Every SEC East team's top commit for 2022
Thankfully, on-campus recruiting has returned to college football, as the 2021 recruiting cycle was all virtual due to the pandemic.
Coaches and recruits now get to interact face-to-face and tour program facilities as opposed to recruiting on Zoom. Sure, Zoom gives potential prospects and coaches face-to-face time; however, it’s much different than getting the prospects on campus.
Right now, only Alabama, Georgia and LSU are ranked among the top 10 classes in the nation. The Bulldogs have the nation’s 5th best class, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
