Georgia Brown: The state of Georgia has been a goldmine for star defensive linemen, and Brown is next up. He made a living in the backfield last season, recording 17.5 sacks to go along with 101 total tackles. He also forced five fumbles. Tennessee and Auburn, which have both recruited the Peach State well, are pushing hard to land Brown, but the in-state Bulldogs are favored to keep him close to home.
