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.

4-star safety commits to Georgia

Kirby Smart and Georgia football lock down 2020 DB commit, flipped from LSU.

The Georgia Bulldogs have just locked down the #11 safety of the class of 2020, Major Burns.

Burns is a 6’2″, 176 lb wide-framed DB out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The highly sought after safety de-committed from his hometown LSU Tigers this week and visited with Kirby Smart and staff just days after.

Burns announced over twitter on Tuesday that he has officially committed to the G.

This is a huge addition for Kirby as he will look to replace the likes of J.R. Reed and Richard LeCounte in the Bulldog’s secondary.

Burns had notable offers from LSU, Florida, Oklahoma and Texas A&M, but dropped them all for the Dawgs.  This is one of the many bombshells that will be dropped within the next two days and is a huge win for the Dawgs.
