Former Georiga running back Sony Michel had some words of wisdom for the signing class on 2018 on Wednesday.

“ATTENTION ALL RECRUITS,” Michel wrote on Twitter. “Stop all the corny commitment tactics cause you will get (your expletive) roasted in the locker room once you get there.”

Michel’s message to high school recruits comes after several Georgia signees had theatrical announcements on Wednesday for National Signing Day.

The nations' second-ranked outside linebacker Quay Walker was one of the recruits who put on a show with his announcement by throwing a Tennessee Volunteers hat when he picked Georiga over Alabama and Tennessee.
