Georgia football has landed its fifth commitment of the 2021 cycle in the form of offensive tackle Micah Morris. He is a 4-star prospect who hails from Kingsland, Ga. He plays for Camden County High School.
Morris is also the fifth in-state commitment to join the Georgia program. He becomes the second offensive commitment in the class, joining 5-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff. Morris’ commitment bumps Georgia to the No. 14 spot, just behind Tennessee.
Morris is rated as the No. 73 player in the class and the No. 11 offensive tackle prospect. Morris does have the build and ability to possibly play guard at the next level for Georgia.

In addition to his commitment video, Morris also wrote a note thanking the many people who helped him get to this point.
Prior to his commitment, Morris had put out a final five of Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Florida State.
Georgia now has commitments from four of the state’s top 12 players and in excellent standing with a number of other elite players in the state.
Morris is the first offensive line commit in the class but likely won’t be the last, especially from the state of Georgia. The Bulldogs are heavily pursuing 4-star prospects Terrence Ferguson and Dylan Fairchild to go along with 5-star offensive tackle Amarius Mims, all of whom come from the state of Georgia.
Mims recently released a top-10 with the Bulldogs in the running. Offensive line doesn’t figure to be quite as big a need in the 2021 cycle, given the Bulldogs signed seven offensive line prospects in the 2020 class.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart celebrated the commitment on Twitter with his classic Go Dawgs.
