Everette ranks as the nation’s No. 29 overall player and No. 6 cornerback, per 247Sports’ Composite Rankings.
He becomes Georgia’s 27th commitment and allowed UGA to regain the No. 1 ranked class and pass Alabama.
Everette is also Georgia’s fourth 5-star commit in this class.
Georgia now has three five-star defensive backs ready to sign: Everette, Malaki Starks and Jaheim Singletary. Additionally, Georgia has commitments from four-star cornerbacks Julian Humphrey and Marquise Groves-Killebrew, plus four-star safety JaCorey Thomas.
