All eyes for Georgia football will be on talented Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden

Georgia picked up a pretty sizeable recruiting win on Tuesday. The Bulldogs landed a commitment from Tyler Williams, a 4-star wide receiver from Lakeland, Fla. It was a big win for Bryan McClendon, Georgia’s first-year receivers coach.

McClendon was brought to Georgia to bring in players like Williams, who was also considering Miami.

Players such as Luther Burden, who plays for the opposing Missouri Tigers on Saturday.
