A Week Away: Recruiting Day Preview for Georgia

A week from Thursday two important Georgia Football recruiting targets will be coming off the board. We preview their decisions here.

July 22. It's a day that Georgia fans have been looking forward to for a while considering the recruiting stakes that are in play. 

Running back Branson Robinson and edge defender Dani Dennis-Sutton are both set to reveal their college commitments. 

So, who are the contenders for both of these elite prospects? And what are the chances that both end up committing to Georgia? 

Branson Robinson

It seems Georgia has been the leader in the clubhouse for months. The Mississippi prospect has built an excellent relationship with the Georgia coaching staff, particularly running backs coach Dell McGee. He's also received some love from current running-back commit Jordan James. 

As for the other contenders, Georgia is competing against Alabama and Tennessee as the only competitors. Alabama already has two running-back commits in the class of 2022, leaving their chances for Robinson rather thin, and Tennessee . . . well, they are a few years away from landing an out-of-state prospect like Robinson. 

Dani Dennis-Sutton

The greater Baltimore, Md., region is one of the more overlooked football areas in the country. People discuss Texas, Florida, California and Georgia when they speak about regions that produce national prospects, but rarely is the state of Maryland mentioned. There are currently 47 players on active NFL rosters that were born in the state of Maryland — the overwhelming majority of which are from Baltimore. 

Dennis-Sutton is the next player in line from the Baltimore area. At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Sutton is ready to play on the edge in college. According to sources, Georgia is smitten with Dennis-Sutton. Not only because of the physical traits he possesses, but also because of his character. Since his official visit on the first weekend of June, they have made Dennis-Sutton the priority at the position in this class, and he's certainly felt the love. 

The contenders are Alabama and Penn State. Obviously, With Penn State being the school closest to home, it has a chance. The Nittany Lions have a strong presence in the Baltimore area on a perennial basis and have four players on their current roster from Dennis-Sutton's high school.
