Davin Bellamy recruiting updates

Davin Bellamy, a defensive end considered a four-star recruit by some, has decided to stay at home and committed to the Georgia.

Bellamy’s recruiting process was a relatively confusing one: he was considered to be down to Florida State, Georgia, and Tennessee. At one point, we had the strange news that he was committed to the Seminoles but the leader was Georgia, thanks to Todd Grantham’s defense. Oregon leaped into the consideration in part thanks to a trip to Eugene, when he took a picture with a bong.

Coveted defensive end prospect Davin Bellamy, long thought to be deciding between Tennessee and Georgia, took a surprise official visit to Oregon this weekend. He tweeted out a picture from his visit that stayed up just long enough for a Reddit user to take notice:

That’s Bellamy in an Oregon jacket with two gentlemen, four lovely young women, and a bong. Bellamy quickly deleted the picture, for obvious reasons, but everything on the Internet lives forever.

Davin Bellamy, a defensive end/outside linebacker recruit out of Chamblee (Ga.) High School, has a new leader, he told ESPN:

Bellamy is extremely concerned about early playing time, though the 6’5, 230-pound end likely needs to redshirt to add size and learn the game.

Georgia is expecting to welcome a nice group of official visitors this weekend as it tries to wrap up its 2013 recruiting class. There will be four prospects on campus, according to 247 Sports.

They’ll be looking to sway the a group of recruits that is currently uncommitted or committed elsewhere. One such recruit is Montravius Adams, a consensus 5-star defensive tackle from Dooly County High School in Vienna, Ga, who is currently uncommitted. Adams recently visited Alabama and Clemson and does not have any future visits planned at this time.

Tennessee is expecting visits from committed recruits including wide receiver Ryan Jenkins, a consensus three-star recruit from Marietta (Ga.) Lassiter High School, offensive tackle Austin Sanders, a consensus three-star recruit from Cleveland (Tenn.) Bradley Central High School, and athlete Cameron Sutton, a consensus three-star recruit from Jonesboro (Ga.) Jonesboro High School, among others.

They’ll also be looking to sway a group of recruits that is currently uncommitted or committed elsewhere. One such recruit is defensive end Carl Lawson, a consensus five-star recruit from Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton High School, who is currently committed to Auburn, and is scheduled to visit North Carolina on Jan. 25.

Florida State defensive end commitment Davin Bellamy says he is “devastated” by the news that Florida State quarterback coach Dameyune Craig is leaving Florida State to become the wide receiver coach and offensive coordinator at Auburn University.

Craig played for Auburn, and was the primary recruiter for the star defensive end recruit from Atlanta.

Bellamy is quick off the edge and has a slight frame at 6’5 and 225 pounds. He’ll need to work hard in a college strength program to avoid being pushed around by college offensive tackles, but should be able to eventually support 255 or more pounds of muscle.

Bellamy spoke with SB Nation about his decision to be a Seminole.

Saturday at Atlanta’s Chamblee Charter High School, defensive end Davin Bellamy will make his college decision. Bellamy is one of the better defensive end recruits in the Southeast. He is rated four stars by ESPN and Scout, and three stars by 247sports and Rivals.

Bellamy has good height at 6’5 and checks in at 225 pounds. There are some questions about his frame, as he is not incredibly long, but with a few years in an elite college football strength program, he should be able to reach 255 or more pounds of muscle.

Davin Bellamy texted SB Nation Recruiting’s Bud Elliott Thursday to inform him that he is now in Tallahassee to visit Florida State. The defensive end, who brought his mother along for the trip, will also visit Vanderbilt this weekend.

His plan has been to make a decision before his football season starts in early August. However, Bellamy does plan to take official visits even after committing.
