Former Notre Dame and Vanderbilt defensive back Micah Bell committed to Georgia, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Bell is the younger brother of Georgia WR Dillon Bell. He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining, per Fawcett.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Bell was a four-star recruit out of Houston (Texas) The Kinkaid School, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 48 overall prospect in the state, the No. 32 cornerback in the class and the No. 265 overall prospect in the class.

Bell comes to a team coming off a rough College Football Playoff loss. Georgia got handled by Notre Dame in the quarterfinals and even ESPN’s Paul Finebaum called them the new Alabama.

“In the end, the SEC Championship Game did Georgia no favors. Not only did the Dawgs lose Carson Beck, they ended up with a tougher draw. If they had the same path as Texas — playing Clemson, we know how that would’ve turned out. Arizona State was probably the surprise to me. It was easy to be dismissive of them, even though they’d played well. I think Georgia would’ve gotten through that game, as well,” Finebaum said, regarding Georgia’s CFP experience this season, via McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning. “In the end, it really doesn’t matter. Georgia became the new Alabama. By losing to Notre Dame, it became the national narrative, and certainly the way it happened played into that.

“This is not an excuse. It’s just a point of reference, that I think — everybody now, looking back at that game, what was on Kirby Smart’s mind had to be very heavy, knowing what was going on with his dad. He wouldn’t make an excuse, and nobody would, but certainly, in my mind, it affects my thought process a little bit, in terms of how he managed that game.”
