2016 Football Recruiting Roundup - Part 2

Coaching changes significantly impacted the 2016 recruiting class. Five-star quarterback Jacob Eason stayed committed to Georgia after meeting new coach Kirby Smart, despite the departure of Mark Richt who had originally recruited him.

Eason cited Georgia's passionate fanbase, talented roster, and coaching staff as reasons for honoring his commitment. However, Richt's move to Miami opened opportunities for the Hurricanes, with some Coconut Creek High School prospects reconsidering their options to potentially follow their former recruiter.
