4-star OT Bo Hughley signs with Georgia: "I'm going to take care of business in Athens"

Bo Hughley visited Colorado this past weekend. Along the way, the No. 112 prospect in the On3 Consensus took visits to Auburn, LSU, Nebraska and a few other schools while being committed to Georgia.

From the outside looking in, it would be easy for the Bulldog Nation to have some concern about Hughley’s commitment, but he said he was never wavering. On Wednesday, he signed with the Bulldogs.

“This was a tough process, but I’m not going to lie, I always knew I was going to Georgia,” Hughley told On3. “I took visits, but Georgia has always been on my mind. It is different with them. Other schools came hard, I took visits, but I never thought Georgia wasn’t the school for me.”

Hughley, a 6-foot-6.5, 295-pound offensive tackle out of Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes just won a state title a couple of weeks ago. Georgia won a national title last season and is in the playoffs again this year. He knows he will win as a Bulldog, but he has something else on his mind.

“I am excited about what Georgia is doing and how the program is winning, but I am looking at it a little differently. I’m going to take care of business in Athens. I am a winner, Georgia is a winner, and that will take care of itself, but I have business to handle.

“At Georgia, I will play for great coaches, and it will be about me competing and developing as a football player. I am trying to get to the NFL. We will win, but I have business to handle. That is where my head is at.”

It was the coaches, in the end, that kept the No. 9 offensive tackle in the country at home.

“There was never a threat to Georgia because the coaches are different there,” Hughley added. “The connection with them from day one was different. They stayed the same. The coaches at Georgia don’t change and my relationships are deeper. I believe in them and I will be enrolling next spring.”
