UGA football adds West Virginia transfer Tykee Smith

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed a major college football transfer in West Virginia safety Tykee Smith. New Georgia defensive backs coach Jahmile Addae helped Georgia secure a commitment from the talented safety, who will be immediately eligible to play.

Jahmile Addae served as the defensive backs coach at West Virginia for two seasons before leaving for Athens, Georgia. Smith and Addae have a good relationship from their previous time together.

Kirby Smart knew the secondary would be a weakness for Georgia, so he addressed the need with one of the top players in the NCAA transfer portal.
