Kayin Lee: Why he decided to become a Georgia Bulldog

Lee went up to Ohio State this summer and clocked a pair of laser 40-yard dashes at 4.41 and 4.46 seconds. The decision here basically came down to both the Bulldogs and the Buckeyes.

Ohio State has a tremendous reputation for placing its elite defensive backs into the first round of the NFL Draft. The Buckeyes have placed seven of their starters into the first round since 2014.

Georgia has now seen two of its defensive backs (Deandre Baker and Eric Stokes) chosen in the first round since Kirby Smart arrived in 2016. Tyson Campbell was also a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

How did Georgia earn the commitment here?

“I’m really trying to focus on the rest of my season and get my mind right and get my focus off on my recruiting,” Lee said. “Georgia it is close to home. I feel I can go up there and play real early to be able to develop well as a defensive back with coach [Jahmile] Addae and with coach [Kirby] Smart being with the defensive backs a lot, too. Because he played safety.”
