Kirby Smart and company have a huge week ahead in regards to Georgia football recruiting. The Dawgs have their sights set on a few big-time recruits that are taking official visits to Athens in the upcoming days… seven of them to be exact. Kirby has not missed a beat since becoming a full time Bulldog on Monday night. The recruiting trail will be relentless on the way to National Signing Day on February 3rd. Let’s take a look at UGA’s main targets taking official visits in the very near future.

Of the seven recruits taking official visits, only one of them is a three star recruit leaving the remaining six as four and five stars. The three star WR recruit Tyler Simmons is currently an Alabama commit, but has recently been visited by UGA staff, and is taking an official visit to Athens. He could add some needed depth to Georgia’s receiving corps. Smart also has his sights set on another WR who is currently undecided. Tre’ Nixon is a four star recruit out of Florida, who has received interest from several other schools but has only officially visited UGA. This is a promising sign for the Dawgs. Nixon isn’t the only undecided recruit taking an official visit to Athens, though.

The two other undecided recruits are both five star defensive talent. Brian Burns and Lyndell “Mack” Wilson are both listed as OLB recruits, and Burns can also play DE. Burns has a few connections to UGA that give Kirby an edge in the recruiting process. Burns went to the same high school as current and former Bulldogs Isaiah McKenzie, Sony Michel, and Marshall Morgan. Burns will decide between Georgia, Florida, and Florida State. Burns is an easy recruit when compared to Wilson. Wilson seems to be a package deal with Jaewon Taylor, another recruit taking an official visit to Georgia this week. Taylor is a four star DB currently committed to Florida. Taylor and Wilson both hail from Montgomery, Alabama and are very close. Luckily for Georgia, the two are taking a duel visit to Athens. Taylor recently expressed disappointment with Florida’s coaching changes which also favors Georgia’s outlook. Kirby has a full plate this week with new recruits, but he still has a couple more to take care of this week.

There are two UGA commits taking their official visits this weekend as well. Four star RB Elijah Holyfield and four star TE/WR Charlie Woerner are both in Athens this week. Even though they are both committed to Georgia, Kirby must make sure to cater to them in order to solidify their commitment. This is yet another task to add to Kirby’s full schedule, but the Georgia faithful shouldn’t worry considering he managed to recruit exceedingly well while working two jobs. If he can land five star TE Isaac Nauta while preparing Bama for the National Championship, he should be able to take care of seven recruits.

Kirby’s recruiting job doesn’t end at official visits. He will also be making several in-house visits with potential Georgia targets in the coming weeks. It also helps that Kirby has an incredible staff to assist him along the recruiting trail. If the Dawgs manage to land some of the big names taking official visits this week, they will be in great shape coming down the stretch, and by the time National Signing Day comes around, expect UGA’s 2016 recruiting class to be much stronger than it already is.
