The Georgia Bulldogs have a bye this week, which gives the coaching staff a chance to check out some of the top high school talent around the country.
Kirby Smart didn’t have to travel far.
On Friday night, Smart arrived at Dacula High School to watch a road game for the Buford Wolves, which boasts Georgia five-star quarterback pledge Dylan Raiola, key five-star safety target (and Florida State commit) K.J. Bolden and class of 2025 Georgia four-star linebacker pledge Jadon Perlotte:
Raiola has never seemed to be in danger of flipping.
The former Arizona product transferred to Buford in the offseason and has been a staple at Georgia since his commitment.
Still, it’s… well, smart… to check in on arguably the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the class of 2024.
As for Bolden and Perlotte, the linebacker has said they are a “package deal,” despite being committed to different programs and being in different classes.
Could one, or both, prospects change landing spots before its all said and done?
Smart will likely do his best to make it happen.
Of course, it’s important to note that Buford is a football factory that boasts several elite prospects up and down the roster.
Securing that in-state pipeline is significant for the Bulldogs.
