UGA 4-star DE target to announce commitment on Friday

Xavier Kelly, a 4-star defensive end from Kansas, is set to make his college decision on Friday.

It could be good news for UGA because Saturday’s Dawg Night was Kelly’s last appearance on a college campus.

Kelly said he will choose from UGA, Alabama, Florida State, Clemson, Michigan, Kansas State, Oregon and Kansas State, via Twitter.

UGA has a good chance of landing the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder. He told the AJC last week that he has family in Savannah, and that UGA will receive his first official visit this fall.

Kelly told the AJC that UGA is recruiting him as an outside linebacker.

I will be picking between my top 8 on Friday!
Alabama
Florida State
Clemson
Michigan
Georgia
Kansas State
Oregon
TCU
