UGA Football Recruiting: January Visits, Prospects To Watch

UGA football recruiting visits and names to watch as National Signing Day approaches.

It has begun. The Kirby Smart era in Athens, Ga. is underway, and it’s off to a hot start.

In seemingly no time at all, Smart went from helping the Crimson Tide reach the College Football Playoff, to landing a couple of 5-star recruits for Georgia, to helping Alabama win the national championship.

But now Smart’s all Bulldog, and there is plenty of work to be done in order to make sure his first class lands in the top five.

To do that he’ll have to convince recruits that Athens is going to be a place for them to grow and develop their skills as football players and men.

He’ll have plenty of prospects to host between now and National Signing Day. Below are the January visits scheduled for UGA.
