CFN ranks top 30 SEC players for 2020: #4…UGA S Richard LeCounte

Pete Fiutak of College Football News recently released a list of the top-30 players in the SEC for the 2020 college football season.

Georgia placed five players on the list:

#30 – RB Zamir White

#29 – QB Jamie Newman

#19 – LB Monty Rice

#17 – WR George Pickens

No. 4 – Georgia S Richard LeCounte

LeCounte, who ranks No. 4 on the list, is one of America’s top ranked safety prospects for the 2021 NFL Draft. Through three seasons, two of which saw him as a full-time starter, LeCounte has racked up 150 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, five interceptions, six pass breakups, five fumble recoveries, and four forced fumbles. LeCounte has established himself as a playmaker on Georgia’s elite defense. Georgia had the top-ranked scoring defense in the nation last season. LeCounte does lose his partner in crime at the safety position, J.R. Reed, though. He’ll miss Reed, but now he’s ready to run the back-end of UGA’s defense. The former five-star recruit has forced a combined nine turnovers over the last two seasons. LeCounte recorded the second most interceptions in the SEC last season with four. He recovered the most fumbles (three) in the league as well. It’ll be a pleasure to watch his last season between the hedges.
