Here is a look at Nichols’ sophomore year tape (via Hudl):
Kirby Smart and Georgia football are off to a strong start with the class of 2024. However, Michigan and Ohio State have surpassed Georgia, who now has the nation’s third-ranked class of 2024. The 2024 cycle is packed with talent in Georgia, so the Bulldogs have a good chance to reclaim the recruiting crown.
