The Georgia Bulldogs continue to make up ground in the recruitment of 4-star linebacker Kenneth Simon ll. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Simon is an extremely talented linebacker from the class of 2027. He has named Georgia as a top landing spot throughout his recruitment process.
Simon would prove to be an excellent piece in Georgia’s defense should he land in Athens. A Tennessee native, Simon was an elite playmaker throughout his time at Brentwood Academy High School and has drawn serious interest from top college football programs. Simon recorded 63 passing yards and a rushing touchdown over two total appearances at quarterback during his junior campaign, as the linebacker is an extremely versatile and dynamic playmaker with the ability to play various positions.
Simon is ranked as the No. 7 linebacker and the No. 131 overall player from the class of 2027, per the 247Sports rankings. He is listed as the No. 6 overall player from Tennessee. Georgia reportedly made a big impression on the talented linebacker during his first visit to Athens last weekend, as Simon currently has Alabama and Georgia listed as his top two programs with Tennessee remaining in the mix as well. Simon played a pivotal role in Brentwood Academy’s Tennessee Division ll-AA Championship last season, as the talented linebacker would undoubtedly be a major addition to Georgia’s 2027 recruiting class.
The Bulldogs continue to target various linebackers from the class of 2027 outside of Simon, as Georgia has reportedly been named as a top five landing spot for elite linebacker Joakim Gouda.
Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football has the No. 6 recruiting class in the 2027 cycle right now. The Bulldogs have been recruiting linebackers at an elite clip, but don’t have any commitments from 2027 linebackers.
