Jackson Muschamp flips commitment from Colorado State to SEC school
Late last month, Jackson Muschamp — the son of South Carolina coach Will Muschamp — announced he was committing to Colorado State.
Now, it appears he’s had second thoughts and will instead head to the SEC — but not to South Carolina. No, instead, the younger Muschamp will head to Georgia to play at his father’s alma mater.
As you can see below, 247Sports reporter Rusty Mansell tweeted that Muschamp was flipping to Georgia, and Muschamp himself retweeted the news:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Muschamp is the No. 97 pro-style quarterback prospect in the 2020 class and the No. 71 overall recruit from the state of South Carolina.
It appears that Muschamp will walk on at Georgia, joining the Bulldogs’ No. 1-rated recruiting class.

What? With Beck, Mathis, Newman, and Bennett I do not understand this.
Walk on…don’t blow a head gasket. The kid’s punishing pops for not letting him come to Columbia. Lol
lol, no gasket blown. Just curious about this move, that’s all.
He’s a perfect fit.
Interesting…bizarre but definitely interesting…if he had been a Dabo sperm instead of Muschamp the kid could have got an all expenses paid free ride at ClemGoobU, but instead guess he is making daddy pay for his college education at LeghumperU. That’ll teach pops for not offering him a USCjr scolly
This makes no sense at all. He will never see the field unless Spring game. I don’t think this a good decision for him. Seems like Will and Kirby coulda shoulda talked him into something else.
Will Muschamp did beat Kirby Smart this past season!
Also might be there as a spy for his daddy? Get info? I am telling you I see that sound fishy.
(sigh)
TrueLefty…you must work for the CIA, right ? JAJAJAJA !
Kid was never gonna be an NFL all-star. At least now he’s close to home, getting the best strength training, facilities, and coaching. And he’s known Kirby his whole life. Like a home away from home at a great University. Probably bigger than football for this young man.
How close is Jackson to Burch…don’t they go to school together?
Not as close as Burch is to Huntley. Don’t get your hopes up.
Neither Burch or Huntley are signed. Both have continued to visit elsewhere. They do not appear to locks.
This aged well
I never said you would not sign them. There were a lot of G’cock fans that were pretty nervous too. I don’t think anyone knew for sure. Especially with Burch going to LSU on his own dime.
Actually as of this evening, Burch has not signed his LOI. Kornblutt reports that there is a family discussion, and the kid does not want to go to SC.
Awkward
Is this a play for Burch and Huntley? Could be.
I think y’all are reading to much into it. Colorado is far from home. Kid probably just wanted to stay close to his family work on his game and try to transfer later.
He grew up bleeding red and black. He is probably facing the fact that his future isn’t football. So go be apart of something you have loved all your life and get a good education.
Would be something if he got into a game against his Dad. Can you see his mother in the stands? She would probable send down a note that says if you blitz my son and hurt him I will de-nut you in your sleep.
Ha
“A Preferred Walk-On”…I guess we interpret Kirby’s thinking as…”This is he’s Will’s son, so why not give him a chance. But he’ll probably not play a down in Athens. I thought when he committed to Colorado Sate…he just wanted to get far away as possible from his Dad’s last season at South Carolina…but like a lot of kids…that “close to home stuff” won out. Lots of luck, young man.
I don’t think this is strange. I think it makes sense. He’s legacy (daddy went there), probably doesn’t have a future in football. He very well might have a future in coaching though.
Stay close to home, learn under kirby, become a grad assistant under Kirby. There you go.
Weird. Perhaps Bennett is transferring, but I doubt it.
Maybe his Dad will be DC at UGA next year??
I’ve often wondered about that in the event Lanning moves on and Coach Boom finds himself without employment.
I think I would love it but it may cause too much friction. You know Kirby wants his hands in the defensive strategy. Not sure how Muschamp would feel about having Kirby looking over his shoulder and questioning his decisions. Also I think USC would be making a mistake to fire him. I know he hasn’t been great but he’s building a solid program with pretty good depth and Bobo should help with the offense. Who are they going to replace him with that’s better?
Very good points
Kirby Smart knows “coach boom” better than anyone else & somehow he knows that it would be a very unworkable situation(since Kirby is the final word on the Defense in Athens).
He flipped already??? Didn’t he just announce Colorado State???
Yeah and he went from a scholarship at CSU to a walk on at UGA. I guess he just waned to stay close to home?
Guess we know where Chump will be landing as a D-Coordinator next year after USC gives him the boot!! :-)
Why would we hire Champ? Lanning turned in the number 1 defense last year. You know that right? You can have Chump.
Really? Like we care?
Why are you here…commenting on an UGA article….if you don’t care?
He’s a mole for Champ…
He’s known Kirby since he was born.
His dad and Kirby are close friends.
He’s been an UGA fan his whole life.
This isn’t reality TV.
They have these things called jokes, but UGA fans are a humorless bucket of cvnts.
One only has to look a little closer to see the bit of Kerbys jizz on Muschamps chin to see what really happened here. What a joke….. Muschamp and everything he touches turns to schitt.
Classy
