There's a new No. 1 prospect in the country on 247Sports. Georgia commitment Nolan Smith (Savannah, Ga./IMG Academy) moved from No. 2 to the top spot in the updated Top247 Thursday.

"That is great, I guess you could say," Smith said. "The target on my back just got bigger than it already is. The people at The Opening all wanted to get reps in against me. Now, I can look forward to getting everyone's best this season. 'To whom much is given, much will be required from him.'"

Smith is coming off winning the Nike Football Rating Championship at The Opening Finals, earning the title of the nation's most athletic high school football player in Frisco, Texas, where 163 of the top prospects in the country came to compete two weeks ago.

The Bulldogs' verbal commitment measured in at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds. He proceeded to run a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, 42.2-inch vertical jump, 4.08 short shuttle, and 44.5-foot Powerball throw. That was good for a 141.75 football rating. Smith followed that up by backing down from a high number of competitive reps.

"I thought I did alright," Smith said. "My day 2. I felt like on Day three, making it to the final 5 was better, but I still have plenty to improve on. I did not want to use the same moves I normally do, because I want to better myself and having a more complete repertoire makes you a better pass rusher, just like a pitcher with three or four pitches instead of one or two."

Smith committed to Georgia over Alabama and Clemson on Jan. 29, 2017.

"Kirby Smart can push you to a whole new level," Smith said at The Opening. "And now that he is at Georgia, Alabama has a hard time getting Georgia players that Georgia wants. If he was still at Alabama, Coach Smart would be the reason I go to Alabama. He understands Georgia kids, he is from Georgia, and he played at a high level at Georgia. If you go to the facility at Georgia, you will see his name up there.

"That was kind of shocking for me. So when he came to Georgia, you see they are now a place for Georgia kids where they can stay home, get to the next level."

The Bulldogs currently have 10 commits this cycle — five-star wide receiver Jadon Haselwood(Ellenwood, Ga./Cedar Grove), five-star edge Nolan Smith (Savannah, Ga./IMG Academy), five-star wide receiver Dominick Blaylock (Marietta, Ga./Walton), four-star offensive tackle Xavier Truss, four-star inside linebacker Trezmen Marshall (Homerville, Ga./Clinch County), four-star defensive lineman Bill Norton(Memphis, Tenn./Christian Brothers), four-star cornerback Jalen Perry(Dacula, Ga./Dacula), four-star tight end Ryland Goede (Acworth, Ga./Kennesaw Mountain), four-star linebacker J.D. Bertrand (Roswell, Ga./Blessed Trinity), and four-star quarterback John Rhys Plumlee (Hattiesburg, Miss./Hattiesburg). Georgia's class is ranked No. 15 overall and sixth in the Southeastern Conference in the 247Sports Team Rankings, although the .9516 rating per commitment remains best in the country. The Bulldogs are expected to sign over 20 prospects this cycle.

"People are sleeping on our class, but the guys we are bringing in are really talented," Smith said. "We know they can play. And the ones who join them will be elite and they will be talking about this class on signing day and again three years from now as being truly special."
