2. 5-star RB Derrek Cooper
Every elite quarterback needs an impressive running back alongside him, and that is what Georgia is hoping to add with five-star running back Derrek Cooper.
Cooper has announced a top five in his recruitment which includes Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Florida State and Miami (FL). Many recruiting experts shared that UGA was the team to beat, but the confidence this gave Georgia fans vanished after Cooper cancelled his July 12 commitment date.
However, a new report came out a few days ago stating that there is a chance Cooper could end up committing before his originally scheduled date. On top of that, the Bulldogs were also still mentioned as the team to beat for Cooper.
Any five-star recruit is a massive pickup for a program, but pairing Cooper with Jared Curtis would be next level for Georgia. This would help ensure that the future of Georgia, especially on offense, is extremely bright in Athens.
