Georgia Bulldogs’ senior safety Richard LeCounte was an insane athlete in high school. He earned a five-star rating as a football recruit and was no slouch on the basketball court either.
In fact, LeCounte won co-player of the year for his region as junior en route to leading his Liberty County Panthers to the 2016 GHSA Class AAAA state title. In the state championship game LeCounte helped limit stud recruit M.J. Walker (who just won the ACC with Florida State) and scored twenty points.
LeCounte was a legendary high school athlete. He even jumped for the team on this tip-off despite being only 5’11”:
LeCounte’s decision to return to Georgia is huge for the Bulldog secondary. LeCounte was contemplating declaring for the NFL Draft, but opted for another season in Athens.
Before coming to Athens, Lecounte threw down monster dunks in high school. He has trained with Georgia’s basketball team, but never suited up.
LeCounte is an all-around spectacular athlete, who can do back-flips with ease. He’ll hope to be doing more back-flips after next season at Georgia.
