One of the top corners for 2017 has three SEC teams among his final five
Published:
William Poole, one of the top cornerbacks in the Class of 2017, has narrowed his list of favorites down to five and three of those are SEC programs.
The four-star cornerback from Atlanta, Ga., confirmed to SEC Country on Thursday that he’s down to Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State and Georgia.
Poole is the No. 11 cornerback in 2017, according to 247 Sports.
Poole seemed stoked to hear Georgia’s hiring of long-time Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart.
“The hiring of coach (Kirby) Smart is the news I’ve been waiting for,” Poole told SEC Country. “The guy is a defensive mastermind and he’s been under the best coach in the nation (Nick Saban). I’m sure he’ll know how to run it and get things done. The future is bright for UGA. I see national championships coming.”
