Two weeks ago, Hapeville Charter CB Chris Smith narrowed his 30 offers down to six schools, including Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State and South Carolina. On Monday, his 17th birthday, Smith cut to the list one, announcing his commitment to the Bulldogs.
“It really hit me Georgia was my school after my latest visit there,” Smith told Chad Simmons of Rivals.com. “My mom and my family were cool with me going to any of my top six schools, so that was kind of a clean slate for me, but Georgia is it for me.
“After visiting Georgia for their spring game, I knew that was where I wanted to go. All of the schools on my list are great schools and Georgia is one of the best, so why not go right down the road and play for the in-state school? They have everything I am looking for.”
On the 247Sports Composite, Smith is rated the No. 41 cornerback and No. 46 Georgia prospect in the 2018 class. He currently measures 5-foot-11, 169 pounds. Georgia now has three commitments in its 2018 class.
