Georgia football’s 2020 recruiting class ranks No. 3 in the nation and features five 5-star players.
Four of those 5-stars utilized the early signing period to make things official. However, offensive tackle Broderick Jones decided to wait it out and will sign during the regular signing period which begins on February 5th.
Jones, a 6-5, 300 pounder out of Lithonia, Georgia, ranks as the nation’s No. 14 overall prospect and has been committed to Georgia since April of 2018.
Despite his longtime commitment, he was not comfortable signing with Georgia during the early. Former UGA offensive line coach Sam Pittman’s departure for Arkansas likely had something to do with Jones keeping his recruitment open.
Jones was in Athens this past weekend, along with a plethora of elite recruits.
Following his visit, he posted on Twitter about what a great time he had and how he is still committed to the Dawgs.
Thanks UGA for a great weekend! #stillcommitted@Dawgs247 @DawgNation #GoDawgs

Auburn is Georgia’s biggest threat right now when it comes to Jones’ recruitment. He plans on visiting the Tigers next weekend.
On January 17th, Jones visited Arkansas and Pittman.
