The Georgia Bulldogs finished with the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class for the first time since 2020. Georgia secured 28 signees in the class of 2024 including five five-star recruits.
The Dawgs’ class of 2024 features the nation’s No. 2 overall recruit, cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, who is the highest-ranked prospect to sign with an SEC school. Georgia tops a highly competitive SEC, which finished with six of the nation’s 10 best recruiting classes.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs had a very quiet national signing day. Twenty-two of Georgia’s commitments enrolled early.
Georgia did pick up an impressive preferred walk-on, three-star wide receiver Jeremy Bell Jr. Bell Jr. was committed to Indiana, but he is opting to walk-on to Georgia. He grew up a Georgia fan and is an explosive athlete, so there’s a chance he sees playing time.
Georgia’s class of 2024 is particularly strong on the defensive side of the ball. All five five-star recruits that signed with Georgia play defense. Georgia co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann helped the Bulldogs land three commitments from linebackers ranked among the top 10 players at their position.
Another area that stands out for the Bulldogs is the trenches. Georgia signed six offensive linemen, including five four-star recruits. The Dawgs also signed five defensive linemen and one edge rusher. Georgia’s defensive line class features three four-star recruits and a five-star.

Now, Georgia’s attention turns to the class of 2025. The Bulldogs have the No. 8 class in the country. Georgia has five commitments in the 2025 cycle, but the Dawgs have commitments from a pair of five-star recruits, so Georgia has a solid foundation.
