Kirby Smart has already put together a very impressive career. He has led Georgia to countless big wins, multiple championships and has sent many players on to the NFL where they have had successful careers.
Smart has also won countless awards that would make any coach extremely proud, but the trophy case he is putting together for himself is as impressive as it gets. On Saturday he will add to his collection of awards as he will be inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame.

Kirby Smart set to be inducted into the Georgia Football High School Hall of Fame
Georgia is on their second bye week of the season this weekend, so this was the perfect opportunity for Smart to be inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame. Smart, along with 32 others, will receive this great honor on Saturday.
Smart played his high school football at Bainbridge High School in southwest Georgia before heading to Athens where he had a very successful career at Georgia in college. So it's clear that Smart's football roots began in the Peach State, so it's only fitting that he is finding all the success he has at the University of Georgia.
Also being inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend alongside Smart is Cam Newton. Smart and Georgia just got done defeating Auburn on the night the Tigers retired Newton's jersey, so that could be an interesting dynamic between the two.
Smart deserves every award that could be given to him. He had a very solid career as a player in the state of Georgia, but he is finding even more success as a coach nowadays. But even though he is a college coach now, he still does so much for the high school football community to help prop up schools across the state.
So while Georgia will enjoy their week off this weekend, Smart will be receiving an honor that no one deserves more than him.
