Georgia football will find out who fills out its 2022 recruiting class on Wednesday, and it’s going to be one heck of a finish.
The Dawgs already picked up one pledge on Monday, and now there are a handful of spots left to fill.
Georgia is also looking to finish with the No.1. recruiting class overall. They currently have it on Rivals, but as for 247Sports and ESPN, they are No.2 and No.3, respectively.
Georgia football will look to sign at least four of these six guys but would love to land all of them.
The Dawgs currently have 25 pledges, including three 5-stars, 14 4-stars and eight 3-stars. The average is 92.51 and has 305.74 points, which is just 1.15 points behind the Tide in first place.
Georgia’s five stars include Malaki Starks, an athlete who is No.14 in the country, No.1 in athlete and No. 2 in Georgia. Jaheim Singletary out of Jacksonville is the second five-star to pledge his loyalty to the Dawgs. He ranks as the No.21 overall, the No.5 cornerback and No. 3 in Florida.
Mykel Williams rounds out the five-stars as he is No. 26 overall, No. 5 defensive linemen and the No. 3 player in Georgia.
While the Dawgs only have three five-stars right now, they could close out with five or six.
Georgia is on a mission to finish with one of the best classes ever in modern recruiting and can do just that on Wednesday.
The Dawgs could add another pledge on Tuesday before the big day as 4-star Chandler Smith. The former Florida Gator commit will likely pick the Dawgs. This past weekend, he was one of the guys at the big recruiting event and would give the Dawgs their third former Gator pledge in this class.
He would have been on this list, but Smith will make his decision before Wednesday, so he gets this sweet and brief mention. If he doesn’t, though, add him to the list because it seems like an already done deal.
These six names are ones to watch out for on Wednesday because they will likely pick the Dawgs. Four guys are really leaning heavily toward the Dawgs, and the other two are toss-ups and would just be that extra strawberry or cherry on top of the already delicious cake.
Wilson is a 6-0, 200-pound safety out of IMG Academy and is a 5-star. On 247Sports Composite, he ranks as the No. 28 overall, No. 2 safety and No. 5 Florida prospect.
He has been someone Georgia has wanted all recruiting cycle. Wilson is a stud and would make a perfect addition to the Dawgs secondary. He would be someone who could play right away if he picked up the playbook and could immediately make an impact.

Wilson took his official visit to Georgia back on Oct. 1 and will pick between the Dawgs, Florida, LSU, FSU and Texas A&M.
He should pick the good guys, but we will see. Georgia is the logical choice for him as he will get a chance at playing time right away and the way the Dawgs continue to develop secondary players is unmatched.
Georgia wants Wilson badly because they know with his speed and athletic ability, he could give them a great safety with Lewis Cine possibly leaving for the pros.
Of course, there are others in front of this young man already on the roster, but he has the talent to beat them out and play right away.
He will announce his decision on Wednesday through an ESPN live broadcast at 4 p.m.
The next name on this list to watch out for on Wednesday has to be 5-star Daylen Everette, a cornerback from IMG Academy.
Could he join his teammate Kamari Wilson? Sure, and the Dawgs have made a late push to get this guy. Everette de-committed from Clemson a few days ago and now the Dawgs seem like the team to beat in this recruitment.
With Brent Venables leaving for Oklahoma, the Tigers have struggled on the recruiting front, and losing Everette is huge.
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Everette is the No. 29 overall, No. 6 corner and No. 6 player out of Florida.
His primary recruiter at Georiga is Jahmile Addae, and that alone should tell you what kind of recruiter this coach is. In this battle, Glenn Schumann is the secondary recruiter, so I like the Dawgs chances.
Everette will pick between Alabama and the Dawgs, but the latest crystal ball prediction has him in Red and Black instead of Crimson and White. That prediction came two days after the same expert suggested he would pick Alabama, so this is a tight race, but I like the Dawgs chances.
If Everette joins this class, it could be the greatest secondary signing class ever, and they would all be coming to Athens.
At the same time, even though the Dawgs have signed talented groups before, none of these guys are selfish, and they all want to play for the Dawgs genuinely. They seem to trust these coaches.
We will find out Everette’s decision on Wednesday as well.
Christen Miller is the third player who could pick the Dawgs on Wednesday.
