Georgia football coach Kirby Smart discusses importance of 'character' in recruiting

Georgia landed the nation’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class for the 2020 cycle, making that the second time in three years that Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have done so.

For Kirby, the talent level of a player he is recruiting is obviously a big deal, but to him nothing is as important as getting a player of high character.

Kirby spoke about that in detail during his signing day press conference.

“It should never be the only thing, but it’s definitely the most important thing,” Smart said, referring to a player’s character.
