Wild day of recruiting turns into a historic night for Georgia

Georgia football has had a lot of really good days on the recruiting trail recently, but none have been quite like Tuesday. In fact, Tuesday was a pretty normal day until late afternoon and evening hit when massive stories began dropping left and right for Georgia.

The first big news that happened was actually bad news for Georgia as four-star wide receiver commit Brady Marchese was predicted to flip his commitment to Michigan. The panic that ensued didn’t last for long however because just a few hours later, a new report surfaced stating Marchese is shutting his recruitment down and staying committed to Georgia.

It obviously is a huge deal anytime a commit for Georgia officially shuts their recruitment down, especially for a player of Marchese’s caliber. But it just so happened that he wouldn’t be the only Georgia commit to make this announcement on Tuesday.

2 more Bulldogs shut their recruitments down

Top 50 corner Justice Fitzpatrick announced just last week that he was committed to Georgia. However, just a few days later word came out that he was going to take an official visit to Ohio State. That clearly isn’t normal behavior for someone that just committed to a program, but thankfully Fitzpatrick followed Marchese’s lead and cancelled that visit and shut his recruitment down.

Top 75 Georgia safety commit Jordan Smith also had future visits planned for this summer as well, but he announced one hour after Fitzpatrick that he was also shutting his recruitment down.

So while there is still plenty of work for Georgia to do in this recruiting cycle, that workload decreased a little after the announcements from these three commits. And these announcements couldn’t have come from a better group of recruits, because all three are ranked very high and will be huge pieces to Georgia for many years to come.
