Georgia lands top 150 prospect offensive tackle Michael Uini
The Georgia Bulldogs just got bigger upfront in the Class of 2024 with the commitment of four-star offensive tackle Michael Uini of Copperas Cove, Texas’ Copperas Cove High School.
A 6-foot-7, 335-pound offensive line prospect, Uini becomes Georgia’s twenty-second commitment of the cycle.
Uini spent his official visit to Athens on the June 23 weekend, which shifted his recruitment heavily.
Following the trip, he shared his thoughts on the Bulldogs.
“I like the way coach (Stacy) Searels develops players and the way he’s able to put them in the league. They have one of the best rosters in the nation, not just on the o-line, but as a team, as a whole. Being able to make it to the national championship two times in a row is impressive,” Uini told On3’s Chad Simmons.

On3 Scouting Report on Michael Uini
“Shows flashes of dominance. A light-footed mover when working to the second level. Naturally redirects laterally in pass protection. Shows substantial natural punch in hands. Can stun and neutralize defensive linemen with a quick jolt. Runs his feet on contact and can drive defenders at will. Shows glimpses of high-end upside but needs to put it all together. Can to improve awareness and technique in pass protection, as he surrendered some sacks as a junior. Could also ratchet up his physicality and improve overall consistency on a play to play basis. Plays basketball for his high school team and shows the athleticism to dunk flat-footed. Older for the cycle, turning 18 in the spring of his junior year.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings on Michael Uini
