Four-star safety projected to flip from Georgia Tech to UGA

Georgia football and Kirby Smart are predicted to flip one of Georgia Tech’s best commitments

The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to flip four-star safety recruit Rasean Dinkins.

Dinkins, who has been committed to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets since June 2024, plays high school football for Warner Robins High School in Warner Robins, Georgia. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound safety is a member of the class of 2025.

Dinkins is ranked as the No. 219 recruit in the 2025 cycle, per 247Sports. The Warner Robins standout is the No. 20 safety in the nation and the No. 32 prospect in Georgia.

Georgia football and head coach Kirby Smart currently have the third-best recruiting class in the country. Georgia recently picked up a commitment from five-star defensive end Elijah Griffin.

Georgia Tech and head coach Brent Key are actually doing an outstanding job on the recruiting trail. The Yellow Jackets have the No. 17 recruiting class in the country, but there’s no doubt that losing Rasean Dinkings to their top rival would hurt for Georgia Tech. Dinkins is Georgia Tech’s fourth-best commitment.

Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons of On3 both predict that Dinkins will flip his commitment to Georgia.

Five-star DL Elijah Griffin commits to UGA

Georgia football adds a commitment from the top defensive line recruit in the country in Elijah Griffin.

Five-star defensive end recruit Elijah Griffin has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs. Griffin’s commitment is a massive addition for Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart.

Griffin, who is a member of the class of 2025, is the No. 4 player in the country. Griffin is the top ranked recruit in Georgia and the No. 1 defensive end.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive lineman has immense potential and is ready to wreck games at the college level. Griffin committed to Georgia over the USC Trojans and Miami Hurricanes.

The five-star defender is Georgia’s No. 23 commitment in the class of 2025. Griffin’s commitment raises Georgia to the third-best recruiting class in the country. The Dawgs previously had the nation’s No. 5 recruiting class.

Griffin plays high school football for Savannah Christian Prep in Savannah, Georgia. Griffin has elite high school production with 35.5 career sacks. The disruptive pass rusher is Georgia’s top ranked commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle, per 247Sports. Griffin was also nation’s the top remaining uncommitted recruit.

Griffin’s commitment to Georgia comes shortly after the Bulldogs lost a commitment from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis.

Georgia recruit calls the Georgia Bulldogs his ‘dream team’

The Georgia Bulldogs are at the top of the list for a very talented high-school recruit running back

For the Georgia Bulldogs, this afternoon matchup versus Mississippi State already has a high-profile recruit watching, and there could be another one on the way.

High school running back Jae Lamar, who received an offer from Georgia last weekend, recently called Georgia his “dream team”, according to Jeff Sentell of DawgNation:

“It means a lot,” he said. “Georgia is my dream team. I have always wanted to play at Georgia (with) the great backs that come from there. You know Todd Gurley. There’s a lot of great backs out there and I think that it fits me there. Georgia has always been at the top of my list. I think they are number one right now.”

The class of 2026 recruit out of Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Georgia, hasn’t been ranked or graded by recruiting websites such as 247Sports yet, but he surely will be soon.  This highlight a big reason why Georgia offered him a scholarship:

 

The 5 foot, 11 inch running back has 575 rushing yards on 58 attempts, good for a jaw-dropping 9.9 yards per attempt. In just his sixth varsity game, he put up 182 rushing yards on 14 carries and 77 yards receiving, including that insane highlight. This is on a Colquitt County team that is ranked the 13th-best high school team in Georgia.

It’ll be interesting to see where he’ll commit. Lamar’s potential presence at Georgia would make him part of a very loaded young backfield with Nate Frazier and Dwight Phillips. Georgia fans should be excited if he decides to commit to the Dawgs.

5-star DL Elijah Griffin sets commitment date

Five-star defensive line recruit Elijah Griffin sets commitment date right after visiting the Georgia Bulldogs

Five-star defensive line recruit Elijah Griffin will announce his commitment on Friday, Oct. 18 at 1:20 p.m. ET from Savannah Christian Prep, which is his high school.

Griffin announced his commitment date shortly after visiting the Georgia Bulldogs for the Mississippi State game. The 6-foot-5, 285 pound defensive lineman will decide among Georgia, USC and Miami on Friday. Griffin is projected to commit to UGA, per 247Sports.

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart have nation’s fifth-best recruiting class in the 2025 cycle, but Georgia has room to improve. Landing Griffin would go a long way in the Dawgs’ quest to secure the nation’s top recruiting class.

Griffin has elite production with 35.5 career sacks at the high school level. The Savannah, Georgia, product is ranked as the top defensive lineman in the nation and No. 4 recruit in the country. Griffin is the top recruit in the Peach State and is a massive in-state priority for Kirby Smart and UGA.

Georgia is always looking to win the battle in the trenches and Griffin be a difference-maker for Georgia in the future.

Three-star Georgia defensive line commitment Stephon Shivers recently reopened his recruitment, so Griffin could help fill a void in UGA’s 2025 recruiting class. Georgia football’s most recent commitment is from four-star running back Ousmane Kromah.

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.

Elite DL recruit, UGA commit reopens his recruitment

Georgia football’s biggest commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle has reopened his recruitment. What is next for UGA?

