Roswell (Ga.) four-star offensive tackle Miller Westerfield has pledged to Georgia, per Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett. The elite in-state target chose the Bulldogs over a group of prominent programs, including Tennessee, LSU, and Georgia Tech, cementing his commitment to the team he grew up rooting for. Westerfield is ranked as the No. 395 overall prospect and the No. 31 offensive tackle in the 2027 cycle according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a composite measure that blends data from the major recruiting outlets. He sits as the No. 47 player in the state of Georgia.
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound prospect took his official visit to Athens in mid-June, and the Bulldogs wasted little time in securing a pivotal piece for their 2027 class. Westerfield’s visit left a lasting impression, with the Georgia coaching staff, led by head coach Kirby Smart, positioning themselves to land one of the final high-end targets on the board. Westerfield spoke about his Georgia dream growing up in Roswell, explaining to DawgsHQ’s Jeremy Johnson that the Georgia fan atmosphere was all-encompassing. “Growing up in a place like Roswell, everybody’s a Georgia fan,” he said. “They went back to back, and it was the biggest news. There wasn’t a day you weren’t hearing about it for a long time. You go to a place like Athens, you can really feel the connection.”
Westerfield’s commitment marks No. 18 for Georgia in this 2027 cycle, contributing to a top-20 class in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. While some notable Georgia targets in the state have slipped away in this cycle, Smart and his staff have continued to reel in a substantial number of local blue-chip talents. Westerfield is now the 10th in-state commit for the Bulldogs in the 2027 class, reinforcing Georgia’s plan to anchor the line with top local talent.
Within the in-state four-star tackle group, Westerfield joins Kennedee Jackson of Lithonia and Kelsey Adams of Langston Hughes as Georgia commitments. Jackson flipped to Georgia from Florida last month and sits as the No. 81 overall prospect and No. 6 at his position nationally, while Adams, who has been pledged since September, is now the No. 12 offensive tackle nationally. The recruitment landscape in Georgia this cycle has seen some big fish slip away, but Georgia’s pipeline of in-state talent remains robust, and Westerfield’s pledge adds another important piece to an increasingly formidable class.
This update reflects the ongoing evolution of Georgia’s 2027 recruiting haul, highlighting Westerfield as a key offensive line addition who has demonstrated strong hands, impressive height and frame, and the versatility to project inside or outside at tackle. As the season progresses, more detail about how Westerfield fits into Georgia’s long-term plans, including potential early playing time, development trajectory, and how he meshes with the other in-state linemen in this cycle, will continue to emerge. For now, Westerfield’s commitment solidifies a win for the Bulldogs on the interior of the offensive line and signals continued momentum for Georgia’s 2027 class heading into the fall and spring evaluation periods.
