UGA football news: 2021 recruiting class gets bolster with Elijah Jeudy commitment

It was a great weekend for some UGA football news, particularly with no actual G-Day game going on (although the Virtual G-Day was a huge success). The Dawgs got a 2021 recruiting commitment from OLB Elijah Jeudy, the No. 8 player in the state of Pennsylvania and the No. 12 WDE in the nation, according to 247 Sports.

While players who are listed as WDE (weak side defensive end) typically are thought of as better pass defenders than run, Jeudy actually possesses some elite skills in both run and pass defense, meaning he could work in a hybrid-linebacker type role on the outside.
