Chauncey Bowens<\/a><\/strong> was a welcomed addition to Georgia\u2019s Class of 2024, with the four-star running back flipping his commitment from the Florida Gators in early June.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t a spur-of-the-moment decision for the No. 92 overall player in the On300.<\/p>\n

It had been percolating for some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Coach [Kirby] Smart, we\u2019d been talking about it for months. He was excited. He really spent time with my family every time I came up there. It really made us feel like a priority. I actually told Coach Smart a couple months prior that it was my plan (and to save the spot). He was excited about it,\u201d Bowens told DawgsHQ\u2019s Rusty Mansell.<\/p>\n

Bowens\u2019 timing, however, was a bit more on the fly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big hooplah commitment came when they were taking a commit picture. All the recruits there knew I was going to flip the next day at 3,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they were taking the picture and the families didn\u2019t know. The guys were all saying, \u2018Get in the picture!\u2019, and I was like, \u2018Alright, lemme get the mic.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

For Bowens, a key piece of that call, however, was the man who he\u2019ll work under in Athens.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach [Dell] McGee and his production, not just with running backs but with south Florida backs, I saw the vision with that,\u201d he said. \u201cI really saw the path to the draft and sitting in line behind really good running backs. It\u2019s the way Coach McGee has developed really good running backs. It\u2019s really unmatched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since that viral moment, the Dawgs have continued to build on the nation\u2019s No. 1 ranked recruiting class, and it\u2019s something Bowens isn\u2019t taking for granted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really good thing going on right now. We have a lot of guys who believe in what the coaches are telling us, and they\u2019re stacking up. We\u2019re getting more pieces to join our family, and it\u2019s a good thing,\u201d he said. \u201cActually, I was staying on Joseph [Jonah-Ajonye] for the last couple of weeks. He made the big move, and I\u2019m happy about that\u2026I\u2019m just blessed to be part of a program like that. We have the top line in the country, and we\u2019re getting the top line in this recruiting cycle. I\u2019m just really lucky to be a part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his commitment sutured up, Bowens is now focusing on other goals \u2014 primarily his senior season and performing at the FBU Top Gun camp this weekend where he earned an invite to the Adidas All-American Game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to come out here and dominate and earn that invite. I hate to say it like this, but I\u2019m not out here grinding to get offers. I\u2019m done with my recruitment,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m out here to be a better player and compete with some of the best players out here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chauncey Bowens hails from West Palm Beach, Florida\u2019s The Benjamin School.<\/p>\n
