UGA football is the favorite to sign five-star linebacker Smael Mondon. The Paulding County product is announcing his commitment in June.

In the UGA football defense, one of the most important positions is inside linebacker. Head coach Kirby Smart and the defensive staff love inside backers who can play sideline-to-sideline, backfield-to-downfield.
