Four-Star CB Tae Harris: Reopens Commitment
Harris, a four-seat recruit per 247Sports Composite, is the 27th-ranked corner in the upcoming class. He will reopen his recruiting with offers from Colorado, Kentucky, Florida, and Georgia Tech. The Georgia native plays his high school football at Cedartown. Harris recorded 87 carries for 421 yards and five touchdowns last season. He also caught ten passes for 221 and four scores. The junior added 44 tackles and a tackle for loss on defense. He also caused three fumbles.
Harris also runs track, owning a best of 10.73 in the 100-meter dash. 247Sports has the five-foot-ten, 180-pound corner as a frontrunner for the Florida Gators.
Georgia Bulldogs: Looking to Return to CFP
The Georgia Bulldogs entered the SEC Championship undefeated, eyeing a trip to a third College Football Playoff. However, they fell to the one-loss Alabama Crimson Tide, narrowly missing out on the four-team postseason field. Head coach Kirby Smart will look to post another stellar season next year. They return quarterback Carson Beck, who tossed 34 touchdowns to six picks in 2023. They have also done work in the transfer portal, snagging Florida Gators star running back Trevor Etienne. Georgia has swiped Vanderbilt wideout Ondon Humphreys, Alabama safety Jake Pope, and USC skill player Michael Jackson III.
Georgia would have made the CFP this season if they had played according to the 2024 rules. The postseason field expands to 12 teams next year, opening the door for more one-loss teams that fall in their conference championship to have a shot at the title.