Three-star defensive line recruit Stephon Shivers has reopened his recruitment. from the Georgia Bulldogs. Shivers, who is a member of the class of 2025, has been committed to Georgia since March 2024.

The three-star defender plays high school football for Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee. The 6-foot-5, 365-pound defensive lineman is Georgia’s biggest commitment (by size) in the class of 2025.

Stephon Shivers is ranked as the No. 518 recruit in the country, the No. 57 defensive lineman and the No. 18 prospect in Tennessee. Shivers projects to play nose tackle at the next level and is more disruptive in rushing situations.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have a commitment from just one other defensive lineman in the 2025 cycle in JJ Hanne. Georgia is still favored to land a commitment from five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry. However, the Bulldogs have some work to do along the defensive line regardless of what happens with Shivers.

[lawrence-auto-related count=2]

Georgia football has 21 commitments in the class of 2025 and the No. 5 recruiting class in the nation.

UGA football offers scholarship to 4-star USC WR commit

Will Georgia flip another USC football commit?

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to four-star USC Trojans wide receiver commitment Romero Ison. Ison, who is a member of the class of 2025, has been committed to USC since April 2024.

Ison plays high school football for Milford Mill Academy in Gwynn Oak, Maryland, which is located near Baltimore. The four-star is ranked as the No. 358 recruit in the 2025 cycle, per 247Sports. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound wide receiver is the No. 9 recruit in Maryland and the No. 52 player at his position nationally.

The Milford Mill Academy standout posted monster numbers as a junior. Last season, Ison totaled 2,653 yards, 69 receptions and 20 touchdowns.

Georgia currently has the fifth-best recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have 21 commitments in the class of 2025 including four commitments from wide receivers.

Georgia was much more active on the recruiting trail throughout its bye week. The Bulldogs extended a scholarship to Romero Ison on Sept. 18.

Georgia has already flipped one elite recruit from USC in the 2025 cycle. Can Kirby Smart and company do it again?

4-star flips from Georgia to SEC rival

The Georgia Bulldogs lost a key class of 2025 class commitment to an SEC rival.

The Georgia Bulldogs received negative news on the recruiting front on Saturday morning. Four-star safety Rashad Johnson announced his decision to flip from the Bulldogs to the Texas A&M Aggies, giving Mike Elko a major 2025 recruiting win. Johnson had been committed to Georgia since June 14.

Johnson is listed at 6 feet, 2 inches and 200 pounds. He is the 24th-ranked safety in the nation and the 33rd overall player in the state of Florida. He plays at South Sumter High School, where he recorded 59 tackles, seven pass breakups and an interception a season ago. He caught nine passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns on the offensive side as a receiver. He competes in track and field in addition to football.

With Johnson’s commitment, Texas A&M has 21 commits and has risen to the No. 8 ranking on the 2025 recruiting composite from 247Sports. This places the Aggies just ahead of Oklahoma and just behind their chief rival, the Texas Longhorns.

The Bulldogs are down to 21 commits for the 2025 class and are ranked fourth in the nation behind Ohio State, Alabama and LSU. Four-star Jaylan Morgan is the lone true safety pledge in the class, though Todd Robinson is a four-star athlete who is projected by some to play the position for the Bulldogs.

Five-star OT David Sanders makes commitment

The second-ranked recruit in the class of 2025, David Sanders, has announced his college decision

Five-star offensive tackle recruit David Sanders has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers over the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Sanders’ commitment to Tennessee is a massive recruiting win for the Volunteers. Sanders is Tennessee’s top commitment in the 2025 cycle. Tennessee has the sixth-ranked recruiting class in the country.

Sanders plays high school football for Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the second-ranked recruit in the class of 2025, per 247Sports. Sanders is the top-ranked offensive tackle recruit and the top-ranked prospect in North Carolina.

David Sanders has committed to playing in the 2025 All-American Bowl. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound offensive tackle has outstanding mobility. The five-star also sees snaps at defensive end and tight end for Providence Day.

Sanders’ commitment is not too big of a loss for the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia still has the fourth-ranked recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have four commitments from offensive linemen in the 2025 cycle. However, it hurts any time a rival lands an elite recruit.

4-star Grayson High School recruit sets commitment date

Four-star Grayson High School offensive line recruit sets Aug. 23 commitment date

Four-star offensive tackle recruit Nick Brooks is planning to announce his commitment on Aug. 23. Brooks recently returned to Georgia for his senior season of high school.

He’ll play for Peach State powerhouse Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, this fall. In 2023, Brooks played high school football for John F. Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The 6-foot-7, 345-pound offensive lineman has elite size. The four-star offensive tackle is ranked the No. 20 recruit in Georgia and the No. 142 player in the nation. Brooks is the No. 15 offensive tackle in the class of 2025.

The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to land a commitment from Nick Brooks, per 247Sports. We’ll officially find out soon. Brooks is deciding among Georgia, Texas and USC. The big offensive tackle was previously committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes, but Iowa is no longer a contender for Brooks.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have the nation’s No. 4 recruiting class. Georgia has the third-best class of 2025 in the SEC.
