Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs signed a great one in five-star linebacker Mekhail Sherman. Sherman is a versatile linebacker who can play several different positions.
Sherman played football at St. John’s College High School and is from Washington, DC. At 6-3, 234 lbs, the five-star plays both inside and outside linebacker. Coaches covet versatility nowadays. Offenses are becoming more multiple and more versatile, so defenses are countering with more versatile players of their own.
Sherman looks like he could make an impact in Athens as a freshman:
Sherman frequently won at the line of scrimmage at the high school level. He showed good coverage skills and had some impressive highlights as a Junior (video per Hudl):
He joins a UGA defense loaded with five-stars. The Dawgs will lose seniors J.R. Reed, Tae Crowder, Tyler Clark, David Marshall, Michael Barnett and others to the NFL this season.
