Nation's No. 1 DL names Georgia football among top schools

Georgia football may be getting ready for a top-5 clash with Clemson in a couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean recruiting stops.

On Wednesday, the Bulldogs made the top-12 schools for one of the best players in the country in five-star defensive lineman Lebbeus Overton.

Overton, out of Milton High School in Alpharetta, Ga., is rated as the No. 1 defensive lineman in the nation, the No. 1 player in the state of Georgia and the No. 2 prospect overall in the 2023 recruiting class, per 247Sports Composite.

Overton (6-foot-5, 265 pounds) will choose among Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson, LSU, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, USC and Florida.
