Report: 5-star Georgia football commit no longer visiting Auburn this weekend

P5-star Georgia football OT commit Broderick Jones will no longer be visiting Auburn this weekend. The Tigers were UGA’s biggest threat.

5-star offensive tackle Broderick Jones, one of Georgia’s highest ranked commitments in the class of 2020, has had Bulldog fans on the edge of their seats the past few weeks.

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.

Auburn has been Georgia’s biggest threat to flip the 5-star tackle. Jones has planned to take a visit there this weekend, but per a report from Keith Niebuhr of 247, he will no longer make that visit.

That does not make him joining the Bulldogs official, but it does put Georgia fans’ minds at ease knowing he will not visit Auburn just a few days before National Signing Day.

Following his visit, he posted on Twitter about what a great time he had and how he is still committed to the Dawgs.

Will Carroll be the next back at UGA? He announced his latest edition of his top schools today:

Carroll’s top eight of Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Mississippi State was SEC heavy. He’s now trimmed Mississippi State, Tennessee, Alabama and Penn State from the list. He added the South Carolina Gamecocks to the mix as well.

Perhaps the 2021 RB wants to stay close to home? Regardless, Carroll will play against top competition in his time at IMG Academy.
