Class of 2023 defensive line recruit Justin Benton has locked in his commitment date for June 18, 2022. Benton is a three-star recruit that plays high school football for Newton High School in Covington, Georgia.
Can Benton be the next great player out of Covington to commit to the Bulldogs? Benton could join four-star class of 2021 cornerback Nyland Green and Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes as recent Covington products to sign with Georgia.
The 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive line prospect would likely fit into Kirby Smart’s defensive system as a 3-4 defensive end. Benton previously played high school football for national powerhouse IMG Academy, which is located in Bradenton, Florida.
