E.J. Price to Georgia: Bulldogs Land 4-Star OT Prospect

The Georgia Bulldogs added a big piece to their offensive line for the 2016 season Thursday by securing the commitment of 4-star offensive tackle E.J. Price.

Price confirmed on Twitter that he's heading to Athens:

According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Price is the No. 10 offensive tackle and No. 77 player overall in the 2016 recruiting class. Bleacher Report's Sanjay Kirpalani noted how Georgia has cleaned up on the O-line between Price and 5-star offensive tackle Ben Cleveland:

Although Price isn't as highly regarded as Cleveland, he's still a coveted lineman in the 2016 class. 247Sports' JC Shurburtt believes the Bulldogs did a good job adding him to their list of commitments:

Price's hands are two of his strongest assets. He knows how and where to use his hands to keep a defender at bay and push him out of the play. In addition, he is agile enough to remain engaged with a defender long enough for the quarterback to get rid of the ball or the ball-carrier to blow through the first level.

247Sports' Keith Niebuhr captured a Vine of Price matched up with 4-star defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson at The Opening in Atlanta. The quick video illustrates Price's use of his hands and ability to move laterally:

After adding Price, Georgia moved up to seventh, leaping ahead of the Clemson Tigers on 247Sports' 2016 team rankings.

Price is unlikely to make an immediate impact for the Bulldogs, but after a year or two, he should establish himself as a key member of their offensive line.
