Georgia five-star commit Richard LeCounte III opened his season by scoring four touchdowns — three different ways.
An American Family Insurance Preseason ALL-USA selection, LeCounte from Liberty County (Hinesville, Ga.) scored the game’s first touchdown on a 27-yard pass from Jaalon Frazier in Liberty’s 53-13 victory against Bradwell Institute. He later added another receiving TD and finished with three catches for 71 yards.
He also had a 74-yard kickoff return and a 65-yard punt return.

Oh, and add in a rush for 12 yards and even a pass attempt.
LeCounte is ranked as the nation’s No. 1 safety recruit in the Class of 2017 by the 247Sports Composite rankings and the No. 24 player overall. He committed to Georgia in December and was new Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart’s first commit.
