Vail (Ariz.) PHHoenix Prep guard J.T. Elder verbally committed Tuesday to Georgia.

He is the first commit in the 2022 recruiting class for the Bulldogs.

The news was first reported by Elder’s AAU program on Twitter.

Elder was originally a 2021 recruit and was committed to Portland State, and had even signed his letter of intent.

But he backed out and decided to take a post-grad year. He was offered by DePaul in September and Georgia on Oct. 8. He visited Athens this past weekend.
