Devin Bowman Commits to UGA

Mark Richt and the Georgia coaching staff got some great news today as Devin Bowman announced his verbal commitment to Georgia. Bowman had offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Some people were worried that Bowman would commit to the Tide if they offered due to the fact that Bowman's brother, Micheal Bowman, is a WR for the Tide.

This is Georgia's sixth commitment this year and all six so far have been from the state of Georgia. Some people have been worried that Georgia can not hold on to its in-state talent, it would be hard to argue that so far this year.

Bulldogs in Lead For Ridgeland Athlete

One of the fastest rising stars in the state of Georgia was in town for G-Day this past weekend. Devin Bowman made his first trip to the University of Georgia and was greeted by none other then Head Coach Mark Richt. Bowman comes from a line of division one talent as his two brothers both play for D-1 schools, Adarius Bowman (Oklahoma State) and Micheal Bowman (Alabama). Bowman has been making a name for himself throughout the state of Georgia and currently has offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Bowman has been gaining a lot of interest from Alabama and expects them to offer soon.

Bowman came away really impressed with the Bulldogs and enjoyed the one-on-one time he had with coach Richt when he rode with Richt over to the G-Day game in his truck. Bowman and Richt had a chance to talk about football, academics, and why Georgia wants Bowman. Bowman has stated the only other school that will compete with them for him is Alabama, but the Tide has not offered yet. Currently Bowman has stated that the Bulldogs are in the lead.

Bowman has became a fan of current Bulldog Brandon Boykin and spend most of the game watching him, but he paid attention to the offense as well, as he does not know for certain where the Bulldogs would play him. Most people think Bowman would play corner for Georgia and with him coming in at 6-0 you know that makes coach Lakatos happy.

Junior Day Update

Kipp Adams from Rivals.com is reporting that Devin Bowman was not able to make it to Athens this weekend because his mother had to work. Bowman will be contacting the Georgia coaching staff today to reschedule his visit to Athens. Damian Swann also is not at Junior Day due to a baseball game that he is playing.

There are two additions to the Junior Day list. Jeff Greene, 1 star WR, out of Sierra Mills HS, GA and Thomas O'Reilly, 3 star G, out of Pope HS, GA are in Athens. Greene would be great addition to our redzone offense as he stand 6'6". O'Reilly is on the GA Top 50 list and has a high interest in Georgia Tech right now, hopefully Mark Richt and the coaching staff can sway him away GT.

Garrison Smith and Ken Malcome are in attendance for Junior Day as well. Malcome is stating that his mission is to get Gabe Wright to commit to UGA.

Corey Moore, Chris Sanders and Amarlo Herrera have been in the side by side with Xzavier Dickson for the trip with David Andrews spending most of his time with Watts Dantzler.

Come'on boys lets go get'em

Bulldogs Offer Athlete Devin Bowman

Devin Bowman got the offer that he has been waiting for when Mark Richt called him and gave him the news Tuesday. 

"Coach Richt spoke to me on the phone today and offered me personally, This is the big one I have been waiting for and I am really excited. Georgia is my leader now for sure."

Bowman is listed as a running back but the Bulldogs are more interested in moving him to the CB position. With his 6'0" 175lb frame and being able to run a 4.49 40 he should  make for an excellent corner. All signs right now point to that Coach Scott Lakatos wants his corners to be on the taller side. Bowman had this to say about the switch:

"Georgia wants me as a corner in their new 3-4 defense, they also want me to touch the ball on offense some like they did with Branden Smith this year. I am just so excited about it this offer."

Bowman is supposed to be in attendance for the Bulldogs Junior Day this weekend. I will be providing all the players that will be attendance as soon as they are available.
