Georgia football is starting to heat up in terms of the recruitment of the 2020 class. We take a look at who could be the next domino to fall into the hands of Kirby Smart and his program.
Georgia football’s momentum continues to be on the rise.
The Dawgs recently picked up a commitment from 4-star offensive lineman, Joshua Braun. This pickup is Georgia football’s second verbal commit for June and twelfth overall.
The Bulldogs have around 10 more scholarships available for the 2020 class assuming they can keep the players that have already verbally committed.
With those 10 spots, Georgia will be looking to make a splash and secure a few more top-level recruits, several of them of the five-star status. Let’s take a look at a few of those prospects that could be the next domino to fall and commit to Georgia.
Kelee Ringo
The Scottsdale native is a physical specimen at the cornerback position.
He’s listed at 6’2 and 205 lbs he has elite size and should have no problem lining up against any of the bigger receivers in the country.
Ringo thrives in man coverage and can stick receivers at the line of scrimmage but also open up his hips to stay with the speedsters.
Many believe that Georgia is leading a tight race against Texas to secure his talents. Ringo is a prospect to be excited for as Georgia continues to try and throw its hat in the “DBU” race.
Kendall Milton
Milton’s ranked as the nation’s #21 overall prospect and #3 running back within the 2020 class out of California. He is listed at 6’2 and 220 lbs.
His size reminded me of Derrick Henry at Alabama when he was carrying the ball sometimes it looked like he was playing against pee-wee defenders.
Milton is a guy that will not go down on arm tackles and has excellent balance. He can step into any power five program and start right away.
He’s taking notice of the stone wall that Coach Sam Pittman is continuing to build at Georgia, look at his tweet from earlier this week.
Last month Milton put out a top four list that included the Bulldogs, among the others, were Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU.

Arik Gilbert
The No. 2 tight end and No. 2 in-state prospect has been a heavy lean for the Bulldogs for a long time.
Gilbert released his top ten list in early June, the Dawgs still are the favorite to land him, but schools like Tennessee and Alabama have maybe gained some ground recently.
He’s listed at 6’6 and 245 lbs as well.
Gilbert has the size and frame that you are looking for from an elite tight end. He is well-known for being one of the best overall athletes in this 2020 class.
While some of his technique is raw, he has the versatility to line up attached or split out as a receiver. Look for the Bulldogs to land this big-time prospect in the coming months.
Zachary Evans
I recently wrote about Evans and his narrowed down list to five schools and Georgia being among them.
Evans is the top running back prospect in this 2020 class, and there is a good reason for it.

He also took notice on Twitter of the recent Georgia commitment by tweeting at Kendall Milton’s response to a tweet from Georgia commit Akinola Ogunbiyi.
While it may be a longshot, just imagine the damage a duo like Evans and Milton could do against SEC defenses.
They have the potential to rival the production of the most productive backfield duo in college football history of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.
