Davion Curtis, a 3-star receiver from Texas, has never visited UGA and doesn't plan to until sometime in September, but that didn't stop him from committing to the Bulldogs on Monday.

The speedster from Temple, Texas, committed to UGA over Oregon State and Kansas State on Monday, a day after telling the AJC in an interview that he was lured to the Bulldogs because of the possibility of playing immediately as a freshman.

“I’ve gotten to talk to Coach McClendon and he’s a very down-to-earth coach,” Curtis told the AJC on Sunday. “He said I would get to play my freshman year if I just go out there and do what I need to do. I was pretty excited about that.”

The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder told the AJC that McClendon and the UGA coaching staff were excited about his speed and ability to get in and out of his routes quickly. Curtis is ranked as the No. 174 receiver in the country.

Curtis will take his first visit to UGA in September, but he has not yet determined a specific date.
