Georgia football rumors: Jeremiah Smith visits, KJ Bolden prediction and RB exits the transfer portal

Georgia predicted to land five-star safety KJ Bolden

Even without Jeremiah Smith on board, Georgia has an outstanding recruiting class ranking No. 2 in the 247Sports composite team rankings. And they’re looking to get even better.

On Sunday, the Bulldogs got a Crystal Ball prediction from Steve Wiltfong in the recruitment of five-star safety KJ Bolden.

Bolden is the No. 11 player and the top safety in the class. He was in Athens for the annual Georgia scavenger hunt weekend and he’ll be back on June 9 for an official visit.

“I have visited Georgia a lot throughout my high school career, but today gave me a feeling that this could be home for the next three to four years,” Bolden told Chad Simmons of On3.

As the No. 3 player in the state of Georgia, Bolden has to be a priority for the Bulldogs but even if he wasn’t from Kirby Smart’s backyard he’d be a coveted prospect.

Georgia has commitments from Dylan Raiola and cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, the No. 1 and No. 4 players in the class. They’re working on flipping Smith and they’re the Crystal Ball leader for No. 6 overall player Ryan Wingo, a wide receiver out of St. Louis. Adding Bolden to the mix would only help build a potentially legendary class.
