This weekend Georgia will host Auburn with hopes of getting to 7-0 on the season as they head into their bye week next week. The Bulldogs are hoping they will dominate Auburn which they’ve done so many times over the years under Kirby Smart, but the dominance started a few days early this year as they just flipped three-star corner Nash Johnson from Auburn on Tuesday.

Johnson originally committed to Auburn on May 31, but he still showed interest in Georgia since then. He took an official visit to Athens in June and apparently his relationship with UGA grew from there because he officially flipped to Georgia on Tuesday.
Johnson is a three-star corner who is the No. 551 player in the country, according to 247Sports. He also is the No. 54 corner in the 2027 class and the No. 65 player from the state of Georgia as well.
Johnson is one of the lower ranked recruits in Georgia’s 2027 class, but that shouldn’t matter. If Smart thinks he’s good enough to play at Georgia then he probably is, and the fact UGA stole him from Auburn makes this win that much better.
This hopefully won’t be the only win over Auburn this week
This recruiting win over Auburn hopefully won’t be the last victory for Georgia this weekend. Georgia hosts Auburn on Saturday, Oct.17 in Sanford Stadium with hopes of beating the Tigers for the tenth time in a row…
