Georgia lands commitment from nation's top 2020 CB, No. 8 player overall
The Georgia Bulldogs made a huge late addition to their early haul in the 2020 recruiting cycle on Saturday.
During the All-American Bowl, 5-star CB Kelee Ringo — the nation’s No. 8 overall player in the 247Sports composite rankings — announced his pledge to the Bulldogs.
Per a tweet from Georgia, the Arizona native has already signed his letter of intent:
Welcome @KeleeRingo ‼️

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Ringo is the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2020 and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Arizona.
The Bulldogs now have 21 players in their 2020 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 3 in the nation and No. 2 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
Below, check out some of Ringo’s high school highlights, courtesy of Hudl:
Go Dawgs!
Looks like we “snaked” Oregon out if Ringo. His Mom is a 5 star ad well:-)
Every recruiting expert had him as a solid UGA commit from the start.
You always hold your breath until pen meets paper
Alright!
Sic Em!
^^^ shouldn’t have been a reply.
Good day to be a Dawg
Lannings number 1 defense just got significantly better.
Yep. Plus, Richard LeCounte is coming back next season to help lead the defense.
Go Dawgs!
Great addition to the secondary. UGA has a very good shot at finishing with the top class now, with 2-3 more slots still to fill. It’s currently a virtual dead heat among Clemson, Bama and UGA at the 247 top, with less than 2 points separating 1 and 3. No matter how it finally shakes out, it’s another black belt recruiting year for Kirby and Co.
I love DJ Daniel but we need an upgrade at that spot. There’s a reason opposing teams pick on him so much. Hopefully Kelle is the answer.
Go Dawgs!!
*Kelee
Kelee is gonna get his shot but CB looks like maybe the deepest spot on the roster.
An absolute shut down DB. Kirbys defenses thrive on athletic freaks at DB and OLB. Kelee upgrades the kennel.
Awesome signing for the Dawgs!!! Florida’s top 10 class is starting to look pretty pedestrian compared to the Dawgs. LMAO.
Awww crapola. We just lost more ground to Dan Mullet and GatorbaitorU with this pick up…
KEEP ON CHOPPING big defensive dawg! Great pick up…great news. Welcome to the G Kelee…go Leghumpers!
Another addition to awesome class! Kirby was right after 2017. We aren’t going away.
Go Dawgs! Height, length, physicality and speed…just what the doctor ordered.
Just three more signatures needed.
That Charlton Warren hire is working out quite well, despite the negative comments that were directed his way by fans of his former team…
Kirby…..which 3?
Zach Evans, Broderick Jones, and Sedrick Van Pran. The last has become even more important considering he’s probably our future center after Trey Hill since Gay Clay Webb appears to be out.
Let’s not get too wild and crazy using the word “gay” for Clay Webb here. What he did was disgusting but terming it as gay is entirely unnecessary and does a lot to set back unfair stereotypes and stigmas about the LGBTQ+ community.
I also am thinking that if Clay was going to get kicked, it would have happened already. Unless the athletic department hasn’t done the digging and they are waiting for more facts (I would think they would try to get to the bottom of it right away) it makes me think that either the facts aren’t what they appear to be or they are just letting him twist in the wind a little before cutting him loose.
That’s true–you can’t just go off the word of somebody, but the fact that they took the trouble to set up a civil lawsuit instead of just accusing him on Twitter doesn’t bode very well.
Exactly. You don’t want to go and embarrass yourself if they facts aren’t in your favor. I really don’t enjoy speculating about stuff like this but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the plaintiff would bring the suit in hopes for a settlement. Again I don’t want to speculate that’s what IS happening.
I was going to say the exact same thing MattyJ. Calling him gay insinuates that he did this BECAUSE he’s gay and that gay men are all deviants. If he actually did this he’s a jerk and it has nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
Van Pran seems to be lock. Broderick may pull a Pickens and be flip to Auburn. Kirby may be backing off of Evans. I think he likes what he sees in K Mac, Zamir, etc.
It’s great to have McIntosh, Zamir, Cook, and Milton in the fold but…
1. You can never have enough elite RBs.
2. You don’t get Evans just for one year. There’s a good chance that Cook and Zamir could both be gone heading into 2021. That leaves you with just McIntosh and Milton and at that point you’d really love to have Evans There too.
He just got a couple crystal balls to TAMU and Rusty Mansell changed his prediction to “cloudy”.
At this point, you’d have a better chance of knowing where he’s going to end up if you stared into an actually crystal ball. I hope it’s UGA. If he isn;t coming to UGA there better be a reason better than what I’ve heard so far. Because it seemed like he was all in on UGA and ready to go.
If he doesn’t go to UGA it’s likely that his LOI was never submitted and UGA just didn’t want him, which seems astounding to me–there must be some serious issues we don’t know about if a talent like Evans is rejected by Alabama, LSU, and UGA.
What I’ve heard is that he did turn in his LOI and that UGA also submitted it. If UGA wants to release him from that I would have to assume that there’s some unreported news out there.
So does he or UGA want out? I feel like the insiders making the CB predictions must’ve heard something.
Alright so Next year there is going to be a crazy battle for the starting 2 CB spots. I know UGA is gonna rotate a little bit but 2 of these 6 guys are going to be the top dudes on the edges. I have em ranked like this:
1. Stokes
2. Campbell
3. Stevenson
4. Ringo
5. Daniel
6. Kimber
And I know people dog on Daniel a lot but he played really well all year. UGA ran a lot more press and run and when you do that, sometimes a guy gets behind you. When DJ Daniel is maybe your 5th best corner, you have an embarrassment of riches.
I think Stevenson might take over as the top “star” player since he has shown that he can be a 3 down player, being physical in the run, playing coverage, and even rushing the passer a little.
