ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia’s Dawg Night found top athletes from around the nation going head-to-head in Sanford Stadium on Friday night. The action was fast-paced under the bright lights. Some new faces tried to impress the Bulldogs’ coaching staff while other prospects tested themselves against new competitors. DawgNation has a list of five prospects that stood out with special performances.

2014 RB Stanley Williams (Monroe, Ga./Walton Academy): It was at last year’s Dawg Night that Williams’ performance earned a scholarship offer from Mark Richt. The rising sophomore pounced on it and committed on the spot. Williams returned to Sanford Stadium on Friday night and showed that such an early offer was warranted. The 5-foot-8, 189-pound tailback made many spectacular catches that had the other attendees cheering him on and teasing those who failed to cover him. On one play he caught a pass on a crossing pattern and outran two defenders, showcasing the speed for which he has become known.

2014 TE Milan Richard (Savannah, Ga./Calvary Baptist Day School): Richard had a great Mark Richt Camp in June and at Dawg Night he just picked up where he left off. No one could cover the young tight end and he wound up with catch after catch in the end zone. Bulldogs quarterback commit Brice Ramsey (Kingsland, Ga./Camden), who had a great night himself, mentioned that Richard really impressed him. No one could stop Richard coming off the line and he had great separation in almost every route. The highlight of his performance came on a pass where the ball came in behind him and over his head, yet Richard was able to haul it in for a touchdown.
