Georgia adds a massive 4-star offensive lineman.
Nyier Daniels, an offensive tackle, is another member of the Georgia Bulldogs’ trench corps. Originating in Newark, New Jersey, the offensive tackle, rated four stars, is headed to Athens.
At six feet eight inches tall and 360 pounds in weight, he is ranked as the second-best player in New Jersey and the 22nd-best tackle in the entire country. He is ranked No. 2 in New Jersey, just behind Jordan Thomas, a fellow Georgia signee.
Daniels made his commitment to the Bulldogs in July and hasn’t wavered since. Throughout high school, he has grown into his monster-sized frame. Even though he was excellent at that level, he still needs to develop further to become a reliable starter.
In the run game, he plays with extreme physicality and brutality. His technique is always the same. He has the ability to advance, and his strength in the lower body can overwhelm opponents.
At the tackle position, Georgia has produced a number of NFL-caliber players, including Andrew Thomas, Brock Jones, and possibly Amarius Mims. He is the latest offensive lineman to sign with the Bulldogs, joining the ranks of Marcus Harrison, Michael Calhoun, Daniel Easely, and Marcus Harrison.
2024 recruits who will have the most impact as first-year students
The Georgia Bulldogs signed the second-largest class in the nation and the top-ranked class, but which four- and five-star players from that group will be the best in the upcoming campaign?
Kirby Smart managed to keep the nation’s top recruiting class together even after Nebraska defeated Dylan Raiola, the top quarterback in the nation.The Georgia Bulldogs are still in the lead after a relatively uneventful early signing day.
Georgia has a very talented team, but with 17 transfers out of the program and only one commitment made thus far, the Bulldogs will need a boost in talent from this class of 2024 if they want to defeat Alabama for the SEC title and return to the College Football Playoffs.
Smart had 28 players, including four five-stars, twenty four-stars, and four three-stars, sign their National Letters of Intent on early signing day. Which players from that select group of high school talent will be prepared to assist Georgia in the upcoming season, much like Raylen Wilson did on defense in 2023?
The only true freshman from Georgia to be selected to the 2023 Freshman All-SEC team was Wilson. Kirby Smart’s team is difficult to play for, but if the Bulldogs are to win their third consecutive national championship, these 2024 signees must have a significant impact on the field in their first season.
Xavian Sorey has left for Arkansas, and Jamon Dumas-Johnson recently departed via the transfer portal for Kentucky. Georgia’s defense now has a hole in the middle that could be filled by any number of former five-star recruits. Although Walker is more of an outside backer, Raylen Wilson and Jalon Walker are two of the top prospects to play inside linebacker in the upcoming season.
Williams can also be brought up in the conversation regarding who will compete for snaps, as Wilson and C.J. Allen are sophomores. Williams is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound man who moves quickly. As an off-ball linebacker, he could make a significant impact.
Williams has demonstrated some skill as a pass rusher and has a history as a safety from early in high school, so he has enough versatility to find a way onto the field. Although Georgia will have a very young lineup at inside linebacker, it is tough to rely solely on inexperienced players there; sometimes skill speaks louder than experience, and Williams possesses plenty of it.
Kirby will be happy to hear that Smael Mondon Jr., Georgia’s top tackler in 2023, will be back in 2024. He will be the center of the unit’s signal-caller rotation, but given the number of injuries the Bulldogs sustained at that position in 2023, he will need a rotation of other backers beside him.
