On Tuesday, the day before National Signing Day, Georgia picked up a commitment from 2020 quarterback Jackson Muschamp, according to Rusty Mansell of 247Sports.
Muschamp, who will be joining Georgia as a preferred walk-on, is the oldest son of South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp.
Muschamp, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound signal caller out of Columbia, South Carolina, had verbally committed to Colorado State, but after a recent visit to Athens he decided to attend his father’s alma mater.

“When I decided not to go to Colorado State, I did it pretty quickly after I had returned from that visit,” Muschamp told Dawgs247.”I just realized what type of commitment it was to go away from home. I love the people, the coaches, and Colorado State. This decision had nothing to do with that. That is a special place.”
Muschamp is a three-star prospect who ranks as the 97th pro-style quarterback in his class.
He also has offers from Wofford, Middle Tennessee State, Samford and Western Carolina.
As a junior at Hammond High School, Muschamp threw for 3,062 yards and 34 touchdowns. This past season, he threw for over 2,000 yards and 29 touchdowns.
His father, Will, played collegiate football at UGA where he was teammates with current head coach Kirby Smart.
Smart and Muschamp remain close today, with Muschamp getting the best of Smart’s Bulldogs last season.
The two coaches previously spent time together as teammates in Athens and coaches at Valdosta State and LSU.
