Georgia football added it’s 12th commitment to the recruiting class of 2019 Monday with the pledge of offensive tackle Warren McClendon Jr. of Brunswick, Ga., who picked the Dawgs out of a top five that included Auburn, Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee.
“First, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play on the next level,” McClendon wrote in a tweet. “I would like to thank my parents for supporting me during the recruiting process. Also, I would like to thank all my coaches and teammates. With that being said I’m 100% committed to … THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.”
McClendon — who is listed at 6-foot-4, 3-4 pounds — is rated as a 4-star by 247 Sports, Rivals and ESPN. According to the 247 Sports Composite, which averages recruiting industry ranks and ratings, McClendon is the No. 242 ranked player in the class of 2019, the No. 26 offensive tackle and No. 27 player in the state of Georgia.
McClendon is the second offensive lineman, along with fellow 4-star Xavier Truss, to commit to Georgia this cycle. He’s also the eighth recruit from the state of Georgia to commit to Georgia’s class of 2019.
