As two nationally prominent schools, Michigan and Georgia unsurprisingly have quite a few battles on the recruiting front. Perhaps there aren't many true head-to-head battles, but plenty of players get offered by both schools. Michigan tries to dip into Georgia way more than Georgia tries to dip into the state of Michigan, so Michigan loses plenty of those battles, too.

Here is a list of Georgia players that Michigan pursued out of high school:

  • OLB Robert Beal, Jr.
  • WR Dominick Blaylock
  • TE Brock Bowers
  • RB Lovasea Carroll
  • S Lewis Cine
  • QB J.T. Daniels
  • DT Jordan Davis
  • TE Arik Gilbert
  • TE Ryland Goede
  • DT Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
  • WR Kearis Jackson
  • WR Jaylen Johnson
  • CB Kamari Lassiter
  • OL Warren McClendon
  • RB Kenny McIntosh
  • RB Kendall Milton
  • OL Micah Morris
  • WR George Pickens
  • CB William Poole
  • OL Tate Ratledge
  • CB Kelee Ringo
  • WR Justin Robinson
  • WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
  • OL Jamaree Salyer
  • OL Justin Shaffer
  • CB Christopher Smith
  • LB Nolan Smith
  • S Ameer Speed
  • OL Xavier Truss
  • QB Brock Vandagriff
  • LB Quay Walker
  • TE Darnell Washington

The Bulldogs have zero players on their roster from the state of Michigan, but freshman safety Matthew Helow is the younger brother of Michigan linebackers coach George Helow.

On the flip side, Michigan has several players from the state of Georgia, including . . .

  • Michael Barrett - LB - Valdosta (GA) Lowndes
  • Chris Hinton, Jr. - DT - Johns Creek (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian
  • Trente Jones - OT - Loganville (GA) Grayson
  • Alexander Lidback - LB - Alpharetta (GA) Alpharetta
  • Jalen Perry - CB - Dacula (GA) Dacula
  • D.J. Turner II - CB - Suwanee (GA) and transferred to IMG Academy
  • William Wagner - LS - Alpharetta (GA) Alpharetta

  1. Hinton was a big H2H win for the good guys. Georgia is eating our lunch in TE recruiting though. They keep getting the Blue Chippers we want.

  2. Looking forward to your preview Thunder. I'm leaning toward a very close game

    Oh, and my family & I will be in attendance at Hard Rock. Section 347, but the prices were just outrageous. Also have tickets for the National Championship, because why stop short? Let's win the whole dang thing!
