Three star athlete chooses Georgia Southern over 19 other schools

Tyler Bride, from Greater Atlanta Christian School, committed to Georgia Southern on “The Crush w/ Glaze and Heard” podcast and via Twitter Monday night.

“Georgia Southern was the first Division I school to really recruit me,” Bride said of his decision. “It wasn’t about size or length. They just wanted me, and the player and person I am.”

He received offers from many schools including Northern Iowa, Coastal Carolina, Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee State among others.

After a lengthy recruiting process, he managed to narrow it down to four schools. The decision was between GS, Howard University, Morehouse College and Bowling Green.
