Staying home: In-state defender Marlin Dean commits to Georgia
The Georgia Bulldogs landed their 3rd commitment for the class of 2021 Friday morning.
Three-star defensive tackle Marlin Dean (Elberton, Ga.) committed to the Bulldogs over offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, among others. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound tackle is ranked as the nation’s No. 25 defensive tackle and the state of Georgia’s No. 33 overall prospect for the class of 2021, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Dean announced his commitment on social media.
“First off, I want to thank God for giving me the ability to make this decision, ” Dean wrote via Twitter. “Secondly, I wanna thank my mom and dad for being behind me through this process. Also wanna thank all the coaches that helped me through this process from camps to visits. With that being said, I will be committing to the University of Georgia.”
Georgia’s recruiting class now consists of 3-star Dean, 5-star QB Brock Vandagriff and 4-star ATH David Daniel, who projects as a defensive back in college. All three of UGA’s commitments are from the Peach State.
You can watch Dean’s sophomore high school highlights below:
I think UGA is probably enamored with his frame. I didn’t really see any DT film in the video, mostly a lot of LT but from they sound of it, that’s not what they are recruiting him for. I think they are gonna try to put 30 pounds on his frame at least and hope he keeps some of his quickness.
I agree about is frame. At 6’6″ he’s a good one to pack in the middle to block kicks.
We have lots of 6’6 guys. Nope I think something bigger is brewing!!! Bama is on fire. Mullen is at his usual finish line at 9 or 10. Maybe less!!! But my gut tells me Kirby is up to something BIG!!!!! With so few spots. I was wondering why we were recruiting 3 star guys??? Yea, some turn out elite. But it’s a numbers game. And we can’t afford to gamble too much. NOPE, SOMETHING BIG IS ABOUT TO COME DOWN!!!
Plus this helps us get under 85. Once it’s all said and done. And if there is still room in the end. He might come back!!!! I know names are just names. But Marlin Dean always sounds like a gator name to me.
Don’t be surprised if Marlin Dean commits to the gators. So he can lose to UGA his whole career!!! Bad move for him. Really really really bad!!!
PREDICTION
Florida or Alabama is who I see. As well as Arkansas and Ole Miss. And Gus is promising the world at auburn. But at Alabama he never sees the field. At Florida he gets beat by UGA regularly. And others to!!!! At ole miss and Arkansas, he gets beat by everyone!!! But I’m going to predict Florida or Ole Miss!!! If he don’t care about winning at all. I’m pretty sure Ole Miss looks good. But Florida is closer to home.
So I’ll go with Florida with ole miss as a backup choice. LSU is probably in there to. But it will be FLORIDA or OLE MISS, or a possibility he stays with the dawgs!!!
PS. But what do I know???? LOL, Hmmmm, Never mind!!! LOL

MY CRYSTAL BALL JUST ADDED A DARK HORSE IN THE RACE. DABO AND CLEMSON ARE LOOKING!!!! Marlin Dean could go to CLEMSON. So now it’s a 3 horse race. Clemson, Florida and Ole Miss!!! But Florida sticks out to me. It just does.
So I’m going with Florida or Ole Miss!!! With LSU sniffing around. But he could possibly come back to UGA. Depending on the situation.
If I had to choose one I would say Florida!!! But I can choose as many as I choose. So Ole Miss is staying!!!
PS. But again what do I know??? Really what do I know? LOL. I KNOW KIRBY IS UP TO SOMETHING BIG!!!

““First off, I want to thank God for giving me the ability to make this decision,…”
Wow.
This guy may need more than just a few tutors.
Is this really what we are down to? Kids who are thankful they have enough intelligence and ability to make decisions?
You forgot to log out of your Bama troll account and log in your UGA troll account nottruedawg..
Bubbatime, I know you don’t represent all SEC fans and are a troll but you are an idiot. I wish SDS would weed out guys like you and block you from the site. You probably have nothing else better to do than sit in your parents basement and troll on the computer all day. Don’t criticize a teenager for making a decision that will affect his future. Go find another site to do that.
His trudawg account has been suspended multiple times. He just makes new ones. He’s the most dedicated troll I’ve ever seen. Anywhere
UGAdawg78… Yeah and it’s clearly him as the two accounts posts in the exact same bullet format…
He tries hard to troll but he really sucks at it..
He is very dedicated at trolling Bama and UGA…so am I right in assuming he’s a vol fan?
Where da phuck you been? Pfft..
I haven’t been on here all that long…and had never really cared to ask…but thanks for clarifying it for me a**hole..
Hey Bubba………I believe it was his way of saying. I prayed about it. But now he decommited so that don’t look so good. But he is young and people make mistakes!!! Personally I’m just glad to read that he mentions God.
PS. I just hope that it’s THE ONLY GOD he is praying to. The God of the holy bible. CHRIST THE LORD!!! The only true God!!!!

I really like this guy as a tackle didn’t see a lot of dt film. Think that he will climb the ranks as well.
DT film I didnt see much of, but LT film I saw.
Daggum I was hoping to find some Florida guys making fun of UGA for signing a three star
LOL. I hear ya. This kid was a great get, I love that he’s so excited about being a Leghumper, so much so that he chose a spot on our practice squad over a starting gig in Gainesville.
I know right?! We got a 2 star QB as our starter!
He was bumped to a borderline 3 after signing but we’ll done, touché sir!
Well*^
I think it’s time to confess, leghumper you always make my day with your comments, I stay away from replying to you, you sure know how to one-up an opposing comment
Why thanks RLg8r… I like to keep it sarcastic and light. It’s a sports blog, it’s not like we’re discussing a 5th deployment to Afghaniland or something. Some SDS Fans should lighten up…not life or death. Have a great weekend.
I agree, I appreciate it same to you
Don’t worry he decommited!!! Most likely to go to 3 star heaven. The university of Florida. That is if you can keep Ole Miss off his trail. I originally picked Florida in this battle. But now I’m thinking.
Mullen or Lane Kiffin? Yes I know I might have misspelled a name or word maybe. Either way. Since Florida is closer to home. And winning more at the moment. It’s tough but I’ll go with FLORIDA!!!! With LSU, Arkansas and Ole Miss as dark horses.
PS. I had Alabama in the race. But I’m dropping them. In favor of LSU. But Florida is still my dog in this race!!!

Hopefully someone tells this future beast: Go to class, hit the weightroom, mind your business and avoid trouble.
I’m glad for the in-state commit and all, but I don’t like the fact that Travon Walker and Jalen Carter are pretty much the only two noteworthy interior d-line recruits that we’ve signed during Kirby’s tenure.
You guys might as well snag sal sunseri from Bama as well for dline coach
