Lakeside HS Kicker Commits To Georgia

Will Hattaway plans on continuing his football career. The Lakeside High School kicker says he will do it in Athens.

Hattaway committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. He told The Augusta Chronicle why he picked the Bulldogs.

“I grew up in a Georgia football household, so I have been watching the program since my childhood,” he said. “It has been a lifelong dream of mine to wear the red and black, and play for the Georgia Bulldogs. Also, I absolutely love the coaching staff there and they made my decision an easy one. I believe that I can contribute to the program and it will push me to be the best I can be. I can’t wait to be in Athens.”

Last night marked the 8th time a Georgia HS QB has started in the CFB National Championship. It was all Stetson Bennett, passing for over 300 yards in the Dawgs over 65-7 win over TCU.

Coach Kirby Smart shared his emotions with dawgnation.com after the game.

“Sometimes it takes a loss to galvanize, put your team in a spot to win. It did that last year,” Smart said. “And it didn’t take that. I always tell guys, do you have to take a loss to learn? Why? Like, it doesn’t take that to learn that. And this team is special because they didn’t have a flaw.”

According to the article, the 2019 LSU team and the 2018 Clemson team are the only other teams to go 15-0 in the College Football Playoff era. Smart was the defensive coordinator on the 2009 Alabama team that went unbeaten, but the Crimson Tide went 14-0.

Following the game, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and defensive back Kelee Ringo both announced that they will enter the NFL draft.
