New Georgia WR commit recruiting nation’s No. 1 player to UGA
Three-star wide receiver recruit NiTareon “Nitro” Tuggle committed to Georgia on Tuesday, choosing the Bulldogs over Colorado, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon and others.
Less than 24 hours into his commitment, the Indiana native is already recruiting top talent to UGA.
Tuggle sent out a tweet on Tuesday night to quarterback Dylan Raiola, the No. 1 overall player in the class of 2024, recruiting him to UGA.
A five-star quarterback from Phoenix, Arizona, Raiola last visited UGA in March and plans to do so again in June.

Tuggle is also a member of the class of 2024. Out of Nappanee, Indiana, the Northwood star is the No. 457 overall player in the class of 2024, No. 67 wide receiver and the No. 5 player in Indiana.
As for Raiola, he was present when Georgia won its second consecutive national championship in January.
Raiola is a big-time recruiting target for Georgia, which did not sign a quarterback in the 2023 class. Look for Kirby Smart to pull out all the stops to land the nation’s top-ranked recruit.
Georgia’s been trending lately for Raiola, a former Ohio State commit. 247Sports recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong originally projected Railoa to sign with the Bulldogs before changing the prediction to the USC Trojans in early March. Recently, though, Raiola’s recruitment has taken a turn in Georgia’s favor with an updated prediction from Wiltfong, as well as a projection by Jake Rowe of On3.
Both 247Sports and On3 have Raiola headed to Athens.
Raiola has strong ties to Georgia via former Bulldog quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is Raiola’s godfather.
Raiola’s father, Dominic, is a former Nebraska center who spent several years of his NFL career playing alongside Stafford for the Detroit Lions.
