“Number one, easily.”

This is such a great story on a number of levels.

That’s what happened to Buford High School senior Brandon Sudge Friday night, except for one minor detail. He didn’t just experience it . He literally went on an official visit to Georgia. But how did Sudge, diagnosed with cerebral palsy after an injury that occurred at birth, end up spending Friday evening with some of The Bulldogs’ most high-priority targets?

Well, that’s largely due to the efforts of one of those targets, Hinds Community College (Raymond, Miss.) wide receiver Javon Wims, and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart.

“Javon had been a guy that had always answered interview questions for me, as I’m a writer for SicEmDawgs.com. I’m a high school senior with a disability, so I’m going through the college process as well and having to endure physical challenges daily,” Sudge told Dawgs247 via text message. “A couple weeks back, I had tweeted out a video of myself walking independently, as it had been the first time walking that length of distance in my lifetime. Javon kept saying how inspiring that was to him and how he would like for me to go to dinner with him and coach Smart on his official visit. He showed the video to coach Smart and then Kirby contacted Jess Simpson, the Buford head football coach. (I had been the football manager the past four years), and they got it set up in order to where I could make it an ‘official visit’ of my own, as I registered through NCAA eligibility.”

The visit wasn’t “official” by NCAA standards only. Sudge says that the Georgia coaching staff made sure of that. Entering the trip to Athens expecting to be able to stand to the side and soak it all in, something he’d have been happy to do, Sudge’s experience was completely different.

He was treated as if he were a four-star prospect with the ability to play a key role in Smart’s first year as UGA’s head coach.

“We walked into the reception area and every coach came up and greeted us as well as the recruits. Then throughout this period, each coach would come back over to us and try to get to know us more. Coach Smart introduced me to Javon, and his actions and ways of care really showed his utmost class, and that will bring great things to this university. He spoke with me for a solid hour before heading to Sanford.”

That Smart took the time during the home recruiting stretch and that Wims made the effort he did tells you that while Mark Richt may be gone, class still remains within the football program.  Well done, gentlemen.
