Recruiting is not an exact science. Some can’t-miss high school players miss and they disappear in college, perhaps due to injuries, talented competition or other factors.

Watch the video above to see several key Bulldogs when they were suiting up in high school.

You can see these players when Georgia (13-1) plays Alabama (12-1) for the national championship Monday in Atlanta.
