TODAY’S FEATURED PROSPECT: JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand is a 6-1 215-pound four-star outside linebacker from Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Roswell, Georgia. He ranks as the No. 16 OLB and the No. 22 prospect in Georgia. Bertrand committed to Georgia on July 15, 2017, giving the Bulldogs its third commitment of 2019. He holds 10 offers, but his commitment to Georgia appears to be solid as a rock.
I spoke with Bertrand for a quick interview about being his commitment to Georgia and who he’s trying to flip and bring to the 2019 class.
