The Georgia Bulldogs are headed into another big game this weekend and while the focus remains on the season and becoming the best version of themselves, the reality of college football is it takes more than that to stay on top.

Coaches have to split their time between preparing for the next game and landing the next generation of stars, and it makes the job a whole lot harder. At Georgia though, Kirby Smart is as good at that balancing act as anyone, and he has been on quite the run lately of landing some impressive recruits.

During an offensive line push for the Dawgs program over the last couple of weeks, it looks like Georgia is going after an impressive 2028 prospect from within the state. The only problem? The Auburn Tigers are a major factor as well.

When it comes to Darlington School's (Rome, Georgia) four-star offensive lineman Rex George-Taylor, the Tigers are currently in the lead, but the Dawgs are making their move and pushing hard right now.

"Georgia is very high up, and it’s not dropping," George-Taylor told UGA Sports On3 after recent visits with the Bulldogs despite Auburn currently being the favorite on the Rivals Prediction Machine. "It’s a great program, and most importantly, it’s a real blessing to have a scholarship offer to go to such a great academic institution."

George-Taylor got to spend some time with the coaching staff and attend the rivalry game in Atlanta against the Florida Gators, and he will make a trip to Athens this weekend for Georgia's game against Missouri.

He has been a little bit of a late rising prospect, but this is certainly a kid with the frame and technique to be a potential future starting offensive lineman in the SEC.

The biggest thing with George-Taylor that immediately stands out is size. Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 315 pounds, it's the kind of stuff that coaches seek out and salivate over when it comes to offensive line prospects.

Currently projecting as an interior offensive lineman, he is ranked right around the top-30 in the nation at that position and just outside the top-40 overall players in the state of Georgia. Landing him would mean not only strengthening their own offensive line for the Bulldogs future, but also taking away what would be a major recruiting victory for Alex Golesh and Auburn.

Keep an eye on George-Taylor over the next few months as he may be getting closer to a decision ahead of his official visits next spring.
