Jacksonville State landed the commitment of one of the top running back prospects in Georgia on Tuesday.

Lucas Farrington of Walton (Ga.) High School in Marietta, Georgia, announced his commitment to play college football for Rich Rodriguez at Jax State.

Farrington, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound back, is rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports and Rivals, being the ninth-graded running back prospect in the state of Georgia.
