New Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is attempting to take one of the nation's top prospects with him from Alabama, as Under Armour All-American linebacker Lyndell Wilson visited Athens over the weekend. Wilson is from Montgomery, AL., and is considered one of the top prospects remaining on both Georgia and Alabama's recruiting board.

Wilson is a five-star prospect and currently rated as the No. 14 overall prospect in the nation according to 247Sports Composite ratings. Aside from both Alabama and Georgia, Wilson is also considering attending Florida.

The high school All-American recapped his recent Georgia visit with Dawg Nation and reportedly came away very impressed, giving it a "10" rating:

While it will likely be very difficult for Georgia to pull such a talented player out of Alabama, the weekend visit appears to have helped their chances significantly. Wilson's long-standing relationship with Smart could also play into his final decision. How comfortable he feels with nearly an entirely new defensive staff in Tuscaloosa could also help the Dawgs.
