Many experts believe this Saturday’s game between No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Florida is going to be a competitive game. These are the top two teams in the SEC East and two of the top programs in the country this season.
Rivals.com recently asked some of the top high school recruits in the nation for their predictions for this crucial clash. And many of them also think this will be a close game. But when you’re talking to some future Gators and future Bulldogs, you may get some potentially biased answers.
Perhaps Justus Boone is just very confident in his future school, but his prediction for Saturday’s game was quite different from most. The 4-star defensive end from Sumter (S.C.) High School picked Florida to beat Georgia, 40-0.
The game hasn’t been played yet, so anything can happen. But there would be a lot of surprised people if either team wins by a margin that large.
Boone committed to Florida on Feb. 26. He is the No. 21 strong-side defensive end in the 2021 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, as well as the No. 2 recruit from South Carolina.
Florida and Georgia are set to kick off at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
