In landing 2017 4-star athlete Devonta Smith, Georgia head coach Mark Richt and his staff were able to pluck an elite talent out of fellow SEC heavyweight LSU’s backyard.
However, the Bulldogs may not be done in their pursuit of top prospects from the Pelican State.
As Smith told Kipp Adams of Dawgs247, he’s close friends with 2016 4-star corner and Kentwood, Louisiana, product Shyheim Carter—who announced he was backing off a commitment to Alabama on Monday.
"Shyheim is like my brother—we have known each other since we were little," Smith told Adams.
