NiTareon Tuggle, a three-star wide receiver from South Bend (IN) Northwood High, announced his commitment to the University of Georgia on Tuesday afternoon. Tuggle, who stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 190 pounds, had also received offers from Oregon, Colorado, Michigan, and other schools.
Tuggle credits his decision to commit to Georgia due to his close relationship with Coach Bmac and Coach Pryce outside of football. The Bulldogs’ depth chart for wide receivers was another factor that led him to choose Georgia. Tuggle feels that he could come in as a freshman and contribute immediately.
For Georgia, Tuggle’s arrival will be welcomed. The Bulldogs plan to use him to help open up their passing game by stretching the field once defenses try to stop their rushing attack. Tuggle will also have opportunities to make plays in open field situations.
Tuggle is the latest addition to Georgia’s No. 1 ranked class of 2024. The talented wideout joins other notable recruits such as Ellis Robinson IV and Landen Thomas, among others. He is listed as the No. 476 player in the On3 Industry Rankings and is viewed as the No. 80 wide receiver in the nation. Tuggle is also the fourth-ranked player in the state of Tennessee.
On3’s NIL Valuation rates Tuggle at $29,000. This metric is used to predict athletes’ projected annual value (PAV), with a focus on high school and college athletes. It is not a tracker for the value of the deals they may have completed already.
Georgia is known for developing its players, and Tuggle will have an opportunity to receive the best coaching to help him reach his full potential. With his physical attributes and his innate athleticism, Tuggle has the potential to be a star in the SEC.
