Son of boxing legend commits to in-state Bulldogs.
Video: Highlights of new Georgia commit Elijah HolyfieldElijah Holyfield, son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield, committed to Georgia today at a ceremony held at
Woodward Academy (College Park, Ga.).
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound senior running back had offers from teams across the country, but chose the Bulldogs over his other
247 Crystal Ball finalist, Auburn.
The younger Holyfield is a bona fide blue-chip recruit, ranking as the
No. 5 player at his position according to the 247Sports Composite.
As a junior, he carried the ball 264 times for 1,735 yards and 25 touchdowns, leading Woodward Academy to an 11-3 season.
Holyfield sat out of Woodward Academy's season opener last weekend, but could see action on Friday night against St. Pius X Catholic.
Elijah Holyfield is the newest Georgia commit.
