Of course, Kirby Smart doesn’t like to just have bad news. Before Saturday was over, UGA’s 2018 class was back to 2 players when the #1 kicking prospect committed to Georgia.

Jake Camrada is one of the most exciting special team prospects in the country for 2018. He’s not only the #1 rated kicker in the nation, he’s also the #4 rated punting prospect. He tweeted the following on Saturday night:

Special teamers don’t often excite fans but its a big win for UGA. Kohl’s the kicking and punting scouting service had the following quotes:

"Camarda had a dominant performance at the 2017 Underclassman Challenge. He is impressive in his refinement and his ability. He can directional punt with power and has great confidence his punting mechanics. One of the most impressive punters we have seen at the high school level. He is ready to start at a Power 5 school right now. He has D1 ability in his field goals and kickoffs as well, cleaning up contact will help him maximize his leg speed and power. His leg is flat out superior to most kids in his class. Camarda attended the 2016 NSC in Wisconsin. Once again Jake showed why he is the number 1 punter in the nation for the 2018 class with an average of 55+ yards from the charting portions of camp. His leg speed up and through the football is unmatched in his class."
