Social media reacts to 4-star RB Daijun Edwards committing to Georgia football

Social media reacted to the news of Daijun Edwards picking Georgia football.

On Thursday, Georgia football received a commitment from 4-star running back Daijun Edwards, out of Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Georgia.

The commitment of Edwards gives the Bulldogs 22 players in 2020 and helped moved UGA to the No. 1 spot in the class rankings, overtaking Alabama.

The commitment of Edwards likely means 5-star ball carrier Zachary Evans will not be a Dawg after all. Evans signed with Georgia originally but Kirby Smart granted the No. 1 back’s request and released him of his National Letter of Intent.

Regardless, Georgia gets a great player in Edwards, a 5-10, 200 pound beast.

Following the news of Edwards’ commitment, social media erupted in excitement over the addition of a great player and that new No. 1 ranked recruiting class.

 

Report: Tennessee’s visit with 5-star RB Zach Evans did not go as planned

The Tennessee Vols’ visit with 5-star Georgia football target Zach Evans did not go as planned.

5-star running back Zachary Evans’ recruitment has been tough to keep up with.

What we do know is that Evans signed with Georgia and then the two parties agreed to release the running back from his National Letter of Intent, therefore reopening Evans’ recruitment.

Whether or not Georgia is still going after the Houston, Texas product is unknown, but based on reports it sounds like Georgia is still in it. 

This past weekend, Evans paid a visit to Knoxville to visit with the Tennessee coaching staff.

This week, Vols head coach Jeremy Pruitt then tried to visit with Evans and his family in Houston. Pruitt also spent time visiting recruits at North Shore High School, where Evans went before finishing his course load early.

However, according to a report from Trey Wallace, a radio personality with FoxSports Knoxville, the visit did not as planned for Pruitt.

Per Wallace, Pruitt tried to visit with Evans’ family but it did not work out.

Personally, I don’t see a scenario where Evans ends up a Volunteer. Plans falling through this close to signing day is never a good sign, but expect Pruitt to keep trying for the talented back.
