Georgia Football Recruiting: Meet Bulldogs' 2013 Recruiting Class
The Georgia Bulldogs' 2013 class has the potential to be very good.
Mark Rich and his staff went out and landed a lot of recruits, and many of them will play a huge role in both the short- and long-term future of Georgia football.
The Bulldogs were able to add a few star recruits who will contribute right away, but Richt also did a great job of filling out the depth chart and taking care of some long-term needs.
Overall, this class is extremely strong, and Georgia fans have plenty to be excited about.
Let's get to know Georgia's 2013 recruiting class.

Davin Bellamy
1 of 32Height: 6'5''
Weight: 235 lbs.
Position: SDE
Stars: 4-star
High School: Chamblee High School (GA)
Senior Stats: 29 TCK, 5 TFL, 5 SCK, 1 INT
Other Finalists: Tennessee, Florida State
Commit Date: 2/6, 11:40 AM ET
Analysis:
Bellamy is a big-time late addition to Georgia's class. He recently decommitted from Florida State, and represenst a huge in-state win for the Bulldogs.
Devondre Seymour
2 of 32Weight: 300 lbs.
Position: OT
Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: North Gwinnett High School, Suwanee, GA
Commit Date: 2/6, 9:00 AM ET
Brice Ramsey
3 of 32Weight: 197 lbs.
Position: QB
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: Camden County High School (GA)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: Alabama, Ohio State, Ole Miss
Commit Date: 7/15/11, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
With Aaron Murray coming back for his senior season, there's really no need to rush Ramsey into the fold. Once Murray moves on, Ramsey should be able to compete for the starting spot, though, so a redshirt year would be great in terms of having the extra year of eligibility. Ramsey is the No. 6 pro-style quarterback in the 2013 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Tramel Terry
4 of 32Weight: 192 lbs.
Position: WR
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: Goose Creek High School (GA)
Senior Stats: 49 REC, 818 YD, 5 TD
Other Finalists: Clemson, South Carolina
Commit Date: 3/6/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Tramel Terry should most likely redshirt his first year with the Bulldogs. He's a talented receiver recruit who has the potential to be very good, but that extra year could be very useful in regards to rehabbing a torn ACL he suffered in December.
Tray Matthews
5 of 32Weight: 192 lbs.
Position: S
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: Newnan High School (GA)
Senior Stats: 80 TCK, 2 SCK, 1 INT, 2 FF
Other Finalists: Auburn
Commit Date: 8/13/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Tray Matthews is going to be a big-time backup at safety as a freshman, and he'll also most likely make an impact on special teams. With Shawn Williams and Bacarri Rambo moving on from Georgia, look for Corey Moore and Connor Norman to take over. Matthews is the No. 11 ranked safety recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite, so he'll eventually be a big player for Georgia's defense.
John Atkins
6 of 32Weight: 300 lbs.
Position: DT
Star Ranking: 3-Star
School: Thomson High School (GA), Hargrave Military Academy
Senior Stats: N/A

Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: East River High Schooll (FL)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: Purdue, South Florida, Texas A&M, Ole Miss
Commit Date: 4/6/12, Enrolled: 12/14/12
Analysis
Ryne Rankin will be an important addition for the Bulldogs at inside linebacker. He has terrific size at 6'1'', 230 pounds, and he runs a 4.60 40, according to 247Sports. He projects to be a great special teams player right away, but he could also see some backup reps behind Amarlo Herrera and Brandon Burrows.
Reginald Carter
9 of 32Weight: 230 lbs.
Position: ILB
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: South Gwinnett High School (GA)
Senior Stats: 145 TCK
Other Finalists: Georgia Tech
Commit Date: 4/9/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Much like Rankin, Carter will be an important backup right away. He also projects to be a good special teams player. Look for Carter to compete with Rankin for backup time at inside linebacker, and that should be a good backup competition to watch early on for Georgia. Carter is ranked as the No. 16 inside linebacker in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite.
J.J. Green
10 of 32Weight: 175 lbs.
Position: CB
Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: Camden County High School (GA)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: Stanford, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt
Commit Date: 4/9/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
J.J. Green projects to be a very productive cornerback for Georgia in time, and much of that has to do with his speed. He's only 5'9'', 175 pounds, but he runs a 4.40, according to 247Sports. He'll be good on special teams as a freshman, and in time he could end up being a very good nickel corner for the Bulldogs.
Josh Cardiello
11 of 32Weight: 285 lbs.
Position: OG
Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: Buford High School (GA)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: North Carolina, Nebraska
Commit Date: 5/19/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Depth at guard is going to be huge in the next few seasons for Georgia, so Cardiello is a great recruit to have enrolling early. He has good size and is a big in-state recruit. He'll compete for a backup spot behind either Dallas Lee or Chris Burnette as a freshman and he could end up being one of the eventual replacements once those two move on.
Jonathon Rumph
12 of 32Weight: 215 lbs.
Position: WR
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: Holmes Community College, Brookland Cayce High School (SC)
Senior Stats: 37 REC, 606 YD, 2 TD
Other Finalists: Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State
Commit Date: 1/21/12, Signed: 12/19/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis:
Don't be surprised if Rumph finds his way into the rotation in his first year. He has incredible potential at 6'5'', 215 pounds, and he runs a 4.60, according to 247Sports. He could be a big-time deep threat for Georgia, so look for him to see the field early—especially in the red zone.
Aulden Bynum
13 of 32Weight: 270 lbs.
Position: OT
Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: Valwood School (GA)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: Louisville, North Carolina, Miami, Auburn
Commit Date: 1/21/12, Signed: 12/19/12, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Bynum is a big tackle recruit at 6'5'', 270 pounds, and he'll be a candidate to back up Kendarious Gates in year one. He'll have an advantage because he enrolled early, and once Gates moves on, look for Bynum to be a contender to replace him.
Chris Mayes
14 of 32Weight: 330 lbs.
Position: SDE
Star Ranking: 3-Star
School: Spalding High School (GA), Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: N/A
Commit Date: Signed: 2/2/11, Enrolled: 1/4/13
Analysis
Chris Mayes is an absolutely huge recruit at 6'4'', 330 pounds ,and he fits the 3-4 system perfectly. He's ranked as a strong side defensive end, but at 330 lbs., chances are Georgia will look to move him inside to the 0-technique. He'll be a big two-gap defender in the middle, and he should be a good backup. There's also the option of having him drop some weight and play defensive end, where he would be strong against the run.
Quincy Mauger
15 of 32Weight: 195 lbs.
Position: S
Star Ranking: 3-Star
High School: Kell High School (GA)
Senior Stats: N/A
Other Finalists: N/A

Position: RB
Star Ranking: 4-Star
High School: Boone High School (FL)
Other Finalists: Tennessee, Florida State
Commit Date: 11/13/12
Analysis
A.J. Turman can be a very good No. 3 option behind Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall at running back. At the very least, he'll have the potential to compete for that spot. He has great size at 6'0'', 205 pounds, and he runs a 4.48 40, according to 247Sports.
Brendan Langley
18 of 32Weight: 180 lbs.
Position: CB
Star Ranking: 4-Star

Other Finalists: South Carolina
Commit Date: 2/10/12
Analysis:
Shaq Wiggins is the No. 12 cornerback recruit in the 2013 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Much like Langley, he'll be an important depth player right away, and he has great potential as well. J.J. Green and Wilkerson may have a slight advantage over Wiggins because they enrolled early, but look for Wiggins to be a factor in the next few seasons.

Other Finalists: Florida
Commit Date: 7/29/12
Analysis:
Jordan Davis has great potential as a tight end, and he's coming in with good size at 6'4'', 230 pounds. Arthur Lynch should be the starter with Jay Rome and his backup. Davis can try to see the field as the No. 3 tight end, or he may want to take a redshirt. In time, he'll be a good option.

Analysis
Paris Bostick is a safety recruit with good potential at 6'0.5'', 217 pounds. He'll be a good special teams and backup safety in time, but considering the depth chart, a redshirt year could be a great option.

Reggie is a big commitment from the state of Florida for the Bulldogs. He's only 158 pounds, but he runs a 4.55 40, according to 247Sports, so he has good potential as a speedy wideout. For now, he'll find himself as another wideout on the depth chart, but his speed could help him set himself apart eventually.
