What Amarius Mims Brings To Georgia

The University of Georgia has landed a commitment from their biggest target, quite literally, in the class of 2021. At 6-foot-7, 315 pounds, Amarius Mims will be staying in the state of Georgia and playing his college football for the Bulldogs.

Mims is the fourth offensive lineman to commit to Georgia in the class of 2021 and has been the No. 1 target for the Dawgs.

Following is the recruiting profile from the team at SI All-American:

Frame: Rare size and frame; wears a size 17 shoe. Exceptional length, big hands and carries his weight with ease. Could easily add even more bulk and mass in college.

Athleticism: Simply gifted athletically for a person his size; routinely displays coordination, balance, agility and short-area quickness. Possesses natural knee bend, flexibility and gets out of his stance at the snap without any issues. Mirrors well when engaged in pass protection, and can recover well versus inside moves. Solid grab strength at the point of attack and can bring his feet with power as a drive blocker in the run game.

Instincts: As a pass protector, favors both a 45-degree set and short set on the edge and plays to his size. Can be late with his hands and inaccurate with his punch at times, but athleticism and big hands compensate. Has good feet and agility to mirror and recover; yet, again, his hands are what ends things for rushers. Good vision to second level and takes good angles to reach and cut-off linebackers from back side to play side.

Polish: Although possessing ideal size and athleticism, must improve pad level, anchor timing, punch accuracy as a pass protector and run blocker. Also must eliminate his tendency to over-set and waist-bend at climaxes. Will need a redshirt year to begin to properly marry his elite athletic ability with technique refinement and skill.

Bottom Line: Mims has the potential to become an elite left tackle at the next level. He has a high ceiling, thanks to excellent size, athleticism, length and good strength. His development with a skilled offensive line coach will be crucial, as he possesses all of the physical traits needed to dominate. Projects as a high-end multi-year starter and potential all-conference player.
