The Bulldogs picked up commitments from three recruits for the class of 2013 on Friday, according to 247sports.com.
Leading the way was inside linebacker Ryne Rankin, a 6'1", 230-pounder from East River High School in Orlando, Fla. Rankin is rated as the No. 16 linebacker in the state of Florida, and a 4-star prospect, according to 247sports.com.
Rankin chose Georgia over Arizona, Cincinnati, UConn, Duke and several other FBS programs. He's similar in stature to current Georgia outside linebacker Jarvis Jones, and Jones' success under third-year defensive coordinator Todd Grantham certainly impresses recruits. Also pledging his commitment to the Bulldogs was 6'5", 270-pound offensive lineman Aulden Bynum from Valwood School in Valdosta, Ga. Bynum is a 3-star prospect, according to 247sports.com. Auburn and Ole Miss were also in the mix for Bynum's services. The third member of Friday's commitment trio is 6'2", 185-pound Kyrin Priester from Brookwood High School in Snellville, Ga.—just down the road from Athens. Priester will be joining the Bulldogs as Tavarres King is walking out the door. The versatility of wide receiver/cornerback Malcolm Mitchell should give Priester an opportunity for early playing time.
Since finishing the 2010 season with a 6-7 record, Georgia has rattled off back-to-back solid recruiting classes, won an SEC East title and gotten a jump-start on 2013 with 12 commitments.
