The early signing period is here and UGA Wire has you covered throughout the day as the Bulldogs sign the bulk of their 2024 class.

Bulldogs faithful can rest easy, four-star wide receiver NiTareon “Nitro” Tuggle has signed his letter of intent to the University of Georgia.

Tuggle, out of Nappanee, Ind., is ranked as the No. 17 wide receiver, the No. 2 player in Indiana and the No. 84 recruit overall in the 2024 class, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Tuggle’s pledge wasn’t clear cut as of late and there was talk of a flip to LSU after he visited the Tigers earlier this month. Those rumors are now put to bed.

The Northwood High School star has sharply risen up recruiting rankings over the last year.

On tape, Tuggle is an explosive athlete. The talented wide receiver makes sharp cuts and is a playmaker when he gets the football. Tuggle shows the ability to track the ball well and is capable of making contested catches over defensive backs.

4-star RB decommits from Georgia football

Four-star running back Jabree Wallace-Coleman has decommits from Georgia football

Four-star running back recruit Jabree Wallace-Coleman has decommitted from the the Georgia Bulldogs. Wallace-Coleman had been committed to Georgia for more than a year.

The four-star running back decommitted from Georgia football shortly after Georgia defensive backs coach Fran Brown accepted the head coaching role at Syracuse. Brown is a recruiting guru in the Northeast.

Wallace-Coleman, who is a member of the class of 2025, plays high school football for Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Imhotep Institute is one of the top high schools in Pennsylvania.

Wallace-Coleman is the No. 153 recruit in the nation. The talented running back is the No. 14 player at his position and the second-ranked recruit in Pennsylvania.

The Bulldogs have a solid foundation of seven commitments in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Georgia has the nation’s No. 3 recruiting class in that cycle.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound running back shows excellent speed, acceleration and agility on tape. Wallace-Coleman is a rising junior. The elite running back recruit has pretty good power and does a lot of his damage running between the tackles.

Wallace-Coleman displays an excellent combination of vision and balance. The four-star makes some great cuts and has the lower body strength to carry defenders a few extra yards after contact.

Wallace-Coleman announced his decommitment from Georgia football via social media:

Cedar Grove running back Bo Walker is Georgia’s only running back commitment in the class of 2025.

Five-star Georgia QB commit drops senior season highlights

UGA football quarterback commit Dylan Raiola drops impressive senior season highlights

Georgia football commit quarterback Dylan Raiola dropped highlights from his senior season. Raiola is second in the class of 2024 on the 247Sports composite.

Raiola played high school football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Raiola is the No. 1 recruit in Georgia and the nation’s No. 1 quarterback.

Georgia football is confident in what it is getting with Raiola. He is an elite passer with solid mobility. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound quarterback played well for Buford in 2023, but the Wolves did not end up winning a state championship. Raiola had 36 touchdowns as a senior.

Raiola, who is the son of former Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola, previously played for Chandler High School in Chandler, Arizona. Raiola has good arm strength and the potential to compete for the starting role at Georgia.

In Raiola’s highlights, he shows excellent deep accuracy, good ball placement and poise under pressure. On multiple plays, Raiola makes accurate passes despite having opposing players draped all over him. Raiola’s highlights are per Hudl.

Head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2024 cycle. Georgia has 28 commitments in the class of 2024.

What recruits have Georgia football coaches visited ahead of the early signing period?

5-star Georgia DB recruit reaffirms commitment

Five-star UGA defensive back commitment makes it know that he is sticking with Georgia football despite Fran Brown’s departure

Five-star defensive back Ellis Robinson IV isn’t going anywhere. Robinson IV and other Georgia defensive back commitments are evaluating their commitment to Georgia after defensive backs coach Fran Brown accepted the head coach job at Syracuse.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have the No. 1 recruiting class in the SEC and in the country. In today’s pass-heavy college football world, teams need excellent talent and skill at the cornerback position. Ellis Robinson IV and other Georgia defensive back commitments have to feel very comfortable with the Bulldogs because both Kirby Smart and co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp played defensive back at Georgia.

Robinson IV, who committed to the Georgia Bulldogs in February is planning to sign with the Bulldogs. College football programs, including Miami and Alabama, have previously made a strong push to flip the 6-foot-1, 175-pound defensive back.

247Sports ranks Robinson IV as the No. 3 recruit in the nation and the No. 1 cornerback. He is the No. 2 player in Florida. However, ESPN’s recruiting rankings consider the elite defensive back to be the top recruit in the nation.

Robinson IV plays high school football for one of the best programs in the country, IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Former five-star cornerback Daylen Everette, who is seeing a lot of snaps for the Bulldogs, also played for IMG Academy.

Robinson IV holds a ton of scholarship offers. The five-star played for New Rochelle Iona Prep in New York before joining IMG Academy.

Robinson IV firmed up his plans to stick with the Dawgs with a simple message via social media:

Robinson IV told Rivals, “I got a lot of trust in Coach Smart and his staff to make me a overall better player at the position knowing that he’s played DB (defensive back) at Georgia also.”

Georgia football trending toward another No. 1 recruiting class

Georgia is ready to sign another elite recruiting class. The Bulldogs have 28 commitments in the class of 2024.

Head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are recruiting at an elite level. In fact, Georgia is on the way to having the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class in the 2024 cycle.

The early signing period is about a month away. Georgia has 28 commitments in the class of 2024, including one from five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola.

College Sports Wire’s Patrick Conn writes that Georgia’s talented recruiting class could be the Dawgs’ highest-ranked class in years.

Kirby Smart currently has the No. 1 recruiting class for the first time since 2020. That class featured Kelee Ringo, Jalen Carter, Darnell Washington and Ladd McConkey among others who have been key to winning back-to-back titles. Dylan Raiola could be the next big-time commit that can keep Georgia on top. If Carson Beck decides to leave after the season for the NFL, that QB battle will be must-see TV.

The early signing period is Dec. 20-22. The Bulldogs and most other top college football teams will sign most of their talent during the early signing window. The SEC has six of the nation’s 10 best recruiting classes.

On3, 247Sports and ESPN rank Georgia’s 2024 class No. 1 in the nation. Behind the Bulldogs are Alabama, Florida, Ohio State and Florida State.

Georgia also has an early edge in the class of 2025; the Bulldogs hold the nation’s top class that year as well.

UGA football quarterback commit Dylan Raiola is no longer the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2024

Georgia football commit quarterback Dylan Raiola, who was previously the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2024, is no longer rated as the nation’s No. 1 recruit. The 247Sports composite ranks Raiola fifth in the class of 2024.

Raiola plays high school football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. He remains the No. 1 recruit in Georgia, but he is no longer the nation’s No. 1 quarterback. That distinction goes to Alabama quarterback commitment Julian Sayin.

Georgia football is confident what they are getting in Raiola. Raiola is an elite passer with solid mobility. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound quarterback has Buford off to a 6-0 start entering Burford’s Oct. 13 game against Mill Creek (6-0). Raiola plays alongside elite class of 2024 recruits KJ Bolden and Eddrick Houston.
