Georgia defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann was asked Saturday about the Bulldogs’ group of 3 freshman linebackers: CJ Allen, Troy Bowles and Raylen Wilson.
All 3 were at least 4-star prospects out of high school with Wilson representing 1 of Georgia’s 4 5-star recruits added in the 2023 cycle.
Schumann was asked what specifically stood out about all 3 during the recruiting process and rattled off a few attributes: notably their insane collective athleticism.
See his full thoughts below, via 247Sports:
“They’re very talented in terms of their athleticism, in terms of being versatile in their skillset. They’re not limited to doing one thing. That’s what attracted me to them when I watched the tape,” Schumann said. “Speed is a premium. Ability to play in space is a premium. What really made me want to sign those individuals and why I’m happy they’re here is they’re extremely competitive, extremely hard-working, they love football, and they’re good people. If you check those four in addition to your skillset, those are guys you want to coach.”
Bowles, Allen and Wilson all committed within a month of each other in June/July of 2022. Allen was the first to pledge to Georgia on June 20, 2022.
All 3 join an inside linebackers room at Georgia that is chock-full of talent. Jamon Dumas Johnson and Smael Mondon highlight a room that also includes Xavian Sorey, EJ Lightsey and Jalon Walker.
Georgia kicks off its season in less than 3 weeks against UT Martin on September 2.
