Georgia football adds another commitment in OL Griffin Scroggs

Georgia football adds former Georgia Tech commitment in Grayson offensive guard Griffin Scroggs

The Georgia Bulldogs have added a commitment from class of 2022 offensive lineman Griffin Scroggs. Scroggs, who plays guard for Grayson High School, is rated as a three-star prospect.

Grayson High School was dominant against the highest level of competition in Georgia last season. The Loganville, Georgia, high school football powerhouse won the 2020 state championship.

Scroggs stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 315 pounds. He was previously committed to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but announced his decision to decommit on Aug. 2.

The next day, Scroggs announced his commitment to the University of Georgia. Not a bad timeline for Georgia football.

Scroggs had previously committed to Georgia Tech in June.

The three-star offensive line recruit holds numerous scholarship offers, but it appears that his prized offer comes from the home-state Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia offered Scroggs on June 9.

The Grayson High product was recently visiting Athens and spending time with Georgia offensive line coach Matt Luke on June 10. Scroggs took another visit to Georgia on July 31 and this visit cemented his decision to change his mind.

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs now have 14 commitments in the class of 2022. Scroggs is Georgia’s first offensive lineman to commit in the class. UGA now has the nation’s No. 6 ranked recruiting class.

Don’t worry Georgia Tech fans, you have the No. 36 rated class of 2022, which honestly isn’t too bad for the Yellow Jackets.

The Buckeyes have been the nation’s best program at recruiting top-ranked wide receivers since Brian Hartline took over as wide receiver coach. Hartline, a former NFL and Ohio State wide receiver, is among the top recruiting coaches in the country regardless of position.

Antwi is very impressive after the catch. The 6-foot, 190-pound receiver racks up extra yardage after contact similar to former Ohio State star Curtis Samuel.

The four-star wide receiver visited UGA on June 4 and traveled to College Station, Texas, to visit the Aggies one week later. Antwi had USC and Alabama in his most recent top five.
