The talented offensive lineman was rated the sixth-best player at his position in his class according to the 247Sports Composite.
Here’s what Richt had to say on National Signing Day about Seymour, who was originally a Georgia signee in 2013 before spending two years at Hinds Community College:
“Yeah, Devondre Seymour, it says 6’6″, 310, I’m not sure if it’s 310, it might be bigger than that. We call him “Scooter”. But very talented guy, and a guy that if I’m not mistaken will be coming in with three years to play three, and that’ll be great for us. You know, it’s been a little while, waiting for him to get in position to come back on campus, or to come to campus, but we’re very happy that he decided to stick with Georgia and is taking care of his.”
