3. Richard LeCounte III, Safety

Richard LeCounte III is a highly-rated safety prospect out of Riceboro, Georgia. He is a five-star signee that ranks 22nd in the nation, second at his position and second overall in the state of Georgia, according to 247Sports. He signed with the Georgia Bulldogs over Ohio State.

At 5-foot-10, 183 pounds, LeCounte III could very well make the transition to cornerback. The Bulldogs only have five cornerbacks listed on the roster for 2017. He enrolled early in January looking to establish himself early on the Bulldogs’ campus. He is a big body and physical prospect looking to make a name for himself in the SEC.

The Georgia native had 100 tackles (77 solo, 23 assisted), 11 tackles for loss, 7 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, 1.5 sacks and an interception return for a touchdown in his senior season as a safety at Liberty County High School. He also returned three touchdowns on special teams, two kickoffs and a punt.
