Justin Hasenhuetl sheds light on commitment to the California Golden Bears

The three-star offensive lineman from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee High School announced his commitment to the California Golden Bears after decommiting from Georgia Tech in December.

He gave his reasons for his commitment to the program after his commitment and also spoke about his visit to California.

"It was both academically and athletically. Football is not forever. You always need a second plan and Cal is just beautiful out there," Justin Hasenhuetl said, as per Yahoo Sports. "When we flew out there for my first official visit, Georgia Tech wouldn’t let me take one, so I was looking for a new home. Cal was right there.

"When I got there, the first two days it was raining, so I didn’t see much of the city but is an extra factor that added up. So many people know San Francisco, and it’s just a great place to be."

Justin Hasenhuetl was an integral part of the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee Eagles' offense and helped them to an 11-2 record this season.
