Devonte Wyatt de-committed from South Carolina and flipped to Georgia in one swift decision earlier this week. He’s the program’s newest commitment and that means there is still a lot to learn about the three-star defensive tackle from Towers High School in Metro Atlanta.

Wyatt is rated as just the nation’s No. 49 defensive tackle prospect for 2017. That should be interpreted as a lack of exposure on the evaluation circuit more than anything else. The nearly 6-foot-4 and 295-pound prospect has uncommon athleticism for his size. His coaches at Towers place him among the 10 fastest players on the team despite his size.

Towers head coach Dr. Brian Montgomery states Wyatt can run the 40 in under 4.6 seconds without an ounce of hesitation. He also produces on the field. Wyatt also picked up approximately eight sacks in 10 games in a very competitive region last fall.

What else is there to know about Wyatt? Well, he joined DawgNation on Facebook Live on Wednesday evening for another edition in our series of live interviews with DawgNation readers. Check out the interview below. The 20-minute session had already garnered more than 13,000 views and 205 comments in less than 12 hours.

  • Can he enroll early?
  • What are the chances of him flipping away from Georgia?
  • Which member of the UGA defensive line does he already feel a very tight connection to?
