“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my academic and athletic career at the University of Georgia. I want to thank my family, friends, teammates, and coaches for all the support over the years. I also would like to thank the coaches at Georgia for this amazing opportunity. GO DAWGS 🐾🖤❤️”
