Georgia football flips UCLA commit, 4-star RB

UGA flips four-star running back Roderick Robinson, who was previously committed to the UCLA Bruins.

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed a commitment from four-star running back Roderick Robinson, who was previously committed to the UCLA Bruins.

The Bulldogs offered Robinson a scholarship on May 17, 2022. The Dawgs entered into the mix for Robinson late, but Kirby Smart and company did not give up.

Robinson visited the University of Georgia for the Auburn game. He had to be impressed with the environment in Athens compared to UCLA’s sparsely full stadium. Robinson’s visit helped give him the confidence to commit to the Bulldogs.

The four-star running back’s decision is tough news for UCLA, who now has just six commitments in the class of 2023. Roderick Robinson was UCLA’s highest-ranked commit.

The Bruins are off to an excellent start to the 2022 college football season. However, that has not resulted in success on the recruiting trail. UCLA and head coach Chip Kelly has the No. 80 recruiting class in the country.

Robinson is considered the No. 15 running back in the country and No. 18 recruit in California per 247Sports. The four-star is the No. 270 recruit in the country.

Robinson plays high school football for Lincoln High School in San Diego, California.

The 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back was also considering the Texas A&M Aggies. He announced his decision to flip his commitment via Twitter:

Robinson mentions that he is shutting down his recruitment. The Lincoln standout is Georgia’s first commitment from a running back in the class of 2023. Georgia has 21 total commitments in the class of 2023 and the No. 2 recruiting class in the country.

UGA football among top schools for 4-star RB

Four-star running back Roderick Robinson set his commitment date and named his top eight schools.

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the contenders to land four-star running back Roderick Robinson, who recently set his commitment date and named his top eight schools.

The Bulldogs offered Robinson a scholarship on May 17, so Georgia may be entering into the mix too late. Robinson is considered the No. 16 running back in the country and No. 20 recruit in California per 247Sports.

The four-star running back plans to make his decision on where he will play college football on May 26 at 1 p.m. EDT. Robinson ranks Arizona, Auburn, California, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M and UCLA in his top eight.

Robinson plays high school football for Lincoln High School in San Diego, California. Where will he play college football?

The 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back is favored to sign with UCLA, but he could go in several directions. This is an interesting recruiting battle between Pac-12 and SEC schools. Can the SEC lure another top California talent away from the state?

Georgia and Texas A&M should be considered long shots to land a commitment from Robinson. The four-star running back recently visited Auburn, Tennessee, USC, Arizona and Stanford.
