UGA football Twitter rejoices following Brock Bowers’ commitment

Georgia Bulldogs football Twitter celebrated the news of four-star TE Brock Bowers’ commitment to UGA.

Georgia Bulldog fans needed something to celebrate in day of doom and gloom for college football. Fortunately, for Dawg fans, class of 2021 tight end Brock Bowers committed to the University of Georgia.

Bowers is a talented four-star recruit, who plays high school football for Napa High School in California. His commitment should not be lost in another day fraught with college football news.

Bowers is a building block that Kirby Smart and Georgia can count on in the future and should help solidify UGA’s class of 2021, which is now up to twelve commitments.

Bowers picked the Georgia Bulldogs over a lot of west coast schools, including Oregon, Washington, and UCLA. Kirby Smart is really expanding Georgia’s recruiting territory.

Here’s how Georgia football Twitter reacted to the news of Bowers’ commitment:
