The Georgia Bulldogs football program received an initial commitment from three-star defensive tackle Marlin Dean back in March. Dean decided to back off his commitment in July and then later decided to recommit to the University of Georgia on his mom’s birthday.

Now, Marlin Dean has signed with the University of Georgia.

Dean is a high school football player who previously played for Elbert County High School, which is located in Elberton, Georgia. Dean now plays for high school sports powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

He is a member of the class of 2021 and was Kirby Smart’s first commitment in the trenches for the class in March.
