Commitments secures from two top Valdosta recruits-Georgia made a major recruiting move on Thursday, landing a pair of Valdosta (Ga.) High standouts considered two of the best prospects in the nation.
Cornerback Malcolm Mitchell and tight end Jay Rome both pledged to the Bulldogs. The 6-foot-1, 187-pound Mitchell is the nation's 30th overall player, according to Rivals.com. The recruiting website lists Rome (6-5, 255) as the 56th-best prospect in the country.
Georgia now has 21 commitments and jumped to ninth in Rivals' recruiting rankings.
All commitments are non-binding until national signing day on Feb. 2.
Mitchell chose Georgia over Alabama. The speedy defensive back, who also could be a returner on special teams, also received offers from several other SEC schools. He made his announcement on a Valdosta radio station.
His teammate Rome, considered by some recruiting services as the nation's best tight end, made his announcement on ESPNU.
Rome was coveted by every major program in the South, but decided on Georgia over Clemson, Tennessee and Alabama.
Georgia still has two other top state prospects on its radar in defensive end Ray Drew of Thomas County Central and running back Isaiah Crowell of Columbus Carver.
