There was one simple reason why Joenel was committed to Georgia on Saturday.

They've been trying to get me for a long time. I know what they're saying because I know they're going to develop me the best.

Georgia's 13th ESPN 300 prospect and part of the school's No. 6-ranked class, is a safety from Danvers, Massachusetts.

He is one of three highly regarded prospects who will be brought in to strengthen the defense.

Six days after the official visit to Athens, Harris from Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama, made his pledge to the bulldogs.

We've been talking since Harris committed. He has been talking to me about why he loves the school. Since then, he's been trying to get me there.

His desire to play in the SEC won out over his desire to play at Florida.

He wanted to play in the SEC. I think it was a goal. Big-time football is what the SEC is known for. You are going to play some dawgs there. It will help me get used to the league. I think it's going to be good for me.

The senior at St. John's Prep is returning to the school after spending the past two years at the academy.

"I think I can do everything," he said. I can do so many things. I can do whatever I want. I like playing in the box a lot. I like to hit people. One-on-one man coverage is something I enjoy doing. I feel like I can do a lot of different things. I can do anything.
