2:09 p.m. -- Five-star outside linebacker Adam Anderson's letter-of-intent is in, giving the Bulldogs another five-star prospect officially with the program.

12:31 p.m. -- The headliner of Georgia's recruiting class of 2017 has signed his letter-of-intent. Harrison quarterback Justin Fields sent his paperwork in and is now officially a part of the program. It's not known at this time if Fields will enroll early or not.

He is also recovering from a torn ACL suffered late in his senior season.

11:30 a.m. -- The Telegraph's Wilson Alexander reported that Hapeville Charter defensive back Christopher Smith signed his letter-of-intent to Georgia.

10:45 a.m. -- There was a little drama surrounding this one but the expected took place. Running back James Coo is signed, sealed and delivered for the Bulldogs. He is considered the No. 3 running back in the nation.

10:37 a.m. -- Florida defensive back Divaad Wilson has announced he is coming to Georgia. Wilson totaled eight interceptions during his senior season at Miami Northwestern.

9:50 a.m. -- Four-star tight end John FitzPatrick has sent in his national letter-of-intent with Georgia. FitzPatrick is considered the 16th-ranked tight end in the country and very well could be one of Georgia's most underrated prospects in this class.

8:11 a.m. -- Three-star offensive lineman Owen Condon has signed with UGA. Condon, who lives in Oklahoma City, recently told The Telegraph what it is like to be in Sooner Country as a UGA pledge.

"It's a relief to know that it's over and there's no more traveling for awhile," Condon said Wednesday. "From here on until the summer it's all about work, getting stronger, and putting myself in the best position to be successful in Athens."

7:41 a.m. -- Four-star receiver Elijah Moore decommitted from Georgia and faxed in his national letter-of-intent to Mississippi. Moore previously committed to Georgia on Aug. 15.

7:30 a.m. -- Georgia adds place-kicker/punter Jake Camarda to the class. Camarda, a three-star recruit from Norcross, is considered one of the best specialists in the nation.

7:25 a.m. -- Georgia's first signee of the class is in and it is North Gwinnett offensive lineman Warren Ericson. Ericson, a four-star prospect, projects to be either an offensive guard or center.
