Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has managed to flip a big-time prospect each cycle, with wide receiver Riley Ridley from South Carolina in 2016, linebacker Monty Rice from LSU in 2017, offensive lineman Cade Mays from Tennessee, linebacker Quay Walker from Alabama, and safety Otis Reese from Michigan in 2018, and wide receiver George Pickens from Auburn in the last cycle. This cycle the trend continued, as Calabasas (Calif.) four-star wide receiver Jermaine Burton announced on Wednesday, the first day of the 72-hour Early Signing Period, that he had flipped his commitment from LSU and intends to sign with Georgia.

Burton has been committed to the Tigers since April but he took a trip to UGA prior to the Texas A&M game on his own dime in November and he made an official visit to Athens this past weekend, the last recruiting weekend before the start of the NCAA's Early Signing Period. At 6-foot-1 190 pounds, Burton is ranked as the nation's No. 52 overall prospect and the No. 8 wide receiver per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. He's the No. 6 overall prospect in the Golden State.

A very tough, physical player who loves to block and plays with a nice edge in his game. Has the strength to get off press and uses his body well to create separation. Can bully opposing corners and plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder that rubs some the wrong way but teammates love him. Very nice package of size, speed, hands and play making ability. Can line up anywhere on the field and is among the most versatile pass catchers in the class. Has plus speed and is both dynamic after the catch and able to run past an opposing corner. Has strong hands and does a nice job catching the ball in traffic. Is also a very good return man and should be able to contribute early on as a punt/kick returner. Has all the tools to be a dominant player at the next level and is a natural talent with tremendous upside. Projects as an impact, upper-tier Power 5 starter and future high-round NFL draft pick. -- Greg Biggins, 247Sports

Burton is the third four-star wideout for the Bulldogs in the 2020 class and he'll be the third-ranked inside the top 100. Marcus Rosemy (St. Thomas Aquinas; Ft. Lauderale, Fla.) is ranked No. 41 overall and No. 7 wide receiver nationally. Arian Smith, who announced his commitment to Georgia over Alabama earlier in the day, is the nation's No. 72 overall player and No. 14 wideout. Justin Robinson (Eagles Landing Christian Academy; McDonough, Ga.) is America's No. 291 overall prospect and the No. 48 wide receiver.

The Bulldogs currently have 18 commitments in the 2020 class and 15 of those prospects have signed their National Letters of Intent. Other than Burton, the only two who haven't, offensive linemen Broderick Jones (Lithonia; Lithonia, Ga.) and Sedrick Van Pran (Warren Easton; New Orleans, La.) don't plan to sign until February 5.
