4-star UGA linebacker commit projected to flip

Five-star linebacker recruit Jadon Perlotte may be reconsidering his commitment to Georgia

Four-star linebacker recruit Jadon Perlotte has been committed to the Georgia Bulldogs since Dec. 2022. However, he appears to be reconsidering his decision.

Perlotte plays football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Buford is one of the top high school football programs in Georgia. Perlotte is high school teammates with five-star Georgia quarterback commitment Dylan Raiola. He is also teammates with five-star Florida State commit KJ Bolden.

Perlotte is projected to flip his commitment to Florida State, per 247Sports. If Perlotte switches his commitment, it would be a tough blow to Georgia in the 2025 cycle, but it would not be the end of the world for the Bulldogs.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have the top recruiting class in the nation in both the 2024 and 2025 recruiting cycles. It is still very early in the process for the class of 2025, so Georgia would have plenty of time to find other top linebackers.

Perlotte is not Georgia’s only 2025 commitment still weighing his options. Five-star offensive tackle Micah DeBose provided an update on his recruitment earlier in August.

Perlotte, who grew up as a Georgia fan, is the No. 34 recruit nationally and the No. 7 recruit in Georgia in the class of 2025. The elite linebacker is the fifth-ranked player at his position in the cycle.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker runs track and has committed to playing in the 2025 All-American Bowl.

Buford DB Jake Pope commits to Alabama over UGA

Buford High School safety Jake Pope, who is ranked as a four-star recruit, has decided he will play college football at Bama

Buford High School safety Jake Pope has commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Pope is ranked as a four-star recruit.

Jake Pope announced his decision ahead of Buford’s opening game against North Cobb. Pope committed to  Alabama over Georgia, UNC, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

Jake Pope is a member of the class of 2022 and received numerous scholarship offers from top college programs.

Pope plays wide receiver and safety. He’s ranked as the No. 26 safety in the class of 2022, but has received more recruiting interest than what this ranking would indicate.

The four-star is 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 190 pounds. He plays against some of the strongest competition possible at the high school level and won a 6A state championship in 2020 with Buford. Jake Pope was named all-region for his efforts in 2020.

Jake Pope is a versatile athlete and a good route runner. He is an impressive tackler in the open field and made critical plays to help Buford win a state championship. Alabama and Nick Sabab love players who excel in the clutch.

Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia could have used a talented safety like Jake Pope. Georgia could lose both of its starting safeties (Lewis Cine and Christopher Smith) next offseason. Now, it is back to the drawing board for UGA.
