On the first day of the Early Signing Day period, Georgia suffered a surprising recruiting loss.

Warren made his announcement with a commitment video. He had been playing Lackawanna Community College in Scranton, Pa.

Georgia still has four defensive back pledges in the class, with two of them — Nyland Green and Kamari Lassiter — at the cornerback position.
