One of the biggest grabs for Georgia football’s 2019 recruiting class was Nakobe Dean out of Horn Lake, Mississippi.
Coming out of high school, Dean ranked, on 247Sports, as the No. 19 overall, No. 2 inside linebacker and No. 1 Mississippi prospect in the 2019 class.
As a senior, he recorded 127 total tackles and six sacks. Throughout his entire high school career, Dean had 222 solo tackles, 390 total tackles, 55.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and six interceptions. He averaged 7.8 tackles a game.
What a lot of people fail to realize is that Dean didn’t start playing football till he was in ninth grade.
