Richard LeCounte III to Georgia: Bulldogs Land 5-Star ATH Prospect

The 5-star recruit broke the news himself on Twitter with a graphic to signify his impending arrival in Athens:

LeCounte is a product of Liberty County High School in Hinesville, Georgia. He is rated as the top athlete prospect and No. 22 overall player in 247Sports' composite rankings for the Class of 2017.

There's a reason LeCounte garners the "athlete" designation as a recruit. He can do it all on the gridiron.

Whether it's lining up at safety and making plays in coverage, coming up to support the run with big hits or making opposing defenses look silly as an offensive playmaker or return man, LeCounte is truly a special player.
