The Georgia Bulldogs, still waiting for a final decision from 5-star commit Jacob Eason, suffered a recruiting setback at quarterback Monday morning.
Bailey Hockman, rated No. 3 nationally among pro-style passers in 2017 composite rankings, backed off a six-month verbal pledge to the program, via Twitter. The 6'2", 210-pound in-state standout wrote he made the decision in order to "open back up my recruitment and make sure I am at the best place for myself and development as a student-athlete."
Georgia initially landed his pledge in June, months before Hockman began his junior season at Peach State powerhouse McEachern High School.
