2019 Recruiting: Bulldogs land elite defensive end, remain on top of the rankings

After reeling in the top recruiting class in America in 2018 I hope you didn’t expect Kirby Smart to take his foot off the gas.

The Bulldogs picked up another big commitment last weekend when Memphis (Christian Brothers) defensive end Bill Norton picked the Red and Black over offers from the likes of Ohio State, Alabama, Notre Dame, Penn State, and LSU. Ohio State had been a strong contender, but Norton built a strong relationship through the recruiting process with UGA defensive line coach Tray Scott. Scott and Norton’s high school position coach both learned their craft under legendary LSU defensive line coach (and Macon, Georgia native) Pete Jenkins.
