Georgia football commit bumped from 4-star to 5-star by 247Sports

He plans on visiting Auburn next weekend, Georgia’s biggest threat.

UGA football among four-star RB Lovasea Carroll’s SEC heavy top five

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top five for 2021 four-star running back Lovasea Carroll, who plays at IMG Academy in Florida.

Will Carroll be the next back at UGA? He announced his latest edition of his top schools today:

Carroll’s top eight of Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Mississippi State was SEC heavy. He’s now trimmed Mississippi State, Tennessee, Alabama and Penn State from the list. He added the South Carolina Gamecocks to the mix as well.

Perhaps the 2021 RB wants to stay close to home? Regardless, Carroll will play against top competition in his time at IMG Academy.

Georgia’s class of 2021 features a mere two commits at the moment. The Dawgs will look to add numerous commits to both their 2020 and 2021 classes. For now, Kirby Smart and company are focusing more on filling up the remainder of the 2020 class, which is in the top five of classes nationwide. UGA has one RB signed in the class of 2020 in Kendall Milton.
