Georgia Bulldogs: 2012 DL Prospect Jordan Watkins

The Georgia coaching staff hasn't been resting on their laurels since landing one of the top recruiting classes in the country this season, they are fully focused on keeping that trend going for 2012, and Jordan Watkins is the latest defensive prospect to get a nod from Mark Richt and Co.

Watkins is 6'5", 260, and is an absolute beast off the line. He has a great nose for the ball and moves well for his size. He's likely not done developing yet, but he's certainly capable of playing at either  defensive end or defensive tackle at the next level.

Said Watkins about the offer from the Bulldogs, "An offer from Georgia gives me three things as far as my family is concerned. I can stay close to home, which my mom would probably be happiest about with all of this. It is a great place to play football, and it is a great place to go to school for four years" (Kipp Adams, Rivals.com). 

If Georgia can put together a winning record this year, and make it back to a respectable bowl, you have to like their chance to stay in the hunt for Watkins.

Watkins touts 29 offers as of today, which includes several other SEC schools—Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama among them.

He totaled 61 tackles (13 tfl) and 6 sacks as a junior.
