Georgia vaulted into the top five of the 247Sports.com composite team rankings for the 2019 football signing class after receiving a commitment Sunday from offensive tackle Xavier Truss of Warwick, Rhode Island.

The 6-foot-8, 350-pound Truss is a four-star prospect according to 247Sports, which ranks him as the No. 15 offensive tackle prospect and the No. 102 overall recruit. Georgia now has 10 commitments, with three from five-star prospects and seven from four-star prospects.

Georgia signed the nation's top offensive line class earlier this year, but Truss is the lone offensive lineman right now among the 2019 Bulldogs commitments. He visited Alabama on Thursday, Auburn on Friday and Georgia on Saturday.

Alabama still has the top crop of commitments for 2019, with Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Clemson and Georgia rounding out the top five.
