On Early Signing Period Eve, the Georgia Bulldogs reached into Louisiana and added four-star defensive back Major Burns to its 2020 class.
Burns (6’2″, 175-pounds), from Baton Rouge, had been an LSU commit since June 6. After an official visit to Athens last week, he de-committed and pledged to the Dawgs Tuesday morning.
Burns is rated the nation’s No. 11 safety and No. 5 athlete in the state of Louisiana. He’s long, physical and has that defensive back swagger. He joins UGA four-star commit Jalen Kimber (Arlington, TX) in the Dawgs’ future defensive backfield. Georgia is also seeking to sign the nation’s top cornerback, Kalee Ringo from Scottsdale, AZ and Shreveport (LA) defensive back Eric Reed this week.
Georgia’s current 17 commitments have the Bulldogs ranked nationally with the 6th-best recruiting class and No.4 in the SEC.
