UGA’s first two verbals, Dexter Moody and Washaun Ealey, make it official

ECI tailback Washaun Ealey and linebacker Dexter Moody, the first two commitments of Georgia’s recruiting class, have officially signed with the Bulldogs.

Ealey, who some say is the state’s most accomplished tailback since Herschel Walker, has to clear one final hurdle before making it to Georgia.

The record-breaking senior from Emanuel County Institute told the AJC that he and Moody met recently with UGA coach Mark Richt to discuss academics.

During his prolific high school career at the Class A powerhouse, Ealey rushed for nearly 8,000 yards and set state records for career and single-season touchdowns.

The 6-foot, 205-pound Ealey is considered to be one of the headliners of Georgia’s 2009 recruiting class. The Bulldogs are counting heavily on Ealey to qualify so he can add depth to running back after the departure of Knowshon Moreno to the NFL.

HOW many personalities does WASHAUN have? Maybe he can be the next C. KING or H. Walker. Witch will it be? Probably G. Hearst. Great in college but no more than that.

Why do these players get to sign if they have academic issues? NO player should be allowed to have all the press they get if they are not qualified to go on to the next level.
