BREAKING: 4-star RB Kenny McIntosh commits to UGA

4-star RB Kenny McIntosh is now a Georgia Bulldog.

Kenny McIntosh had a great official visit for Auburn weekend. The sort that inspires a soon-to-follow Tweet.

This one did. It just came out on Wednesday.

McIntosh, a big 4-star RB from University School in South Florida, shared the word from his Twitter account that he has committed to the Bulldogs.

It was a pretty impressive official visit weekend for McIntosh. He told DawgNation there was no way he was going to commit to UGA prior to his visit for the Auburn game.

He had other visits to take.

McIntosh was set to arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday. His high school team had earned a bye for the first round of the state playoffs.

He felt that not even the best visit was going to inspire him to commit after this weekend. He was barely thinking about committing during the early period. His wish was to still sign on the traditional signing day in February.

McIntosh did so anyway. That says something about the way the Bulldogs are recruiting right now.

“Georgia is definitely growing in a great direction,” McIntosh said. “God has definitely been blessing that program and I think it is only going to go one way. That’s up. That’s to the championship each and every year and hopefully, win it all. Georgia has definitely been doing great things and I’ve been loving watching them.”

The 4-star prospect rates as the nation’s No. 10 RB prospect on the 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s slotted as the nation’s No. 185 overall prospect.

It is worth noting that he’s simply a 3-star recruit for 247Sports.

His decision now gives the Bulldogs 18 public commitments for the class of 2019. For what it is worth, he is now the 11th highest-rated commitment going off the 247Sports composite for this class.

McIntosh chose UGA over heavy interest in both Auburn and Oklahoma. He was considering an official visit to Alabama prior to the UGA visit, but will likely no longer take that trip.

What DawgNation needs to know about Kenny McIntosh

McIntosh fits the need for the Bulldogs for a big back on the depth chart. The 6-foot-1, 217-pound senior could be used as an option should the program struggle in short-yardage or goal-line situations going forward.

“They definitely have been preaching to me about how they need a big back over 200 pounds,” McIntosh said. “They said they have been needing that and I see that they need that.”
