The University of Georgia is hoping to land a four-star talent at running back in the 2016 class.

But on Thursday, they lost a 247Sports Composite four-star tailback commitment. Dawgs247 confirmed that B.J. Emmons (Morganton, N.C./Freedom) has decommitted from the Bulldogs.

Tennessee had the 5-foot-10, 230-pound tailback on campus last month, and Alabama was scheduled to host Emmons over the weekend.

Georgia now has 12 commitments for the 2016 class. They will host four-star running back Elijah Holyfield (College Park, Ga./Woodward Academy) on Friday.
