Elijah Holyfield to Georgia: Bulldogs Land 4-Star RB Prospect

Elijah Holyfield, one of the top running back recruits in the class of 2016, announced Friday he's decided to play college football at Georgia.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports confirmed Holyfield, who's the son of former boxer Evander Holyfield, selected the Bulldogs. Woody Wommack of Rivals provided a look at the unique announcement, which included live animals:

Holyfield is a 4-star prospect that ranks inside the top 175 for next year's incoming class and, more importantly, checks in as the No. 5 running back in the group, according to 247Sports' composite rankings.
