Five-star defensive end prospect LaDamion Guyton is projected to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs football program. Rivals ranks Guyton as the No. 1 recruit in the country.

Recent Georgia football decommit picks Georgia Tech

Four-star defender commits to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets shortly decommitting from the Georgia Bulldogs

Four-star defensive lineman Christian Garrett committed to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Monday. Garrett decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs on Aug 11.
