Washington DB Smith nabs offers from UGA, Florida, several others | Football recruiting | ajc.com

Washington defensive back Brandon Smith has received several offers in the last couple weeks from Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Florida and Florida State, according to Bulldogs coach Rodney Cofield.

Smith, a 5-foot-10, 180-pounder, is being recruited as an athlete. He is also one of the city’s top sprinters on the school’s track and field team.

“Georgia was the first one to offer,” Cofield said. “He hasn’t made a decision yet. We haven’t gotten that far in the process yet.”

Georgia defensive back Reshad Jones was the last Division I player from Washington to sign with a major college. Jones was a AJC Super 11 selection prior to signing with the Bulldogs in 2006. Former Bulldogs linebacker Jarvis Jackson also played at Washington for Cofield.

“Georgia has been good for the hometown kids,” Cofield said. “Right now, we are just going through the schools and trying to get ready for our season.”

Smith runs the 100 and 200-meters for Washington’s track team and was timed at 4.4 in the 40-yard dash in a recent scouting combine.
