UGA football offers 4-star FSU commit

UGA football offers longtime FSU safety commit

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to four-star Florida State Seminoles commitment Darryl Bell III. Georgia is among the latest schools to offer Bell III, who is a four-star safety recruit in the class of 2026.

Bell III has been committed to Florida State since Oct. 2023. Georgia safeties coach Tavaris Robinson offered a scholarship to the talented safety prospect.

Bell III plays high school football for Barbara Goleman High School in Miami Lakes, Florida. The 6-foot, 175-pound safety is ranked as the No. 299 recruit in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Bell III is the No. 23 safety in the nation and No. 44 recruit in Florida, per 247Sports.

The Barbara Goleman standout has a knack for forcing turnovers and does a good job of locating the football in pass coverage. Bell III plays both wide receiver and safety. He often lines up at the STAR position and is a strong tackler.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have four commitments in the class of 2026. The Bulldogs have no commitments at safety, but it is still very early in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

4-star WR recruit decommits from Florida State

Georgia football is looking to land Florida State’s most recent decommit, who is the No. 1 uncommitted receiver in the country

Four-star wide receiver recruit CJ Wiley has decommitted from the Florida State Seminoles. Wiley has continued looking at other schools despite his commitment to Florida State. The four-star checked out this week’s Texas A&M versus LSU Tigers game in College Station, Texas. Wiley also visited Georgia football for the Auburn game.

The four-star can’t be impressed with Florida State’s horrific 1-7 start to the season. Wiley had been committed to FSU since June 2024. His decision to decommit from the Seminoles is not a shocking one.

The 6-foot, 4-inch, 195-pound receiver is the No. 13 player at his position and the No. 11 prospect in Georgia, according to 247Sports. Wiley is ranked as the No. 84 recruit in the class of 2025.

CJ Wiley’s father, Chuck, played college football at LSU. Wiley is an elite  in-state recruit that plays high school football for Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Kirby Smart and Georgia are continuing to pursue Wiley, who is the nation’s top uncommitted wide receiver recruit.

The Milton High School star also runs track and has excellent speed. Wiley and Milton won the 7A state championship during the 2023 season. Class 7A is the highest classification in Georgia, which is among the most competitive high school football in the country.

Georgia looking to flip 4-star FSU commit

Georgia football is looking to flip one of Florida State’s best commitments in the 2025 cycle

Four-star wide receiver recruit CJ Wiley has continued to show interest in the Georgia Bulldogs despite being committed to the Florida State Seminoles. Wiley recently visited the University of Georgia for the Auburn game.

The four-star can’t be impressed with Florida State’s disastrous 1-5 start to the season. Wiley has been committed to FSU since June 2024. His decision to commit to the Seminoles was a surprising one as many outlets projected him to commit to Georgia.

Kirby Smart and Georgia never give up until early signing day, so it is no surprise that the Bulldogs are still pursuing Wiley. Georgia has a strong pitch to prospect. The Bulldogs offer a significant amount of playing time to true freshman and are annual College Football Playoff contenders.

CJ Wiley’s father, Chuck, played college football at LSU. Wiley is an elite  in-state recruit that plays high school football for Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Wiley is ranked as the No. 110 recruit in the class of 2025. The 6-foot, 4-inch, 195-pound receiver is the No. 15 player at his position and the No. 13 prospect in Georgia, according to 247Sports.

The Milton High School star also runs track and has excellent speed. Wiley and Milton won the 7A state championship during the 2023 season. Class 7A is the highest classification in Georgia, which is among the most competitive high school football in the country.

Georgia transfer DE has breakout performance

Former UGA football pass rusher had a strong performance in Florida State’s against California

Former Georgia Bulldogs outside linebacker Marvin Jones Jr. had a career day for the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday. Jones Jr. recorded two sacks, six pressures, four tackles and forced a fumble in Florida State’s 14-9 win over the California Bears.

Jones Jr. had two career sacks entering Florida State’s Week 4 game against Cal. The former five-star recruit transferred to Florida State this offseason after spending the first two years of his college football career at Georgia.

The Florida State pass rush dominated against California. The Seminoles recorded seven sacks in a much-needed win.

“No, it’s what these guys are capable of being,” said Florida State head coach Mike Norvell on the Seminoles’ defensive line. “And for wherever we are, we are. And, just like I said earlier, the choice that was made, and the choice just to go be better, the choice to go and to cut it loose and to go play, don’t worry about the circumstances, those will always be there.”

