Kirby Smart\u2019s ability to stack blue-chip talent at Georgia is the main reason his program has won back-to-back National Championships. But the ability to find three-star prospects who either rise up the rankings or out-perform said rating is also a factor. That brings us to the latest Georgia commitment for the 2024 class, Northwood (South Bend, Ind.) wideout Nitro Tuggle<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The 6-foot-3 185-pound playmaker committed to the Bulldogs on Tuesday, giving Smart and Company an even dozen in their No. 1-ranked class. As his junior film shows, he\u2019s not a typical three-start.<\/p>\n

Despite being on the bigger side for a wideout, Tuggle is a tough guy to hem in. The seven-minute, 19-second feature shows him making men miss regularly and turning short gains into big plays. <\/p>\n

Tuggle is currently ranked No. 476 nationally by the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average of the four different recruiting coverage sites. He comes in as the nation\u2019s No. 80 overall wideout and the No. 4 prospect in Indiana. <\/p>\n

Why Tuggle chose Georgia\u2026<\/h2>\n

\u201cI love the energy around the program right now,\u201d said Tuggle, the No. 476 overall prospect and No. 80 wide receiver in the\u00a02024 On3 Industry Ranking<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cBack-to-back national championships, I just love that. When I went up there, the coaches had great energy and hype. I have a great relationship with coach B-Mac outside of football, not just in football. He can teach me how to be a man and that\u2019s what my parents want, the best for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want somebody that\u2019s going to make sure I\u2019m being developed into a man, not only a football player. I want to compete at the highest level and be developed as much as possible and obviously, Georgia\u2019s the place to be for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuggle added that the fact that Georgia is on top right now factored into his decision. The three-star prospect wants to be a part of what\u2019s cooking in Athens right now. <\/p>\n

Bryan McClendon, Georgia\u2019s receivers coach and pass-game coordinator, also played a big role. He spearheaded Tuggle\u2019s recruitment and the two built quite the bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been there, done that,\u201d Tuggle said. \u201cHe knows what he\u2019s doing. For me, I\u2019m gonna get developed\u2026 He\u2019ll get me where I need to be, and obviously that\u2019s the NFL. Me being under him, learning technique and him taking me under his wing, I feel like I can get where I need to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
