ATHENS - As expected, former 5-star DB and multi-year starter Kelee Ringo has decided to skip his fourth season at Georgia and enter the 2023 NFL Draft according to a post on his Instagram page.

One of the top defensive back prospects in college football, the big defensive back has elite speed and made play after play for the Bulldogs throughout his career.

The Arizona native was one of the top signees in Georgia’s standout 2020 class, ranked as the No. 4 overall prospect in the country out of Saguaro High School.

The 6-foot-2 200-pound cornerback picked off four passes in his Georgia career, with the biggest being his pick-6 against Alabama in the 2022 national championship game, sealing the victory and bringing Georgia their first national championship since 1980.

Ringo was excellent as a junior this past season, making 37 solo tackles and intercepting two passes during the season. His two INTs this season came against Kentucky on the road and against Tennessee in Sanford Stadium.

Ringo is expected to be a first-round pick in April’s draft and one of the first defensive backs taken.

The outstanding defensive back will leave Georgia as a two-time national champion. The goal going into college was to play three years and enter the NFL. Now, that goal has been accomplished. 

In addition to his 4 INTs, Ringo also made 76 total tackles in his career, one sack, one forced fumblee, 15 pass deflections, and one national championship-winning touchdown.
