As noted last week, Georgia has been hitting the recruiting trail looking for a quarterback for the class of 2017. While much of that work has gone on in the Peach State, Coach Smart and crew are also working outside the state's boundaries. One Alabama QB prospect offered by Mark Richt has continued to be recruited by the new staff.
Jake Bentley out of Opelika High is a 6'4, 215 pound junior who's ranked among the top players in the class of 2017. In his first full year as a starter Bentley put up impressive numbers, completing 58% of his passes for 28 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
