When Rome, Georgia OT Tate Ratledge originally committed to Georgia, he made it known that Sam Pittman was a big reason why he pledged to the Bulldogs. Fans and rival fans wondered what might happen with UGA’s offensive lineman commits since Pittman took the Arkansas head coaching job.
Ratledge, a top-40 recruit, let everyone know on Saturday that he has shut his recruitment down. He used a pic of Georgia legend Herschel Walker in his tweet sharing the news.
