Kamari Wilson Has Big Announcement Coming Soon
Five-star safety Kamari Wilson from IMG Academy tweeted Monday that he has a "big announcement coming soon!" Wilson's tweet came only hours after Kojo Antwi's commitment to Ohio State. Wilson's potential commitment to the Dawgs would be a huge momentum boost to a Georgia 2022 class that has seen high-profile decommitments since June.
247Sports has Wilson as one of the top-ranked safeties in the 2022 class. He is listed at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, and is an early candidate to be an SI All-American in the upcoming SI-99.
The prospect of adding Wilson to Georgia's class would make him the highest-rated recruit to commit to the Bulldogs. After dropping from fifth to seventh in the latest SI All-American team rankings, Georgia could use the bump.
Georgia heads into the 2021 season after an offseason that saw four former starting defensive backs depart for the NFL, while two other contributors joined them. The transfer of Tyrique Stevenson earlier in the offseason was a blow to Georgia's depth in the secondary. Stevenson looked to be the favorite to start at STAR in 2021.
With Stevenson heading south to Miami, the Dawgs picked up transfers from West Virginia's Tykee Smith and Clemson's Derion Kendrick; both are positioned to be immediate contributors in 2021. The mass exodus of Georgia's secondary following 2020 meant that the Dawgs are open to taking a bigger class of defensive backs in 2022.
With expectations of Georgia taking five or potentially six defensive backs in this class, they are already more than halfway there. Safeties Malaki Starks and JaCorey Thomas and cornerbacks Jaheim Signletary Marquis Groves-Killebrew lead the way with a potential addition of a player like Wilson.
Wilson has long been linked to this Georgia class and has been recruited by defensive analyst Will Muschamp dating back to his days as the head coach at South Carolina. Muschamp is a major player in the recruitment of Wilson and is part of the reason why sources close to the situation feel good about Georgia's chances.
