Seems like Lecounte is the one you should be calling Nancy. Not being able to take getting beat all day long and had to resort to throwing the guy over a bench...

If he was considering LSU, I don't think YOU would choose anybody over him

1. The Georgia Boys stand out

The Dawgs are well represented in San Antonio with nine commitments. After three days of practice, as many as seven appear to be in line to start Saturday’s game. Georgia’s 5-star safety Richard LeCounte was the most impressive player on the field Thursday, blowing up a screen during 11-on-11’s and then recording consecutive pass breakups against Michigan wideout commit Donovan Peoples-Jones in the red zone.

Army Bowl: East top performers - Thursday

Alpha Dog

It happens in flashes. We'll see A.J. Epenesa rag doll an offensive lineman in front of him. We'll see him uncoil his 269-pound frame and burst past an offensive tackle. On Thursday there were several of those flashes. In one play, he left a right tackle standing in cement as he sacked Hunter Johnson. On another, he forced a scramble out of the quarterback because he had driving an offensive guard into the middle of the pocket. He disrupted a run during the inside run period forcing a tackle for minimal gain. Epenesa is just a physical specimen who continues to look like a future force for Iowa. We like where we've got him as a five-star prospect.

The next five

1. Richard LeCounte, S, Georgia – During one-on-ones, LeCounte had a breakup on a slant. One play later he nearly intercepted a corner route. During 11-on-11, LeCounte shed a stalk block to go make a play on a quick screen. He was delivering on his top billing by 247Sports as the best safety in the country. LeCounte is a Georgia commit.

2. Willie Gay, OLB, Mississippi – After practice, Gay told me that he didn't think it was one of his better sessions. He could've fooled us. He made several plays behind the line of scrimmage in an inside run period and he continues to look like maybe the most athletic linebacker in the country. LSU and Mississippi State are likely the two biggest favorites

3. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia – At this point in the week, it's become clear that Thomas is the East's best offensive lineman. He's been effective every step of the way. He's sound in pass protection. He's leading the point of attack in the run game. He's able to reach block some really athletic defensive ends. I think Thomas could be the Georgia freshman most likely to start next year on the offensive line.

4. Cole Kmet, TE, IL – The Notre Dame commit didn't necessarily dominate as a pass-catcher on Thursday but he really impressed me with his versatility. He's a capable pass-catcher but I love the way he's doing work as a blocker in the run game. The East squad is using Kmet in an H-back type of role through much of the practice and his effectiveness and willingness as a blocker is a good sign for Notre Dame.

5. Jake Fromm, QB, GA – Fromm seems to have won the starting job for the East squad and he showed why on Thursday by just operating consistently throughout the afternoon. Fromm throws a catchable football always puts the ball in places that allows receivers to run after the catch and he allows the offense to attack every level of the defense
