Kelton Smith — 4-star, 6’5″, 300lbs OG

Georgia football is looking to sign a larger offensive line class in 2023, and the next name could be who joins this group next, as Kelton Smith is high on the radar.

This 4-star interior offensive lineman is big enough to play tackle, and that seems like the trend this class — finding guys who can play wherever the Dawgs need them to on that offensive line.

His size makes him versatile, but his footwork and hip flexibility allow him to succeed in the interior.

Smith visited Athens for an official visit on June 10th, which seemed to have gone exceptionally well. He keeps showing the Dawgs love, and after landing AJ Harris, Smith was quick to join in with a ‘Go Dawgs.’

A Georgia native, Smith is 6-5 and 300-pounds. According to 247Sports composite rankings, he is the No. 12 interior lineman and the No. 26 player out of Georgia.

This recruitment seems to be between the Dawgs and Florida State, but Georgia knocked it out of the park with his official visit. Smith will visit LSU and Texas A&M.

There isn’t a date for an FSU visit, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Smith goes down for one.

Georgia is the team to beat here, and Smith is someone else that could find a spot in this recruiting class sooner rather than later.
