Cavin Ridley, the younger brother of Alabama freshman receiver Calvin Ridley, announced Thursday evening that he would sign and enroll early at Georgia.

The 6-foot-2, 198-pounder from Deerfield Beach, Fla., is a four-star prospect who is rated the No. 32 receiver nationally by Rivals.com and 247Sports.com. He recently had committed to South Carolina before quickly reopening his recruitment.

"This was by far the biggest and hardest decision I've had to make in my life," Ridley posted on Twitter. "As you all have seen, I've really struggled to choose between some amazing universities with outstanding football programs."
