From ESPN and 247 Sports
Apopka Blue Darter star defensive tackle Jalen Carter announced his commitment to Georgia on Monday. The No. 34 ranked recruit overall, Carter chose the Dawgs over Alabama and Clemson, the other two schools in his top-three.The No. 3 ranked prospect in the state of Florida, Carter is a 6-foot-4, 300-pound lineman, the third best defensive tackle in the class and is a big addition up front for Georgia.
Steve Wiltfong, of 247 Sports, said this about Carter:
"On Monday Georgia landed one of America's top defensive linemen in Jalen Carter. As far as a guy that can go out and dominate and be unblockable, he’s that guy.”
Carter is the second ESPN 300 defensive lineman in the class, joined by Nazir Stackhouse, the No. 243 ranked prospect out of Decatur, Georgia. Maybe more importantly, though, Carter is the fifth ESPN 300 commitment for Georgia since the start of April in what has been a snowball effect of commitments coming in for the Dawgs. In fact, all but one of Georgia's commits ranked in the top 300 have committed since March, making for a busy spring for the coaching staff.
Georgia has climbed the recruiting rankings from the No. 9 ranked class on May 3, all the way up to the No. 4 class in the current standings. The seven ESPN 300 commitments are tied for fourth with Notre Dame and Florida.
"I am 100% committed to the University of Georgia," Carter said on Twitter.