This battle seems to be between the Dawgs and Southern Cal for the Ellenwood, Ga., native. The West Coast seems like a long way away for a peach state kid, but we’ve seen it happen before.
According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Miller is the No. 107 overall, No. 19 defensive linemen, and No.11 in Georgia.
The Dawgs will also battle it out with Ohio State and Alabama for this talented defensive lineman. Georgia already has a pretty stout defensive line class, but getting a 6-4, 285-pound player is never a bad thing to add.
His latest visit was to Oregon back on Nov. 13, and Alabama was late to the party offering him on Nov. 1. Miller visited Georgia on Sept. 18, and by Oct. 21, Georgia recruiting expert Rusty Mansell predicted he would choose the Dawgs.
He is a two-time state champion at Cedar Grove and fought hard with his brothers. Miller played both ways in high school but will stick to the defensive front in college.
Georgia is in a good spot to land this young man, but don’t count out Alabama either. Southern Cal may hold the other crystal ball prediction, but if the Tide wants someone bad enough, they will find a way to land him. The same could be said about Georgia too, so this battle could be fun to watch pan out in the next few days.
Shemar James is the final name that heavily leans on the Dawgs. He is a 4-star linebacker out of Mobile, Alabama.
According to 247Sports Composite rankings, James is the No. 64 overall, No.7 linebacker, and the No. 3 player out of Alabama.
James is another kid who was committed to the Florida Gators but de-committed on Oct. 20. He opened his recruitment back up, and the Dawgs immediately became the team to watch.
He has also visited Alabama a couple of times on Oct. 23 and Nov. 6. James went to FSU on Nov. 13 and took his official visit to Athens on Dec. 10.
James has had 13 sacks in the last two seasons and 17 tackles for loss. He is a head hunter who could become another NFL-bound linebacker with the right development.
Alabama will be the team to beat out here, so it could be another battle between the Tide and the Dawgs for a pledge.
He was one of the families that got visited by Glenn Schumann, Dan Lanning, and Kirby Smart during the home visits the past week, and it seems like that could really have set the tone for the rest of his recruitment.
James will likely announce on Wednesday, and we’re working on confirming the time.
Georgia football has been pushing to flip 5-star cornerback Travis Hunter from FSU for an extremely long time. The 5-star hasn’t done it yet, but the Dawgs continue to put the pressure on him.
He seems pretty committed to the Noles, as he has been pledged to them since March 3, 2020.
The 6-1 165-pound corner attends Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Ga., where he recently put on a show in the state championship game.
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Hunter is the No. 1 overall, No. 1 cornerback and the No.1 player in Georgia.
Yet, he is going to FSU, and while that is frustrating, sometimes those things happen. However, Georgia will fight for this young man until they cannot do it anymore.
Hunter is an extremely talented cornerback who will be in the NFL in a few years. There isn’t much this young man cannot do, so they will benefit from having someone like him on their team wherever he ends up.
If there were another team, it would be Georgia. However, this flip will be challenging to make happen.
Head coach Kirby Smart has pushed hard for him down the stretch because it’s important to keep homegrown kids well at home, but only time will tell if it were enough to change his mind.
Hunter will likely end up at FSU, but Georgia will fight until the ink dries on the paper.
Last on this list is 5-star defensive end, Marvin Jones Jr., a Fort Lauderdale native, Fla., native.
The five-star is 6-4.5 and 245-pounds and is a hot commodity. He is a toss-up in terms of where he will end up, but the Dawgs would love to have him.
According to 247Sports Composite rankings, he is the No. 22 overall, the No.2 edge rusher and the No. 4 player out of Florida.
Right now, it seems like Alabama is the team to beat, and we will find out as Jones will announce Wednesday at 4:40 p.m.
The Dawgs are making a push, but he could likely end up in Tuscaloosa.
We included him because the Dawgs could make a final push and change his mind, especially if Tyre West de-commits at the last minute, but only time will tell.
With him having a later commitment time, this could make for a great story to follow throughout the day.
Georgia football will look to close out with one of the best recruiting classes ever and after the way, this season has gone, that seems more and more likely to happen. The Dawgs will finish No.1 in the country and wear the recruiting crown with pride.
