2019 Defense Class: 1st Prediction

Georgia’s 2019 class should be just as exciting as the 2018 class. One area of emphasis for the 2019 class is the defensive line. I looked at the various 2019 prospects, and this is the first prediction of the 2019 defense class. Granted it’s February 28, 2018, and it’s early in recruiting, but here is an early look at who I think Georgia will take. Below I break down each position and who will the Bulldogs pick and a couple more guys who are on the radar.

I rank 1-3 in confidence that the prospect will sign with Georgia.
