Georgia is beginning to pick up steam on the recruiting trail.

After landing five-star QB Jared Curtis to kick off the month, the Dawgs are at it again. This time, with an in-state blue-chipper.

Four-star safety Jordan Smith committed to Georgia on Mother’s Day.

The Dawgs had been in pole position for weeks leading into his reveal.

“Being from Georgia, I’ll be honest, it’s different growing up. Georgia is all you hear about,” Smith started. “I’ve gotten to talk with some of the new guys on the team since they’ve rolled in, some of the commits — and it’s different from where they came from before. I’m interested in that.”

No team had been pushing harder than the Dawgs, who beat Tennessee, Florida State, and Georgia Tech for the top-10 SAF in the country out of South Georgia.

“They hit me up all the time — the entire coach staff, Coach T-Rob,” Smith said. “They always keep up with me.”

The combination of Robinson and Kirby Smart and Donte Williams in the defensive back room has carried a ton of weight in Smith’s recruitment.

“They talked ball with me — about how someone like me fits the standard they’ve established and building there,” he continued. “The energy there stood out a lot to me … you could tell there is a strong village of stability there. They check a lot of boxes and I believe I can make an impact there for sure.”

“The one-on-one time was smooth — and I value that I’m a priority for them,” he said. “I know that energy plays a big role in their success as a program and that definitely makes them stand out to me.”
