Georgia's top recruit is cornerback Deangelo Gibbs who plays for Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia. He is the No. 2 cornerback in the class of 2017 and No. 11 overall player in the country according to 247Sports. He is being heavily recruited by the Bulldogs, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee and Ohio State. Gibbs said that he anticipates coach Kirby Smart bringing a lot of success to Athens in the coming years.

"They are on me hard," Gibbs told 247Sports recruiting analyst Justin Hopkins. "I like them a lot. They are recruiting me very hard. Kirby Smart is coming in and recruiting the state hard, he is from down there in Georgia. I am from Georgia - it is in my backyard. I can go there anytime.
"Kirby Smart is building something special at Georgia, and in a couple of years, I think he will get the Bulldogs that championship."
Gibbs hasn't said when he will announce his decision, but it is believed that UGA is the leader with the Volunteers behind them in the pecking order. He will be taking part in the finals of "The Opening" next month in Oregon.
