Georgia’s recruiting has been feasting this year; they’ve earned themselves the number one recruiting class in the nation. This trend continues with their latest acquisition, 4-star Dennis Uzochukwu.
Uzochukwu is a formidable figure, standing at a terrifying six-foot-six, 285 pounds. The Lawrenceville native had been committed to Georgia State for some time but surprised the world when he announced his flip to Georgia on Thanksgiving.
This new acquisition is certainly something for Bulldog fans to be thankful for -- he’s ranked the No. 42 OT in the country. Maintaining a status quo of dominance in the trenches in the NIL era is not easy, but Georgia continues to bring in talent from its resource-rich region.
The beast can also play defensive end, admittedly, he likely will not need to during his time with UGA. However, if necessary, who knows if he’ll see playing time. The Bulldogs are certain to be players in the transfer portal to fortify their ranks. And money talks in Athens.
We’ve seen players in college football play multiple positions on both sides of the ball this year, most notably from Colorado’s Travis Hunter, though, Ole Miss’ JJ Pegues is much more like the style of two-way player Uzochukwu embodies.
Regardless of whether he’ll play both sides of the ball, Uzochukwu is a massive pickup for the top-recruited team in the country, and will likely contribute to the Bulldogs’ continued success.