Despite Jones Jr.’s breakout performance against California, things aren’t all going great for the Seminoles. Florida State is only 1-3 through four games and faces a challenging remaining schedule. However, notching a win represented progress for Florida State.

FSU decommit plans visit with Georgia, more

Four-star Florida State decommitment is expected to visit the Georgia Bulldogs this fall

Florida State Seminoles decommitment Javion Hilson plans to visit with several college football programs this fall including the Georgia Bulldogs. Hilson is one of the premier pass rushers in the class of 2025.

The four-star edge rusher is the second-ranked player at his position in the country. Hilson, who is the No. 34 recruit in the country, is just a few ranking places away from being a five-star prospect, per 247Sports. The elite edge rusher is the No. 6 recruit in Florida.

Hilson plays for Cocoa High School in Cocoa, Florida. Cocoa is one of the most competitive high school programs in the state.

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound edge rusher plans to visit Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Texas A&M and Syracuse this fall. Hilson will be in attendance for the Texas A&M Aggies at Florida Gators game this weekend.

Greg Sankey roasts FSU, thinks Georgia deserved to make CFP

SEC commissioner says 2024 Georgia ‘one of the best four teams’, takes a shot at Florida State

Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey took a dig at the Florida State Seminoles in support of Georgia Bulldogs. Sankey made his opinion on the 2023 College Football Playoff known in a recent interview with 1010 XL radio out of Jacksonville, Florida.

“Georgia was one of the best four teams (in the country) and didn’t get in (to the playoff), but you didn’t see us jumping up and down and complaining and hanging national championship banners,” said Sankey.

Sankey is perhaps referring to Florida State’s ACC championship rings that claim the Seminoles were unconquered and 13-0. However, Florida State lost 63-3 to Georgia in the Orange Bowl, which dropped the Seminoles to 13-1.

Fortunately, the 2024 playoff will have 12 teams, so there won’t be any more controversies (yeah, right). Well, at least there won’t be any more undefeated Power Four conference champions missing the playoffs.

The SEC is projected to have several teams make the expanded version of the playoffs. Georgia is a popular preseason No. 1, while Florida State rebuilt much of its roster via the transfer portal.

The four-star named his top schools via social media.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football have the No. 4 recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. The Georgia Bulldogs have 17 commitments, but the Dawgs are still looking for their first commitment from a defensive back. Georgia is favored to land a pair of four-star safety recruits, but they have not committed to Georgia yet.

Four-star WR CJ Wiley makes surprising commitment decision

Four-star wide receiver recruit CJ Wiley has chosen among Georgia, LSU and Florida State

Four-star wide receiver recruit CJ Wiley has committed to the Florida State Seminoles over Georgia Bulldogs and LSU Tigers. Wiley’s decision is a surprising one: He was projected to commit to Georgia, per 247Sports.

Wiley’s commitment is a much-needed recruiting win for Florida State. The Seminoles have just six commitments in the class of 2025 and had the lowest ranked recruiting class in the ACC ahead of Wiley’s announcement.

Wiley’s father, Chuck, played college football at LSU. Wiley is a talented in-state recruit that plays high school football for Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Wiley is the No. 136 recruit in the class of 2025. The 6-foot, 4-inch, 190-pound receiver is the No. 15 player at his position and the No. 19 prospect in Georgia, per 247Sports.

The Milton High School star also runs track and has great speed. Wiley and Milton won the 7A state championship during the 2023 season. Class 7A is the highest classification of high school football in Georgia.

Georgia football and head coach Kirby Smart have had a hot streak in recruiting, but this is a miss for the Dawgs. The Bulldogs have the second-ranked recruiting class in the SEC and have picked up several commitments in June, including one from five-star edge rusher Isaiah Gibson.

Wallace is ranked as the No. 36 recruit and the eighth-ranked player in Georgia, per 247Sports. Wallace is on the verge of being ranked as a five-star recruit.

Wallace runs track in addition to playing football and has elite speed (10.9 seconds in the 100-meters). Wallace has NFL bloodlines and an enormous amount of potential. The Carolina Panthers drafted his brother, Trevin Wallace, in the third-round of the 2024 NFL draft. Trevin Wallace played college football at Kentucky.

The four-star is projected to commit to Florida State. Georgia should not be counted out because of the Dawgs’ prowess on the recruiting trail.
