The Georgia native becomes the second defensive lineman to commit to the Bulldogs for the 2017 class, as highly touted 5-star defensive end Robert Beal committed to the Georgia back in July.
Aside from the Gamecocks, Wyatt had also drawn interest from North Carolina State, Oregon State and South Florida according to 247Sports.
Kirby Smart’s staff continues to dominate the recruiting trails inside the state of Georgia, as Wyatt is the eleventh recruit from the state that has committed to the Dawgs for 2017. Georgia’s recruiting class remains one of the nation’s most elite groups, clocking in at No. 4 overall behind Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU according to 247Sports.
The addition of Wyatt is great, but Kirby Smart and Co. are far from done with their class of 2017 recruiting efforts.
