Kirby Smart and Georgia did not have a week to remember, losing commitments from two 2021 five-star recruits, defensive back Deyon Bouie and defensive tackle Bear Alexander.
But no matter how bad a week may be for Smart and UGA, he always finds a way to bounce back and reel in some of the nation’s top recruits … and still finish with a top-three recruiting class.
Smart wasted no time getting more elite prospects on campus, and that includes 2023 five-star defensive back A.J. Harris (Phenix City, Alabama).
In talking with DawgPost, Harris, the nation’s No. 23 overall player per 247Sports, said he had an “amazing” visit to Athens this week.
“I loved everything about today’s visit, but if I have to point something out it would be working out with coach Addae,” Harris told Dawg Post. “I like his coaching style. The whole coaching staff was basically with me the whole day. Coach Lanning, coach Smart, coach Addae, coach McGee, and two of the recruiting people named Angela and Bobby! Showed me AMAZING hospitality!”
According to DawgPost, Harris is priority target for Smart and UGA, and for good reason. The 6-foot-2 cornerback has 33 offers. Thankfully for Georgia, 247Sports predicts Harris to commit and sign with UGA.
