The Georgia Bulldogs have yet another elite running back heading to Athens next fall, in the form of 5-star prospect John Emery Jr. out of Louisiana.
On Friday night, Emery showed why he’s the No. 2 running back in the class of 2019, running for three touchdowns to lead his team to a 41-15 victory.
As you can see below, Emery flashes speed and strength while making his way to pay dirt on three separate occasions:

According to the 247Sports composite, Emery is the No. 2 running back in the class of 2019 and the No. 3 overall recruit from the state of Louisiana.
If Emery stays with his commitment to Georgia, he could join a loaded backfield next season, with D’Andre Swift, Zamir White and James Cook. The Bulldogs know how to find top backs, and Emery could be the next in a long line of UGA greats.
