Georgia football lost a recruiting battle with Auburn for Eric Reed.

Georgia has a had another stellar Early Signing Day.

Most things have gone Georgia’s way, however, the Bulldogs did just lose a recruiting battle with Auburn and Gus Malzahn for 4-star safety Eric Reed.

Reed, the nation’s 175th overall player out of Shreveport, Louisiana, chose Auburn over Georgia and LSU.

Luckily for Georgia, the Dawgs were able to pull off a big commitment from a different 4-star safety out of Louisiana, Major Burns, who signed today.

Alexander is picking between the three biggest powerhouses in the SEC at the moment: LSU, Alabama, and Georgia. Alexander would be an excellent fit an any other these schools with his excellent burst off the edge.

Georgia currently doesn’t have a commitment in the class of 2022. Despite this, the Dawgs have a very young commit from the class of 2023 in Treyaun Webb.
