Garrison Smith (5 star DT) commits to UGA

The Georgia Bulldogs got a huge commitment tonight ($ premium) from Garrison Smith (6'3"+ and 250 lbs). Smith is an elite defensive tackle, and his videos on the Scout and Rivals network speak for themselves. When you watch the videos ($ premium), you see a player exploding past, through and over double teams...tossing blockers...and chasing down running backs 15 yards down the field.

He'll have to get bigger to play inside in Athens, but he's only about 15 pounds smaller than Jonathan Sullivan was at the same point in his career.

Academically, his Scout.com profile shows a self-reported 3.5 GPA and a 1280 SAT. Given the strength of his transcript and his brother being a former GT player, his commitment to UGA doesn't speak much to Paul Johnson's recruiting pitch. The Florida Gators were the other other finalist for Smith.

It's a helluva a recruiting year in Athens, and there only look to be about 4-5 slots left. I'm hoping they go to:

1 DT (#1 remaining priority)
1 CB
1 WR
1 RB
1 OL
