The summer months approaching means one thing for Georgia, commitment season. Recruits will commit all year long, but a large majority of them tend to make their final decisions in the coming months.

That is especially the case for Georgia who often signs around 20 recruits in the month of June alone.

So who could be the next players to commit to Georgia as commitment season approaches? Rivals believes the following three players are all trending the Bulldogs' direction right now.

1. LB Joakim Gouda

Gouda is one of the highest ranked players that Georgia is targeting right now as he is a four-star linebacker and the No. 30 overall player in the country.

Rivals believes that UGA is the heavy favorite right now as they give them a 90 percent chance to win this recruitment. The Auburn Tigers are in second place right now, but as of now this is looking like a top 30 recruitment Georgia will win against one of their bitter rivals.

2. S Jaden Aparicio-Bailey

Up next is safety Jaden Aparicio-Bailey which is turning into another battle between Georgia and Auburn. The Bulldogs aren't given as great of a chance to win this recruitment as Rivals only gives them a 32 percent chance to win, but that is still much better than Auburn's 11 percent chance.

Aparicio-Bailey has been sending Georgia a lot of signals that they are his top school. Considering he is the No. 79 player in the country this is another recruitment Georgia fans should get really excited about.

3. LB Jalaythan Mayfield

Last but not least is another four-star linebacker in Jalaythan Mayfield. He is the No. 92 player in the country who Rivals also believes is leaning towards Georgia. Unfortunately they only give the Bulldogs a 23 percent chance to win this recruitment, but that is still slightly better than South Carolina who has a 17 percent chance to win this battle.

Georgia already has two top 100 player committed to their class. If they are going to challenge for the No. 1 class ranking though then they need to add a lot more elite recruits, and these three players would go a long ways in helping accomplish that.
