Kirby Smart on 2020 QB recruiting: 'We had a pool of 30-40 guys'

After Georgia football landed college football’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class, head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media about why he recruited each position group the way that he did.

What Smart said about the quarterback position was interesting.

The coaches were aware that they were at risk of losing Jake Fromm to the NFL Draft, so they knew they’d have to either recruit a high school kid or find a transfer from another school.

The Georgia football staff did both, brining in 4-star QB Carson Beck and Wake Forest graduate transfer Jamie Newman.
