Kirby Smart just wrapped up his first big recruiting weekend in Athens with his first public commitment. And it was a big one. Liberty County standout Richard LeCounte, ranked by 247Sports as the #1 athlete in the 2017 class, was coveted by every major program in the nation before pledging to the Bulldogs today.
It's a long time until Signing Day 2017, and LeCounte will continue to hear from those programs. Why?

A player who is faster than anyone else on the field and aggressively seeks out the endzone on every single play.
