A key Tennessee Vols commit is reportedly set to visit the Georgia Bulldogs this weekend for the huge showdown between UT and UGA.
According to On3, 2025 four-star wide receiver Travis Smith Jr will visit Georgia on Saturday.
Smith, 6-foot-4/199 lbs from Atlanta, GA, has been committed to Tennessee since mid July. He's rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 17 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 14 player in the state of Georgia.
This will be Smith's first visit to Athens since he committed to Tennessee earlier this summer.
Georgia was one of the top teams that Tennessee had to beat out for Smith's commitment, so it's not a surprise that the Bulldogs are still taking a swing at the dynamic wide receiver from Atlanta.
Scouting report via 247Sports: Prototypical outside receiver build measuring around 6-foot-4, 200 pounds on multiple occasions with a plus wingspan. Has proven to be a matchup nightmare on the outside on Friday nights and combine settings against top-tier defensive backs as he can climb the ladder in contested catch scenarios or attack all areas of the field with an expanded route tree. Does not possess an elite top-end gear to separate from quicker defensive backs but has a knack for separating late while tracking the ball in the air. Crafty route runner at all three levels who can sink his hips with ease or use subtle head and body movements to cause defenders to guess incorrectly. At this stage of the evaluation process, Smith profiles as one of the higher-floor wideouts in the country and one of the better pass-catchers from the Deep South. Has a chance to contribute immediately at the Power Four level, but must continue to work on separating earlier in his routes to realize long-term NFL Draft upside.
Before Smith made his decision, he told On3 that once he committed to a school, his plan would be to stay committed.
“I’m trying to stay committed," said Smith in June. "That’s why it’s taking me so long to commit. Once I make this decision, that’s the decision."
It seems unlikely that Smith will seriously consider flipping to Georgia this late in the recruiting cycle, and it's certainly possible that he just wants to see the Vols/Bulldogs game up close, but it's still something worth monitoring for Tennessee fans.
