Georgia was in the running for 4-star wide receiver Romello Brinson out of Northwestern High School in Miami, Florida, but was unable to close it out.
Brinson announced he would be staying home attending the University of Miami on Saturday night.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 132 overall player and No. 25 wide receiver, Brinson picked the Hurricanes over Georgia and Texas A&M. Alabama and LSU were also in the running.
“It came down to it being easier for my family to get to the games and being closer to home,” Brinson said. “I’m staying home. This is a part of me.”

Georgia has had success recruiting Northwestern High School in recent years, with big name guys like Deandre Baker and James Cook both attending UGA after playing high school ball at Northwestern.
As for Georgia’s 2021 class, the Dawgs are still in good shape and currently hold the nation’s No. 16 ranked class.
