5-Star 2021 Recruits Georgia Needs to Target

Despite the recruiting restrictions being in place right now, don't think for a second Kirby Smart and his staff aren't working around the clock getting work done for the 2021 class. Indeed, Georgia, fresh off a No. 1 2020 class, is looking to have another brilliant year out on the trail.

While Spring Camp would have normally brought in several commitments, there are no excuses to be made for Smart and Co. With that being said, here's a look at 5-star prospects they need to focus on moving forward.

5. OT Amarius Mims

Keeping the top in-state guys will always be a priority for Smart, and that's exactly the case with offensive tackle Amarius Mims. The 6-7, 315-pounder is the No. 1 player from Georgia and No. 3 offensive tackle in the country. He holds a boatload of offers, but has "warmer" interest in Alabama and Georgia, per 247Sports. Go out and land him, Kirby!

4. DE Dylan Brooks

Goodness, few high school prospects know how to battle in the trenches quite like Dylan Brooks. Ranked the No. 2 weak side defensive end for his class, Brooks is up to 26 offers this cycle. He's got high interest in Georgia, along with Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Florida State, Auburn and others. He's got all the tools to be a standout SEC playmaker. Why not do so in Athens?

3. DE Korey Foreman

We know what you're thinking: he's already committed to Clemson, why waste time going after him? Well, he's the No. 1 player for 2021. Although he's a verbal pledge to the Tigers and Dabo Swinney, Smart wouldn't be playing the game if he didn't keep pursuing generational talent. Foreman is a monster in the trenches. At this point, you might as well go down swinging if he hasn't put pen to paper.

2. DT Maason Smith

Imagine being 6-5 and 316 pounds as a high school junior? Yup, that's exactly what 5-star DT Maason Smith already brings to the table. He's the No. 2 DT for '21 and has 29 offers to his name. A Louisiana native, many expect him to stay home and play for LSU, but he's got high interest in Georgia and is expected to get out to campus down the road for a visit. With a great experience, who knows, maybe the Bulldogs can convince him to leave the nest and play in Athens.

1. OLB Smael Mondon

At 6-3, 220 pounds, Smael Mondon is already built to be an SEC 'backer. The Dallas, Ga. product is closing in on 40 offers and is the No. 18 overall player for the 2021 crop. He's been linked to Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Oklahoma as the main competitors to land his services. Also to keep in mind, all three of his Crystal Ball projections on 247Sports have him going to UGA. He'd be a monster get.
