Georgia Bulldogs defensive back William Poole came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit. Poole redshirted last season (he played against Murray State, Arkansas State, and Georgia Tech).
He saw more playing time a sophomore in 2018. That season he played in eight games and secured ten total tackles.
Poole and fellow UGA defensive back Christopher Smith were teammates at Hapeville Charter. Both players will face a lot of competition at the defensive back position this upcoming season.
Georgia is stacked in the secondary. The Dawgs have Eric Stokes, DJ Daniel, Tyson Campbell, Kelee Ringo, Divaad Wilson, Mark Webb, and more at cornerback. Georgia’s defense will be elite once again next season. Dan Lanning and company already had a stifling defense in 2019. The Dawgs may be even better next year.
