Fils-Aime was expected to be one of UGA's top targets at RB for the Class of 2016. The 4-star prospect made the trip to Dawg Night, but left Athens feeling like he wasn't really a priority at the position. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder was rated the No. 11 RB in the nation per the 247sports composite.

He had a match race set up with UGA running backs coach Thomas Brown, but that was put on hold.

Fils-Aime had visited Auburn earlier this month and left that campus stating that Auburn was his leader.
