Georgia football podcast: UGA, Texas A&M battle for top recruit as NIL rumors swirl.

Beginning of the show: Five-star defensive lineman Lebbeus Overton announced Thursday he was reclassifying from the 2023 class into the current recruiting cycle. Overton also announced Georgia as one of his final five schools. However, there is a common sentiment that UGA might not be the favorite in the recruiting battle given the presence of Texas A&M as another finalist for Overton.

I’ll discuss Overton’s situation on today’s show and explain why the Aggies recruitment of Overton is intensifying the rumors around how Texas A&M might be using NIL payments to entice prospects.

20-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show.

35-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including Alabama coach Nick Saban and Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s attempt to interject themselves into the NIL debate.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and share the Gator Hater Updater and the Gator Hater Countdown.
