Georgia Football signed another elite recruiting class in 2021 and there are still prominent members of the 2020 class who redshirted last year. With a wealth of talented freshmen on the roster and plenty of opportunities for playing time, several young Bulldogs could earn freshman All-America honors in 2021.

Kelee Ringo, Cornerback

Ringo still has a lot of work to do, but his talent is obvious and he will eventually have the skills to match. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing around 205 pounds, Ringo is the most physically imposing cornerback of the Kirby Smart era. He adds sprinter speed and agility to a frame that creates the blueprint for a superstar cornerback.

Whether or not Ringo achieves freshman All-America status depends on how he develops fundamentally. He didn't practice until December because of labrum surgery he underwent last spring

Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Center

Georgia's offensive line has produced four freshman All-Americas during Smart's tenure at the helm, so why can't Van Pran-Granger increase that total to five?

Sure, he hasn't earned the starting center job yet, but he's in the thick of competition with three-game starter Warren Ericson. Van Pran-Granger physically fits the mold for a starting center in line coach Matt Luke's system. He's an aggressive and athletic 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds. The coaching staff is reportedly in love with his potential at center, so it's safe to say Van Pran-Granger will start at center one day.

If Van Pran-Granger can make that day Sept. 4, he could be in for a special season. Unseating Ericson would be an accomplishment in itself and show that the New Orleans native is ready to be a top lineman in the SEC.
