Fresh off visit to Gainesville for Florida's spring game, elite Texas DB Jalen Kimber commits to Georgia
Gainesville must have really left an impression on Jalen Kimber over the weekend as the four-star defensive back from Texas just announced his commitment to Georgia.
The Arlington native unofficially visited Florida over the weekend for the Orange & Blue spring game but instead of committing to the Gators coming off that visit, Kimber announced his pledge to join Kirby Smart’s program leading up to his official visit to Athens for Georgia’s G-Day Game.
247Sports Composite Rankings list Kimber as a four-star prospect, the No. 16 cornerback in the nation and the No. 239 overall recruit in the nation for the 2020 recruiting cycle. He currently holds scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M among many others.
His commitment to Georgia gives the Bulldogs six total commitments for the 2020 recruiting cycle and pushed the class into the top 10 rankings nationally and a top 5 class in the SEC. Kimber is the first defensive back to join the class and the first prospect to commit not from the states of Georgia or Florida.
Kimber’s lead recruiter for Georgia? None other than Charlton Warren, which has to make Florida fans wonder if they didn’t “upgrade” after Warren left Gainesville for Athens if they would have landed the Lone Star State native.
G-Day fireworks early!! TX to GA. #CommitToTheG #LockUp

Kimber announced his commitment to Georgia on Twitter with the following message:

Apparently 39,476 wasn’t enough to impress Jalen Kimber.
He leaves the Florida Spring game and first thing he does is commit to Georgia. Smart kid…
You do realize that will be bulletin board material in the locker room and carried to Jacksonville. I’m surprised Mullen still does not know how to keep his mouth shut. Go Dawgs!
Would have made more sense to use some combination of letter values for the word NEVER – which is how long it’s been for Mullen as a HC. He’s never even won a division, yet trolls another school about a natty drought. Even as an assistant, Kirby way outpaces Dan in ring count.
At least Spurrier earned a couple of wins against Georgia before he started the public chatter. Mullen has absolutely nothing in his UGA bag except talk, and it seems more desperate and forced every time he opens his mouth.
Kirby’s not lowering his standards to respond to Mullen’s troll bait, but you can bet every shot is being noted and filed away for the next Cocktail Party.
LMAO!
Feel good story of the day.
Did mullet do his patented dance moves for the young man????? I didn’t think anybody could escape the spell cast by mullet’s lap dances.
Does this young realize he turned down the great QB coach known to mankind.
He’s a DB. I don’t think QB tutelage was high on his list.
Irreverent, everybody wants to associate with greatness and mullet is GOAT QB coach. Plus mullet turned Miss St is to the best NCAA football program to ever take the field.
LSUMC…..Exactly. But I doubt DUCK DUCK GOOSE and throwing to RETIRED WRs to run up the score, impressed him much!!! I think if anything did it.
I think it was 3rd and Grantham!!!
Which has now become 1st and Grantham and 2nd and Grantham!!! Those DBs at Florida made Franks look like Tom Brady’s TEACHER!!!
He thought if this is the coaching I’ll get at Florida. That is all I need to see!!!!!
Mullen thinks he is a QB whisperer!!!!! But he is much better as a CLOWN!!!! I think he has missed his calling. BOZO THE CLOWN I THINK WAS HIS NAME??? How about MULLEN THE CLOWN??? I like it.
King Negan
Apparently you enjoyed the lap dance that he gave you cause you still seem to have a chubby for him. I had no idea that Dan Mullen occupied so many minds these days.
Project much???
So UF hired a coach that does silly ga y dances in an effort to get his QB up (no pun intended) it’s not the end other World in Gainesville, yet.
I’m sure coach zookmuschampmcelwain mullet will do great.
38-14 chump
Dude you are the only one on this entire site that is talking about men giving lap dances and “ silly gay dances” as you put it. Whatever get ya going but it’s obvious that you have a thing for dudes. Nobody is interested. There are other web sites for that. Maybe you are at the wrong site.
Mullen’s been doing the whole UGA jab since his 1st press conference. It’s all been Mullen. “Squirrel finds a nut” comment last year when he was announced. That was the year after he got beat 31-3 by UGA and the year he got beat 36-17. Beaten by UGA 67-20 the last two years and this year doesn’t look any better.
Dan Mullen has been beaten by UGA, he’s the anti-Spurrier but has the same mouth…which is awesome!
Gatorboy
I’m not the problem regarding mullet’s silly dances – mullet is the problem. Kill the messenger all you want but it was UF’s coach that made a fool out of himself on national tv.
Seriously, can you name a coach at another Power-5 school that did something that goofy and groupie looking????
So DannyBoy Mullen, come up with some cute remarks about how you keep losing the recruiting wars to Georgia. Coupled with Georgia’s 20 inning win over Clemson last night/this morning, it’s a great day to be a Georgia Bulldog!!
239th best player? We’ll take him!
What’s his choke quotient?
Isn’t that what all the truckers ask you – what’s your choke quotient?
DawgsofWar,
Hahahaha. It’s rare that I read a comment on here that makes me laugh out loud. Kudos sir.
This ought to amp mullet’s but tthurt up a few more degrees
After viewing that dumpster fire in action last week, I think just about anyone would have headed in the opposite direction. Smart kid.
It’s kinda sad actually. Mullen wasn’t an anti-UGA guy and never had been. He was brought in to be the “new Spurrier” and has awkwardly bumbled around and played the cringy “UGA hater” that Florida fans demand. It isn’t natural like it was for Spurrier. It was personal for him being beaten up by UGA as a player. Spurrier always had a chip on his shoulder about UGA. It’s not there with Mullen. His UGA jabs aren’t really returned or even cared about by Kirby and he’s been steamrolled the last 2 years playing Kirby and UGA…..and for a decade against Kirby’s D at Alabama. This next year looks no different and it almost seems 100% like Mullen is playing to the Florida fan trying to re-live the glory days with his UGA jokes that fall flat. It doesn’t fire people up or make them mad at UGA like Spurrier….people hated how cocky he was because he had a mouth AND WON! UGA will drop 35+ on UF again this year and Mullen will think of a fresh joke again this next year…for the UF fans.
Yep, I completely agree. Even his “blind squirrel” comments last year did not do him any help, only harm last year.
Pretty hilarious that you guys think this was some huge recruiting win. I hate to break it to you, but the Gators weren’t even recruiting him that hard. DB isn’t a position of need this cycle, and I’m sure that was blatantly obvious to him on his visit. Overpaying for a DB coach thinking that will land you Elam, only to watch him choose the Gators, now that was a huge recruiting win. This not so much, but keep believing what you want to believe if it makes you feel better and congrats on landing the 16th ranked DB. Don’t try to make this out to be more than it is. Now carry on with your Gator obsession.
Pfff….
Nothing matters till he signs anyway… UGA fans love to celebrate early.
Killed any more trees Harvey?
Continued being a classless UGA fan?… Yes, you sure have…
You are talking about class? That’s rich!
You’re the fool that likes to always call people classless… I’m just pointing out you don’t have any class either…. It doesn’t take but a second to see it by your posts…
They sure do nothing is better than watching the dejected Dawgs with their heads down. #Kirbying
Right Joe, a guy comes to Florida all the way from Texas on an official visit and you really didn’t want him anyway? Next joke please, I’m already laughing hard at this first effort.
The article says unofficial visit … if so, he went to G’ville on his own his dime.
Dawg Lovers need something to make them feel good. They kill me with all their FL jabs and then get bent when It comes back on them. In Athens they know…..39476 and counting…and your right about Spurrier he despised everything about UGA. He can commit and leave like Eason and Fields…
