Kirby Smart and his coaching staff continue to do the unthinkable out on the recruiting trail. On Tuesday, the team picked up two massive commitments from the transfer portal. Indeed, fans are jacked up.
First, former Clemson cornerback Derion Kendrick announced his commitment. Then, former LSU tight end Arik Gilbert also picked UGA. Whoa.
BREAKING: #UGA lands #LSU transfer Arik Gilbert. The former Gatorade player on the year tells me, he is ‘coming home’ and this was a ‘family decision’ in this exclusive interview on @Dawgs247.

Gilbert was the 2019 Gatorade Player of the Year in Georgia, but decided to sign with LSU over the Bulldogs. It was a rough loss for Smart, Now, though, Gilbert is ready to suit up for his home-state team after all. He'll make the move from tight end to receiver and have some massive expectations. He'll be ready to live up to it.
