Kell Cornerback Says UGA is No.4 Choice

It's not entirely clear what bumped the Dawgs out of Brendan Langley's top spot.

football fans who were looking forward to star cornerback and wide receiver Brendan Langley donning a Bulldog cap on National Signing Day may be in for a disappointment.

“I had a little bit of a misunderstanding with Georgia but it’s already been cleared up for a while now,” Langley told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday. 

Despite making amends with UGA, Langley has dropped the Dawgs to number four on his list of favorite colleges. The decision, made earlier this month, puts fierce SEC rivals Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina in the top three and knocks the Dawgs out of their previous number one spot.
