Five-star safety Jireh Edwards has announced his college decision.
The Georgia Bulldogs have been on a hot streak on the recruiting trail as of late, but on Saturday, they missed out on one of the top players in the class. Safety Jireh Edwards announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide. He committed to Alabama over Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida, Auburn and Oregon.
Edwards is rated as a five-star prospect, the 23rd-best player in the country, the second-best safety in the class and the third-best player in the state of Maryland, according to composite rankings. Edwards took official visits to Auburn, Maryland, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M and Oregon in that order this summer.
Georgia has recruited players in the secondary well this class. They have six defensive backs committed in the class with the most recent commit coming from Chace Calicut. Georgia would have certainly liked to have added Edwards to that list, but it was the Crimson Tide who did enough to earn his commitment.
