Hardman is a senior at Elbert County High School.

Carter took his final official visit with Georgia this past weekend, and Kirby Smart and staff must’ve made a big impression.

Georgia’s seven other four-star commitments are defensive end Chauncey Manac, defensive tackle Michail Carter, wide receiver Charlie Woerner, running back Elijah Holyfield, defensive tackle Tyler Clark, wide receiver Javon Wims, and inside linebacker Jaleel Laguins.

Hardman Jr. will be joining a solid core of receivers for the Georgia Bulldogs, but with X-slot receiver Malcolm Mitchell having graduated, he could grab a starter’s role as soon as this fall. Marshall signed today as well. He just announced he’ll be taking his talents to Georgia.

Rated the No. 1 athlete in the 2016 recruiting class in the 247Sports composite rankings, the the 5-foot-10, 169-pound Hardman chose the Bulldogs over Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Michigan and Tennessee.
