-star, and four five-star prospects in today’s G-Day crowd. That’s a total of 22 prospects, four of them have already committed to the Bulldogs, all for the 2019 class.

If you wonder why Kirby Smart and other coaches want full stadiums for their spring scrimmages, look no further than recruiting. The fan bases at these schools can communicate to recruits how much they back their program.

Last years G-Day Game led to Trey Blount’s, Netori Johnson’s and D’Andre Swift’s eventual commitment to the Bulldogs. This years game should have the same affect on many of the recruits at the game.

The recruits in attendance today according to DawgNation’s Jeff Stentell:
