2016 RB recruit Brian Herrien announces late commitment

Why the late hold out?

It's never too late to commit, and three-star running back Brian Herrien (6-foot-0, 200 pounds, Douglasville, GA) has finally announced his decision. Herrien will be attending Georgia, and he will be eligible this fall.

Herrien is one of the few holdouts of the 2016 class, as he had some academic issues that had prevented him from making an earlier commitment.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart has apparently had Herrien on his radar since his time at Alabama, and it looks like that interest transferred over when he took the head job over from Mark Richt.

Herrien is the 21st commitment for the Bulldogs for the 2016 recruiting cycle. That class is ranked No. 7 overall by 247Sports, and No. 4 for the SEC.
