Four-star tight end Brayden Fogle is the most recent player to commit to Georgia football. The No. 8 tight end in the country announced that Georgia was where he wanted to play college football on July 4 after a long recruiting process.
However, according to Dawg Nation's Jeff Sentell, Fogle knew for quite some time that Georgia was the right place for him. Fogle opened up about the moment he knew he wanted to play for Georgia, and this story will immediately make him a fan favorite in Athens.
“I was walking back to the parking garage and I kind of knew,” Fogle shared via dawgnation.com. “This was where I wanted to be I guess. You know?”
“It really hit me in the hotel,” Fogle continued. “My hotel room, I just looked out, and I could see the stadium. It was nighttime. The stadium was lit up red. I could see it just lying in my bed, looking out my window. I was just thinking of all the things that have happened in that stadium and the opportunities that people get from that stadium and the most-watched team in college football. Like getting that platform. It still hasn’t sunk in for me yet. I told my Mom today that it’s a life-changing opportunity I was given and it is so exciting.”
Brayden Fogle feels at home at Georgia
It is always really cool to learn why recruits chose to commit to Georgia. More often than not it has something to do with their relationships with the coaching staff, which undoubtedly played a role for Fogle, but for him it was much more than not.
Fogle spoke about the opportunity given to him while playing at Georgia. There is no greater cathedral in all of college football than Sanford Stadium, and getting to play at Georgia will give him exposure he can't get at many other places.
On top of that, the history of success at Georgia really appealed to Fogle as well. And knowing that he will have the opportunity to add to that is something he couldn't turn down.
Fogle projects to be one of Jared Curtis's top targets on offense in the coming years, and after reading this story it won't be surprising when he eventually adds to the historic moments that have occurred at Sanford Stadium.
