Kirby Smart explains what to look for in scouting: ‘Sign the ones that can’t stand losing’

Georgia lost a good chunk of its starters from last season’s National Championship victory, added just 1 player in the transfer portal and turned around to win another. The Bulldogs won by recruiting and development, plain and simple.
Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart explained which players to look out for in recruiting Tuesday morning following the championship win.
And he brings up a good point:
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart on scouting players: “The difference in these two [Javon Bullard and Brock Bowers] is these hate to lose. These guys HATE to lose against each other day in and day out … Sign the ones that can’t stand losing”

Can’t argue with that logic.
Javon Bullard and Brock Bowers are perfect examples of that, and they haven’t done a lot of losing in college so far. Bullard won defensive MVP for his 3 forced turnovers, while Bowers hauled in 7 receptions for 152 yards and a touchdown in a spectacular performance.
Both will return for the Bulldogs next season.
