Andrew Smart, who is Kirby Smart's son, is beginning to make a name for himself. Andrew will only be a freshman in high school this fall, but he is already starting to rack up some scholarship offers.
These offers aren't coming from small schools though because Georgia Tech was the most recent school to offer him a scholarship.
It doesn't sound like the Yellow Jackets will be the last school to offer him either as Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, who was an assistant under Smart at Georgia for two years, just publicly sang his praises.
“I think he’s legit,” Syracuse head coach Fran Brown said via dawgnation.com. “I’ve been watching him play for some years now, and he can really do it. I’m excited for him.”
Brown then took it one step further and said that he needs to offer him as soon as possible.
“I’m going to offer him, I’ve got to call Kirby to do that,” said Brown.
Andrew Smart could give Georgia an inside track to landing an elite quarterback
It will be awhile until rankings come out for the 2030 recruiting class, but at this point it feels like Andrew will be there. It's impossible to say how high he will be ranked, but if he is getting Power Four scholarship offers before beginning his freshman year then that is a good sign that he could be ranked pretty high.
Could he be a five-star recruit? That's probably a bit unlikely because only a couple quarterbacks each year are five-stars, but he probably has a good chance to be a four-star. And if that's the case it's hard to imagine a scenario where Smart doesn't want his son to come play for him at Georgia.
Many people might think Georgia would have a huge advantage over everyone else to land Andrew, and they may be right, but there's a world where he decides that he doesn't want to come to Georgia at all.
Andrew Smart will eventually have a massive decision to make
If Andrew comes to Georgia then all anyone would talk about his entire career is how he is playing for his dad. Even if he becomes one of the best players in the country he would always be attached to his dad in some manner, and that may be something he wants to avoid.
There are countless examples every year of recruits choosing to go to different schools from where one of their parents played at. They do this because they want to create their own individual legacy, and it's hard to blame them for that.
It would be a bit different for Andrew though because he would have a chance to play for his dad, and that is something only a couple people can say they've done in college football. And of those players no one has actually won anything of significance while playing for their dad.
Andrew will have a tough decision to make. Will he want to play for his dad or will he want to create his own legacy at a different school? There are pros and cons to both, but he needs to keep improving over the next few years before this "dilemma" will even exist.
