Ray Drew commits to Georgia over Auburn and LSU

Ray Drew, one of the nation's top recruits, has committed to Georgia. Drew is ranked by nearly every recruiting outlet as the No. 2 defensive end in the nation and one of the top-ranked overall players in the country. Drew, a 6'5'', 250-pounder, had been considering Auburn, LSU, Clemson and Miami and all told had received more than 50 scholarship offers. Drew, of course, becomes a key cog in the Bulldogs' impressive "Dream Team" recruiting class, as he is currently its top-ranked recruit. Georgia could hear even more terrific news when top-ranked running back Isaiah Crowell makes his commitment known on National Signing Day.Drew is just the latest key commitment to offer his verbal to Georgia in the last two weeks. Last week, the Bulldogs received verbals from Valdosta teammates Jay Rome (No. 1 tight end) and Malcolm Mitchell (No. 7 wide receiver). The disruptive Drew heads to the front of a defensive unit in this 2011 recruiting class that also features No. 9 athlete Damian Swann, 4-star defensive end Sterling Bailey, 4-star cornerback Devin Bowman and ninth-ranked outside linebacker Amarlo Herrera.

Georgia head coach Mark Richt has hyped up this year's recruiting class as his "Dream Team" and it seems as though he's living up to that hype.
