The Georgia Bulldogs picked up a commitment from five-star class of 2024 recruit Demarcus Riddick in November 2022. Now, Riddick is reconsidering his decision.
Riddick is expected to make a final announcement of where he will play college football on July 26. The five-star linebacker is considering sticking with Georgia or flipping to either Auburn or Alabama.
July 26 is a special day for Riddick because it is his mom’s birthday. The talented linebacker outlined why he is making a decision despite his commitment to Georgia via On3.
It’s been really tough. … I thought I had this settled down when I committed to Georgia. But I really didn’t because my feelings have changed a little.
Riddick plays high school football and basketball for Chilton County in Clanton, Alabama. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker is the No. 26 recruit in the senior class. Riddick is the third-ranked linebacker and the No. 3 prospect in Alabama, per 247Sports.
Kirby Smart and Georgia football have the No. 1 recruiting class in the class of 2024. The Bulldogs have 26 commitments in the first class of 2024. However, Georgia has only two commitments from a linebacker. The Dawgs just added a commitment from elite linebacker Justin Williams.
Georgia signed three of the top linebackers in the class of 2023, so the Bulldogs aren’t desperate to add a top linebacker in the 2024 cycle.
Riddick is a very versatile player. He returns punts in addition to playing linebacker. Riddick has good speed and would fit in well with the Georgia linebacker room.
