Georgia coach Kirby Smart scored another huge in-state recruiting win on Tuesday with the commitment from five-star defensive end Robert Beal, who sent another shockwave throughout the Peach State that Smart’s message since taking over in Athens was resonating.

“I’m just a home-grown guy,” Beal said. “I love my home, I love my state and I want to help bring a national championship back to Georgia.”

The No. 5-ranked prospect in the Class of 2017, and the top-rated prospect in Georgia, followed his announcement with a detailed interview with RecruitingNation on his decision to commit to Georgia over Florida State, Alabama, Texas and Notre Dame.
