ATHENS - If you don’t know who Kamarui Dorsey, today is the day to learn.
An elite in-state defensive back from Hampton High in McDonough, Georgia, Dorsey is a playmaking safety and one of the very best prospects across the country in the 2027 class.
He’s big, physical, athletic, and a major target early on for the Georgia Bulldogs in next year’s recruiting class.
Dorsey already holds a giant offer list and is coming off a strong sophomore season where he made 58 tackles, four TFLs and three INTs.
Dorsey recently spoke with Dawg Post about his recruitment and his interest in the Georgia Bulldogs.
DON’T FORGET YOUR FANDUEL BETS!!
According to FanDuel, the Atlanta Falcons have +134 odds to make the NFL Playoffs this fall.
“I have a great relationship with the guys at Georgia”, Dorsey told Dawg Post. “They all check up on me. I was up there for a spring practice. Coach Smart said they were out of shape but I didn’t see how. They were all moving around fast with high energy and high intensity. It was a great Georgia practice. I want to be called out any time I’m slacking so I really liked it out there. You can’t slack and get to the next level.”
The Bulldogs are firmly in the mix early on, but Dorsey had no problem saying that he was a favorite team growing up.
The Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide are in the mix too but might be dropping the ball with Dorsey this second. Without Nick Saban, it’s clear Alabama doesn’t have the leg up anymore with the playmaking safety anymore.
“I grew up an Alabama fan when Nick Saban was there and so I knew Coach T-Rob has been over there and coached the DBs when he was there,” Dorsey said about his relationship with Georgia defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson. “I always wanted to play for Alabama when coach Saban was there. Coach Robinson has some Saban in him. He’s going to teach the defensive backs how to be physical.”
Of course there’s still a long way to go. Dorsey is just entering his junior season and holds offers from just about every major program in the country. Still, the Bulldogs are making their pitch.
“Their pitch is that if you go to Georgia you’re going to get developed by NFL-caliber coaches,” Dorsey said. “You might not play early as it all depends on when you’re ready and know the playbook, but the pitch is that if you come work hard you’re going to have a chance to play in the league.”
“Other schools recruiting me hard are Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Georgia Tech”, Dorsey added. “They’re up the road and check on me a lot. Auburn and Maryland are recruiting me to play receiver.”
Where did Dorsey visit back in the spring>
“I took spring visits to Georgia, Georgia Tech and Alabama this spring”, Dorsey said. “I thought the Alabama staff was laid back. It’s not as intense as Georgia’s practice. It feels different from the Nick Saban days. I wasn’t offered during my spring visit so I’m still hoping that offer comes in. As for Georgia Tech, they’re building something special up there. Coach Key has them going in the right direction. They should have a big year.”
What means the most to Dorsey?
“What means the most to me is where I’ll feel at home. I want to go to a place that will push me. My dream is to go to the NFL so I want to get there by any means possible.”
As a player, it’s easy to see why the Bulldogs are so high on the metro-Atlanta defender. He brings great size for his age at 6-foot-3 200-pounds and brings an intimidating presence to the secondary. He plays hard, he’s aggressive, and loves contact. He’s a sure-tackling safety who can play in the box and be a major weapon against the run. He also brings dependable ball-skills that allow him to make big plays in coverage.
He’s a natural athlete with a big-time frame, strong instincts, and easy playmaking ability. He was consistently one of the best players on the field at all times last year as a sophomore and should be even better this fall as a junior.
Dorsey is ranked as the No. 4 safety prospect, the No. 4 prospect in Georgia, and the No. 35 overall prospect in the country for the 2025 class.
