Joseph Jonah-Ajonye Talks Why He Chose Georgia
The Georgia football program has been running hot on the recruiting trail this offseason as they have been gaining commit after commit, and they solidified yet another prospect on Thursday evening as defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye announced his commitment to the Bulldogs.
Jonah-Ajonye is a 4-star prospect in the 2024 class, a top 10 player in the state of Texas, and the sixth-best defensive lineman in the class according to 247Sports composite rankings. This was a recruitment that Georgia jumped in on late as they offered Jonah-Ajonye earlier this year, but he mentioned that head coach Kirby Smart and defensive line coach Tray Scott did a great job of maintaining a relationship with him and laying out a plan for how they viewed him as a prospect.
As to why Jonah-Ajonye committed to Georgia, this is what he told Brooks Austin on the Film Guy Network right after his commitment to the Bulldogs:
"Georgia, because, to put it simply, I've created a really good bond with the recruits, and the players, and the coaches. Those are my guys, so they kind of made it an easy decision. And then the development there is crazy. Being able to put really great linemen into the league back to back, that's something that other schools haven't done. And the back-to-back national championships show how dedicated they are to the game. And Coach Smart, he really made me believe in this logo right here. This G. Cause it means a lot to him and at my first visit he gave a speech about what this means to him and I guess it just flowed into me really."
Jonahp-Ajonye becomes the 24th member of the Bulldogs' number-one ranked recruiting class this cycle and is the fourth defensive lineman to join the already loaded class. Coach Scott has really made Georgia a hotbed for some of the nation's best talent within the trenches, and Jonah-Ajonye committing to the University of Georgia is just one of many examples of it.
