ATHENS — The first letter-of-intent is in for the Georgia football program.

Tyrique McGhee, a defensive back from Peach County High School, was announced as an official Georgia signee at 7:20 a.m.

McGhee is rated a three-star prospect, No. 56 at his position and also the No. 56 overall prospect in Georgia.

Georgia returns almost every player in the secondary, including every starter, so playing time could be tough to find right away. But the fact Georgia has a new defensive coordinator and secondary coach, Mel Tucker, will mean a new chance for everybody.

McGhee originally committed to Georgia in February of last year.
