While the Georgia Bulldogs may have missed out on one elite receiver Sunday, Kirby Smart and company rebounded just fine with the commitment of Trey Blount just hours later.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Blount is currently rated as a 2017 four-star prospect by 247Sports and holds scholarship offers from over 25 programs including Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Notre Dame and Oregon.
