On February 12, 2016, Jeremiah Holloman decommitted from the Michigan Wolverines, a team to which he had pledged just two month earlier.

It was also on that day that he sent the following direct message on Twitter:

“Patiently waiting to hear from Coach [James] Coley,” Holloman wrote. “Everyone knows how much I want to hear that news.”

Soon thereafter, another message came in.

“Georgia is home. Everyone knows I loved them since I started playing,” he said.

A month later, the 6-foot-3, 190 pound wideout received the news he’d long been hoping for, that he now had a Georgia offer. The Newton High School standout did not temper his excitement.

"It’s something that I’ve always wanted ever since I was little,” Holloman said. “I always looked up to Georgia, so now, to actually have the opportunity to become a Bulldog is crazy.”

Today, more than eight months later, following countless visits and courting from schools around the nation, the Peach State star has officially decided to follow those childhood dream, as he’s announced his commitment to the Bulldogs and signed a financial aid agreement to be a part of Georgia’s Class of 2017.

"They just kept this motto in my head,” Holloman told UGASports.com recently. “They just want me to stay home. They said I can take as many visits as I wanted as long as when signing day rolled around, I inked to Georgia."

For Holloman, home is where the heart was and is.

"It plays a factor being here because I get more relatives and more people I have grown up with here will be able to come to the games,” he said.

Of course, having help from a former Bulldog did not hurt the chances either.

“It’s ‘go to Georgia,’” Holloman said of his conversations with first cousin Leonard Floyd during his trip to The Opening this summer. “Every time we speak he says ‘Go to Georgia.’ That’s where he wants me to go. He said he loved his time there. He said he could see after Coach Smart came in for Coach (Mark) Richt some of the improvements, and he wants me to be a part of that.”

Holloman signed his financial aid agreement at Georgia quarterback commit Jake Fromm's house. More on that story coming later.
