Georgia fans already had plenty to be excited about after Heard County offensive lineman Jake Edwards and Miami receiver Gilbert Jones both committed this weekend. On Tuesday the good news continued as the state’s top running back, Nick Chubb, committed to the Bulldogs. It was between UGA, South Carolina and Auburn and Chubb chose to stay in state. The acquisition headlines what is shaping up to be a great Class of 2014 recruiting group.

 

Chubb stands 5-foot-11 and 216 pounds and is powerful back with breakaway speed. He has the ideal frame for a collegiate back and his gym-rat mentality has made him a physical specimen. Before he leads the Georgia Bulldogs, he will have one more year of running for the Cedartown Bulldogs. As a junior, he rushed for 2,721 yards and 38 touchdowns on a team that only played 10 games and failed to make the playoffs at 6-4. He has 62 touchdowns in his last two seasons. Chubb joins five-star running back Sony Michel out of Florida in the Bulldogs’ 2014 class.

 

According to 247sports.com’s Rusty Mansell, Brooks County defensive back Malkom Parrish is scheduled to make his decision between UGA and Georgia Tech on Thursday.
