Georgia has now suffered its first de-commitment since the departure of offensive line coach Sam Pittman to Arkansas.
2020 4-star offensive tackle Josh Braun has backed off his commitment from Georgia and appears to be trending toward Florida, according to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball.
“I have taken a step back from my commitment and am reassessing my recruitment,” Braun told 247Sports. “I committed to play under Coach Pittman, since he left my commitment is void.”
Braun ranks as the nation’s No. 285 overall player, No. 22 offensive tackle and 49th player in the state of Florida.
Braun, out of Suwanee High School in Live Oak, Florida, was one of five commitments Pittman had secured on the offensive line.
Despite the decommitment, Georgia is still in good shape with four offensive linemen committed in the class of 2020.
After the recent hiring of Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke to fill Pittman’s position in Georgia, I would expect Georgia to reel in a couple more commitments on the line. And given the relationship Pittman built with Georgia’s current commits, it would not come as a shock to see another one back off of his commitment to the Dawgs.
The Dawgs will be fine.
