UGA picked up its second wide receiver recruit this week as 4-star wide receiver Charlie Woerner decided to commit.

Woerner picked UGA over Alabama and Clemson. The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder, who is the nephew of former Bulldogs All-American Scott Woerner, is rated as the state's No. 13 overall prospect, and he would likely be in the top five if he did the camp circuit.

He is commitment No. 14 for UGA in this year’s recruiting class.

Naturally, UGA coaches, players and commits reacted to the big news on social media. Here are some of the best responses.
