The Georgia Bulldogs have picked up their third verbal commitment for the 2018 class, this one from three-star defensive end Jaevon Becton of Virginia Beach, Virginia (Ocean Lakes).

In a tweet posted to his Twitter account on Wednesday evening, Becton announced his college decision.

First off I would like to thank my mother and my whole family for supporting my decision …….I would also like to thank all the college coaches who offered me and my whole high school coaching staff as well as my teammates but definitely I would like to thank the man upstairs……..

I AM OFFICIALLY COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

Becton (6-4, 230) committed to the Bulldogs over offers from East Carolina, Maryland, NC State, Old Dominion, Rutgers, Syracuse, UCF, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and West Virginia.

In the 247Sports Composite, Becton is listed as a three-star recruit, the No. 48 weakside defensive end, and the No. 869 overall recruit for the 2018 class.

Scout.com and Rivals.com also rate Jaevon Becton as a three-star recruit.

Becton joins current Bulldog commits Chris Smith, a four-star defensive back from Atlanta, Georgia, and Jake Camarda, a two-star kicker/punter from Norcross, Georgia.
