Georgia makes final 3 for elite 2019 ATH out of Louisiana
The Georgia Bulldogs aren’t quite putting together the 2019 class they had hoped for after landing the nation’s No. 1 class in 2018.
However, it’s still early, and there are plenty of elite recruits out there who are considering Georgia, including 4-star AT Makiya Tongue out of Louisiana.
On Tuesday afternoon, Tongue — who plays outside linebacker and wide receiver — narrowed his list of schools down to three, with the Bulldogs making the cut:

The Bulldogs will compete with Arizona State out of the Pac-12 and Texas out of the Big 12 for Tongue’s services.
According to the 247Sports composite, Tongue is the No. 15 athlete in the class of 2019 and the No. 11 overall recruit from the state of Louisiana.
He has a weird offer list. Major schools like UGA, UF, and Clemson have offered him, but so have LaTech, Marshall, and Kansas. He does not have an offer from LSU.
It’s still early, but we’ve been striking out on some big time recruits recently. We need a big recruiting win to get back on track. However I’ve learned not to count out Kirby until the end.
If anything, last year should show you that UGA hasn’t missed out on anybody until those papers are signed. Just ask Quay Walker and Otis Reese. I think they still are working on guys like Pappoe and maybe one of the 90 DLinemen that South Carolina has picked up.
I’ve also noticed recruiting results seemed to have slowed a bit in Athens but there are still some studs to decide and we still have more 5* commits than any other program at the moment.
Right now UGA has 10 commits for 2019. 3 five star guys and 7 four star guys.
Looks like UGA will be just fine.
