Georgia OL claims UGA offer, re-affirms to Duke

In the span of two minutes, one of Georgia’s top offensive linemen both claimed an offer from UGA and then re-affirmed his commitment to Duke via Twitter.

The player is Robert Kraeling, a 6-foot-8, 267-pounder who is rated as a 3-star and the state's No. 34 overall prospect for this year. Kraeling plays at Prince Avenue Christian School, which is located 12 miles away from UGA's campus and is the alma mater of Mark Richt's son.

Kraeling committed to Duke last April. On Monday, Kraeling said he was offered a scholarship by UGA offensive line coach Rob Sale. The Bulldogs are searching for at least one more (maybe two) offensive lineman to sign in this year's class after the recent de-commitment of EJ Price.

Here’s how it played out, according to Kraeling:

Honored to receive an offer from UGA today. Thank you Coach Sale. Thank you for your interest in my future success on and off the field.
