Georgia football misses out on 4-star Suwanee LB Barrett Carter

Georgia football missed out on 4-star OLB Barrett Carter.

On Tuesday, 2021 4-star outside linebacker Barrett Carter announced his commitment on FOX 5 Atlanta.

The Suwanee, Georgia native (North Gwinnett High School) made it known that he would be attending Clemson.

In February, Carter released a list of his top-11 schools and Georgia was included.

Also making the list was Auburn, Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Georgia Tech, Florida, Duke, Oklahoma and Ohio State. And of course, Clemson.

247Sports has Carter (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) ranked as the nation’s No. 56 player overall, the No. 4 outside linebacker and the No. 6 player in Georgia.

247Sports analysts had been projecting Carter to land at Clemson for the past month.

For the 2021 cycle, Georgia has the nation’s No. 19 ranked class, but is clearly going for quality over quantity.

On 247Sports’ team rankings, Georgia’s seven commitments carry an average rating of 94.54, one of the highest in the country. Tennessee, which has the nation’s second ranked class with 22 commits, has an average player rating of 89.62.

Give Kirby Smart some time and he’ll work his magic. There’s no reason to believe Georgia won’t finish with a top-three class. 247Sports has three of the top-11 prospects in America projected to signing with the Dawgs. And that is not including 5-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff, the No. 12 overall player, who has been committed to Georgia since January.
