Will be interesting to see how two five-star recruits – TE Isaac Natua and athlete Mecole Hardman – respond to the Smart hiring. The two Georgia natives and top targets of both Michigan and Georgia, have visited Alabama together earlier this year.
Alabama, meanwhile, is reportedly looking to hire Jeremy Pruitt, Georgia’s previous defensive coordinator, to replace Smart. Harmdan sent out the following tweet Tuesday night:
UGA gets Kirby Smart 🤔👀😏🐶
