Marietta (Ga.) three-star North Carolina linebacker commit Anthony Kruah<\/a><\/strong> wrestles with his recruitment every day. He committed to North Carolina back on March 21.<\/p>\n

Georgia came in and offered a month later. Kruah took an official visit to Georgia back on June 21. Kruah is already planning his next trip to see Georgia. He will \u2018probably\u2019 be in Atlanta to watch Georgia face Clemson on Aug. 31 in Mercedez-Benz Stadium. <\/p>\n

The Bulldogs have been on Kruah\u2019s mind for some time. <\/p>\n

\u201cGeorgia is my dream school,\u201d Kruah said.<\/p>\n

Things are more complex than simply following a dream offer for Kruah. He\u2019s got a plan in place to work through things and reach a \u2018final decision\u2019 at some point this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of things in my head right now,\u201d Kruah said. \u201cI\u2019m just going to let it sit until I can come to a final decision\u2026 It\u2019s really just about me continuing to be dominant on the field and as I see myself getting better. God is going to send it into my heart and then I\u2019m going to make a decision again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Kruah growing close to Glenn Schumann<\/h2>\n

He\u2019s committed to North Carolina, but Georgia\u2019s defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann<\/a><\/strong> has been pursuing. Schumann\u2019s approach has been a major plus for Georgia. <\/p>\n

The Bulldogs\u2019 defensive coordinator has been respectful, he\u2019s pursued hard but Kruah hasn\u2019t felt pressured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe mostly talk football,\u201d Kruah said. \u201cHe\u2019s not pushing me to recruit me, he gave me that space to let me think about it, which I really respect. We\u2019re still building that connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kruah has been appreciative of the space Schumann has given him to think and take in the options he has. The connection between Kruah and Schumann is real. It goes beyond the football field. The connection he feels with Schumann is something Kruah would like to have in his life long term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk to Schumann a lot, he\u2019s a great guy and he\u2019s definitely someone that I want to keep in my life for sure,\u201d Kruah said. \u201cEvery other day we talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Carolina commit a priority in Athens<\/h2>\n

Georgia has been clear that Kruah is a priority in Athens. The Bulldogs have signed three linebackers in the last two classes.<\/p>\n

There is one committed at the moment in the class of 2025 and that is five-star Zayden Walker<\/a><\/strong>. Four-star Jadon Perlotte <\/a><\/strong>flipped his pledge from Georgia to USC two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Kruah admits there was a little excitement on his end seeing another linebacker spot in Georgia\u2019s class open up. Georgia had been in heavy pursuit before but knowing that there was another spot available checked another box on Kruah\u2019s board.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not worried about the depth chart that\u2019s currently in Athens. Kruah believes in his ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really was never concerned with the depth chart because I know my talent and me against those guys, I always got me,\u201d Kruah said. \u201cHim decommitting sat well with me because I knew that there is an extra space for me. It\u2019s a lot of thinking (to be done).\u201d<\/p>\n

Official visit still in mind of in-state linebacker<\/h2>\n

Kruah is well nearly two months removed from his official visit to Georgia. There are a still few things that still stand out. There\u2019s one thing in particular that brings a big grin to Kruah\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food, I love to eat,\u201d Krauh said with a laugh. <\/p>\n

On a serious note, Kruah admitted the honesty that Georgia showed that weekend and throughout the process has been big for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThem being transparent with me and him giving me space and being respectful, they\u2019ve never talked bad about UNC,\u201d Kruah said. \u201cI felt comfortable there too. That was a big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
