Georgia's best RB recruit includes UGA football in his top schools

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top four schools for four-star running back recruit Andrew Beard, who is a member of the class of 2027. Beard's top four schools are the Clemson Tigers, Florida Gators, Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia.

Beard plans to visit each of his top schools over the upcoming months. He has a May 29 visit with Clemson, a June 4 visit to Florida, a June 12 visit to Georgia and a June 19 visit to Tennessee.

Beard is a local recruit for UGA and coach Kirby Smart. He is a key in-state target in the rising senior class and plays high school football for Prince Avenue Christian School in Bogart, Georgia, which a short drive from Athens. Beard plays for the same high school former Georgia quarterback Brock Vandagriff played at.

The 5-foot-9, 200-pound running back is ranked as the No. 63 player in America, per 247Sports. He's the No. 6 prospect in Georgia and the No. 4 running back in the nation.

The Prince Avenue standout attended the Georgia-Alabama game during the fall. Beard is the Peach State's top running back in the class of 2027.

Georgia running backs coach Josh Crawford recently visited the elite running back prospect. The Bulldogs will look to land a commitment from Beard after his visits in a few months. Georgia already has a commitment from five-star class of 2027 running back recruit Kemon Spell.
