Four-star wide receiver recruit Chandler “CJ” Smith is ready to make a decision on where he will play college football. The talented wide receiver prospect will decide between Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Arkansas.

The four-star wide receiver prospect runs track. Smith runs a blazing fast 100-meter dash. He ran a personal-best of 10.28 second this year, which is not far behind the fastest player on Georgia’s roster (Arian Smith, who runs track for UGA).

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs offered Smith a scholarship on May 5th. Chandler Smith, who is favored to commit to UGA, will be committing on Dec. 14 at noon EST.

Smith announced his commitment date and time via his Twitter account:

Chandler Smith originally committed to Florida, but decommitted from the Gators a few weeks after Florida fired head coach Dan Mullen.

You can’t teach Smith’s speed. He is an elite athlete. Smith has one of the best 200-meter times in the country.

Smith has earned several honors for being a great track and field athlete:
