Today on Bulldawg Illustrated’s UGA Recruiting Daily we look at Georgia’s defensive back recruiting and look at four 2018 prospects.
TODAY’S FEATURED PROSPECTS
If position ranking is noted, unless otherwise stated, it is 247 Sports latest composite ranking of the player.
AARON BRULE
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 30 Safety
HT, WT: 6 foot 1.5, and 210 lbs
SCHOOL: Archbishop Rummel High School
CITY, STATE: Metairie, LA
STATUS: COMMITTED to UGA
UGA OFFER:Yes, offered on July 15th.
# OFFERS: 28
NEWS & NOTES: Aaron Brule was offered by UGA on July 15th and committed to the Bulldogs on Sept. 24th. Before he was offered by Georgia and committed to the Dogs, he had been committed to Kansas but de-committed on June 21st. Recently, there has been some question as to whether or not he will stay committed to UGA? At this time he is still committed to the Bulldogs, but he seems to be wavering a bit. He was supposed to take an official visit to Louisville but cancelled and is planning to visit Tennessee this weekend. TCU took an in-home visit with the Metairie, Louisiana prospect on Tuesday, Dec. 12th.
While Brule is listed as a safety, he is a DB that could also play at STAR and is big enough to develop into a linebacker. He plans to sign during the early signing period but is not an early enrollee.

TYSON CAMPBELL
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 3 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 2.5, and 181 lbs
SCHOOL: American Heritage High School
CITY, STATE: Plantation, FL
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 10/31/2015.
# OFFERS: 22
NEWS & NOTES: Tyson Campbell is a phenomenal CB that the previous Bulldog coaching staff offered and the current staff has continued to recruit. His recruitment is wide open at the moment, but Georgia could have a shot here as the Dogs are in Campbell’s top five: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Miami and Ohio State.
It looked like Georgia may have been leading for Campbell for a little while, but now, it looks like the pendulum has swung back over to Miami. The Hurricanes have put everything into recruiting Campbell including the kitchen sink. Still, though, keep your eye on Campbell’s recruitment. The Hurricanes have five defensive backs currently committed including four CBs and a safety; so, will Miami take a sixth DB?
So when will Campbell announce? He is not planning on signing during the early signing period, nor, will he be an early enrollee. He is a prospect that could take his recruitment all the way until NSD 2018 on Feb. 7th. If he does that, will he still have a spot at UGA with numbers getting tight and likely to shrink even further with the early signing period? I would say yes because he is one of the top CBs in the 2018 class.

ISAAC TAYLOR-STUART
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 2 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 1.5, and 193 lbs
SCHOOL: Helix High School
CITY, STATE: La Mesa, CA
STATUS: Undeclared.
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 02/22/2017.
# OFFERS: 50
NEWS & NOTES: The Georgia coaching staff offered Isaac Taylor-Stuart back in February after National Signing Day, and the Helix High School prospect is one of the most sought-after CBs in the 2018 class with over 50 scholarship offers. A big reason why is his 6 foot 2 and 193 lbs frame as well as speed, having been clocked at 4.25 in the forty unofficially (he has ran a 4.43, officially, in Nike The Opening) as well as his athleticism and ability to cover.
Isaac put UGA in his top 12 schools he released back on Sept. 25th, but Southern Cal is considered the leader by a number of recruiting gurus and analysts. The Trojans get one of Taylor-Stuart’s last two official visits, too, on Jan. 12th. He had an official planned at Georgia last weekend on Dec. 9th, but due to the inclement winter weather in the Atlanta-metro area, he cancelled. He has resceheduled his official visit with UGA for Jan. 26th. This weekend, he will take an official visit to Alabama on Dec. 15th. To my knowledge, Isaac doesn’t plan on signing during the early signing period nor will he be an early enrollee; so, he is likely a prospect that will take his recruitment to NSD 2018 on Feb. 7th.

Wilson transferred from Monsignor Pace High School to Miami-Northwestern for his senior season, the same school that UGA commit Raschad Wildgoose, Jr. attends. Wilson took an official visit to Georgia this past weekend on Dec. 8th. He’s already taken offical visits to South Carolina on Oct. 28th and to Alabama on Nov. 18th.
