Why did Brooklyn native Isaiah Wilson choose to play for Georgia football?

Former Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson signed with the Bulldogs as a five-star recruit in the class of 2017.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York and playing high school ball at Poly Prep, Wilson had offers from just about every school in the country.

At 6-foot-7, 350 pounds, Wilson was rated as the nation’s No. 16 overall player in the 2017 recruiting class. Out of the 18 votes on Wilson’s 247 recruiting profile, 16 analysts actually predicted him to play for Michigan.

But Wilson chose the warmer weather, the better competition and the overall more enjoyable lifestyle of attending The University of Georgia, where after three seasons he became a first round draft selection of the Tennessee Titans.
