Brock Vandagriff: 5-star UGA commit has a legacy playoff game up next
How good is Brock Vandagriff? Why is this week's game the biggest of his prolific high school career at Prince Avenue Christian? Read on. His Wolverines face the 5-time defending state Class A public state champions.

Uhmmm. uhmmm, cannot wait to get Brock to Athens and into the Red and Black. I do not believe, I know this kid has what it takes to make it in the SEC and beyond. He will champion UGA to new heights. The incoming 4 and 5 star recruits are his supporting cast. I have liked this young QB from day one. To me he epitomizes the Joe Burrow model...and then some. He is a solid performer but most of all a team player! A leader with a keen mind and total confidence in his ability...to WIN! The Kirby Smart formula.
‘Dude he will probably hurt you if you keep trying to do that’
Love it. Cannot wait to see him between the hedges.
Great article Jeff!
Hopefully JT can ball out next year and Brock can come in and mop up a few games so as not to lose his redshirt but gain some experience and then take over the helms as a redshirt freshman in 2022.
I mean if he can overtake JT then my hats off to him but I think easing him into it and then starting him from 2022-2024 will be a plus. Imagine JT taking us to the NC next season and then Brock doing it 3 years straight!
LOVE BROCK, no doubt, so don't take this the wrong way at all. Merely offering up some perspective to even further appreciate (which is already happening) the guy now leading the DAWGs (presumably):
Brock:
JT Daniels:
· 38-4 at Mater Dei (Cali) | 2 Heisman Winners | 4 National Titles [Beat IMG in 2018, the team we all love for sending players to UGA, on their way to second consecutive H.S. Natty.]
· JT: Started after 1st month of his Freshman season
· Career (three years): 12, 014 yards | 152 TDs / 14 INTs
· Junior Year (last year in H.S.):
· 15-0 / Unanimous National Champs (every rating service)
· Defeated defending champ, Bishop Gorman (NV), and Bergen Catholic (NJ), avg. score 44-11
· Season: 52 TDs, 13 TDs rushing
· Gatorade Male H.S. Athlete of the Year
· {Note: Mater Dei also had the National Defensive Player of the year – pretty good team}
· SI Cover
· Graduated w/4.18 GPA (while graduating a full year early)
What am I saying w/all this? I think Brock is actually ANOTHER QB in the same mold. Between him and JT, hopefully they can start UGA on the path of becoming RBU, QBU, WRU, and every other U you can name. In fact, I think we've got a "Brock" a couple of years early, in the form of JT. I hope we appreciate what we've got in JT, and the road he will (hopefully) pave for Brock and those to come behind him.
The only thing standing in the way is.... (not going there, but his initials are KS).
Very nice. JTs stats were out of this world. Hoping JT can help the kid along next year with some veteran wisdom and pass the torch.

Not used to seeing such quality stats on this site. I don’t see Kirby standing in the way; in fact, I believe his first five years have been a great ride. To me, it’s been exciting witnessing the building of a perineal contender with this year being an outlier. Unlike Richt’s last ten years where the occasional great season was the outlier and LSU selling its soul to the devil for a natty only to have their program totally unravel within a year, Kirby is building a program that will be elite for the long haul. JT and Brock are the cornerstones that will bring the offense up to par with the defense!
Love this kid’s mechanics! Not even one back foot throw! I don’t see a dual threat QB. Much like Fields, I see a pro-style QB that can run if the need arises.
True, I'm pretty tough on KS. Keep forgetting he's relatively new as a HC. I'm all for him, so long as what he does benefits UGA. But point well taken! Thanks.
Brock may need to bring some of those Bantam weight receivers with him. I swear those little dudes are fun to watch they know how to make him look good. Cut on a dime and weave their way through defenders like nobody's business. And they all look like they're about 5' 6" and about 130.
What a tremendous display of respect and sportsmanship by ELCA's coach. I know a lot of head coaches will heap praise on an opponent to get them to feel overconfident but his praise feels genuine. Good luck to both teams, I hope they can give the fans another classic like they did last year. But this time I hope Brock and his team advance and they can produce a State Championship for Brock's Dad. What a gift that would be. Something they can share forever.
Delicious reading for hungry Dawgs fans !! I really think the future is getting brighter and brighter for the Dawgs !! Just hang on to Coach Monken !! If he even thinks about leaving Pay Him please UGA !! Until he can get all the Chess pieces in place at UGA and Fully install his offense. In the mean time I hope some of the lower echelon offense coaches are studying his methods very hard so that If some school or other steal him away to be a HC his ideology and methods will remain at UGA with some bright young up and coming coach already on staff !! Go Dawgs !!
Excellent post, but damaged by the knock on Kirby at the end.
Just saying...
Go, Dawgs!
