Opa Locka (Fla.) Monsignor Pace five-star defensive lineman Shemar Stewart was one of many top prospects in Athens, Ga., on Saturday to watch No. 2 Georgia beat down No. 8 Arkansas.

He was also one of many people in attendance to be thoroughly impressed by the Bulldogs performance.

Stewart tweeted during the game the Georgia defense is for real.

The Georgia defense is one of the best in the country

The No. 2 Bulldogs have been led by their strong defense throughout the season, and Satuday’s game was just another example.

The Razorbacks offense that entered the game playing its best football in years, and Georgia muzzled them.

Arkansas managed only 162 total yards and nine first downs — and failed to score in game for the first time since 2018.

Georgia has the top scoring defense in the country at 4.6 points allowed per game — a full 7.0 points less than second-ranked Iowa. The Bulldogs are also best in the country in yards allowed at 178.6 per game.

The defense is full of future NFL players and numerous potential first round picks. Senior defensive lineman Jordan Carter, senior outside linebacker Adam Anderson and junior inside linebacker Nakobe Dean are all considered top prospects for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Shemar Stewart is one of the best defenders in the country

Shemar Stewart is one of the best defenders in the country. He is ranked as the No. 11 overall recruit in the country in the 2022 On300.

Georgia is his final five schools along with Clemson, Miami, Ohio State and Texas A&M.

He will be visiting the Aggies next weekend, who have been pitching Stewart on being the next great Texas A&M player to make an impact in the NFL.

Shemar Stewart was one of many big-time players in Georgia this past weekend. Fellow five-star lineman Mykel Williams was in Athens, as well as four-star defensive lineman Bear Alexander and four-star cornerback  Julian Humphrey.
