The Georgia Bulldogs have added a commitment from defensive tackle recruit Shone Washington. Washington is ranked as a three-star defensive lineman and is a member of the class of 2022.
Washington has received interest from USC, Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida, LSU, and more. Washington originally committed to the in-state LSU Tigers, but later backed off his decision.
Shone Washington announced his commitment to Georgia over Florida via Twitter:

The three-star defensive tackle prospect will be planning to enroll at UGA early and will sign with the Dawgs on Dec. 15. Washington is Kirby Smart and Georgia’s 24th commitment in the class of 2022. UGA has the No. 1-rated class of 2022 in the country.
Georgia has commitments from four defensive linemen in the class of 2022, so they are likely set at the position unless there is a decommitment.
Sedrick Van Pran, a former four-star center and UGA sophomore from the class of 2020, went to Warren Easton High School, which is the same high school as Shone Washington in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Washington sat out the 2019 high school season due to transfer rules. Washington has impressive size at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds.
