After coming to Georgia as one of the program's highest-rated recruits ever, making one of the program's most iconic plays, and leading the team to back-to-back championships, Kelee Ringo is officially off to the NFL.

The elite defensive back from Tacoma, Washington made the announcement on social media.

After arriving at Georgia as a 5-star prospect in 2020, Ringo had to work his way into a starting role after missing his freshman season while recovering from an offseason surgery. In 2021, Ringo played in all 15 games, becoming a starting corner early in the year. In the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship, Ringo returned an interception 79 yards to seal the win for Georgia over Alabama.

During the 2022 campaign, Ringo started every game for Georgia during their undefeated run to another National Championship. He finished the year with 42 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble recovery.

ESPN's Todd McShay has Kelee Ringo ranked as his 3rd overall corner back, and most mock drafts have Ringo going in the first round.
