Georgia offensive line coach Sam Pittman screaming “Yessirr!” in a Twitter video continues to be troubling for opposing defenses throughout the Southeastern Conference.
Pittman unveiled his latest euphoric social media post Monday after the Bulldogs received a commitment from offensive tackle Tate Ratledge, a 6-foot-6, 311-pounder from Darlington School in Rome. Ratledge is the nation’s No. 5 tackle prospect and No. 39 overall recruit on the 247Sports.com composite rankings.
After Ratledge’s announcement, Pittman honored Darlington’s colors by wearing a purple jacket and by playing Prince’s “Purple Rain” as background music.
“Dawg Nation, we all root for the red and for the black,” Pittman said in his video, “but today seems like a day when I’m liking purple.”
Pittman then added his boisterous “Yessirr!” after landing the 10th offensive lineman during his time with the Bulldogs who was a top-100 national prospect, including the second in this 2020 recruiting cycle. Georgia also has a commitment from Broderick Jones from the Atlanta suburb of Lithonia, who is the nation’s No. 2 tackle and No. 20 overall prospect.
