Georgia Football Recruiting 2012: Targets Mark Richt Still Needs to Reel In
Georgia is going all out this year on the trail, and the Bulldogs have shown that they still are a top draw in the SEC. The Dawgs have two of the top 20 players on my board in RB Keith Marshall and OL John Theus.
However, Georgia is not stopping there. Mark Richt and his staff have been pounding the backroads of the South hard these days in search of top-notch talent. Here are four players I think they need to get.
Mike Davis, RB
1 of 4Davis was a Florida pledge, but has backed off and Georgia is hard on his trail.
A smooth and easygoing runner, Davis is a shifty type who prides himself on making defenders miss. If you're looking for a back with some wiggle in their style, look no further than Davis.
Weighing in at 5'10", 195 pounds, Davis is dangerous in the open field. But what makes him special is his explosion out of cuts at the junction point of routes in the passing game. Linebackers will have fits trying to cover Davis in college.
Josh Harvey-Clemons, WR/OLB
2 of 4At 6'4" and nearly 210 pounds, Harvey-Clemons shows very good knowledge of the game on defense, plays with instincts, can set the edge and is a sound athlete.
If he sticks at OLB, his transition quickness will allow him to become one of the better cover LBs in the country.
Florida and Georgia are the top two, with Alabama and Florida State behind them.
Jordan Jenkins, DE/OLB
3 of 4They call him "The Freak." Yes, because Jenkins is freakishly gifted as an athlete, and I expect big things from the 6'3," 250-pounder.
He's so athletic that he could be a DPR-type guy for a defense as a true freshman. As he gains more strength to anchor versus blockers on the edge or set the edge as a standup 3-4 OLB, he should be an All-SEC-caliber player wherever he goes.
Avery Young, OT
4 of 4When you watch Young move around on tape, you wonder if he could even play tight end, as he is that athletic. He has not even scratched the surface of how good he can be, as the 6'5", 275-pounder looks like a potential left tackle.
He can set up quickly, slide, mirror, bend, recover and anchor versus rushers down after down. Once he learns good hand placement and how to mix up his sets, he could develop into an All-American left tackle.
