Georgia Football’s Kirby Smart Lands Commitment From Top 247Sports Recruit

Five-Star Defensive Back Commits To Georgia

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart has landed a commitment from one of the top recruits in the country, according to 247Sports. Five-star defensive back Jaheim Oatis committed to the Bulldogs on Tuesday, choosing Georgia over Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson.

Oatis is a 6-foot-4, 325-pound defensive tackle from Alabama. He is ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle in the country and the No. 3 overall recruit in the 2024 class by 247Sports.

Oatis’ Commitment Is A Major Boost For Georgia’s Defense

Oatis is a major addition to Georgia’s defense, which is already one of the best in the country. The Bulldogs have won back-to-back national championships and are looking to make it three in a row in 2023.

Oatis is a versatile player who can play both defensive tackle and defensive end. He is a strong pass rusher and a solid run stopper. He is also a very good athlete for his size.

Oatis Is Just The Latest In A Long Line Of Great Recruits For Georgia

Oatis is just the latest in a long line of great recruits for Georgia. Smart has been one of the best recruiters in the country since he took over at Georgia in 2016.

In the 2023 class, Georgia signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. The Bulldogs also signed the No. 1 recruiting class in 2022 and 2021.

Georgia Is Now The Favorite To Win The National Championship In 2023

With the addition of Oatis, Georgia is now the favorite to win the national championship in 2023. The Bulldogs have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, and they are well-coached by Smart.

Georgia will open the 2023 season on Sept. 2 against the Tennessee Volunteers in Atlanta.
