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.

Georgia’s 355-pound commitment Stephon Shivers once had a 75-yard touchdown run…as a running back

Georgia commit Stephon Shivers is a unique athlete.

Georgia landed an important commitment on Friday, securing a verbal from Stephon Shivers. But the defensive tackle might just be a secret weapon for Georgia on offense.

The three-star defensive tackle’s verbal to Georgia adds some much-needed interior presence to their class. At 6-foot-4 and 355 pounds, Shivers is an impressive prospect with a recruiting offer list to match his frame.

Earlier in March, Shivers was offered by Texas. He also held offers from Florida, Louisville, Michigan, Purdue and Tennessee among others.

From Humboldt (Humboldt, Tennessee), Shivers takes on multiple blockers in the interior and does a nice job of not just collapsing the pocket but breaking free to make plays in the backfield.

Not surprisingly, on film he shows good strength as well as solid pad level and good footwork. His commitment gives Georgia a prospect with a very high ceiling.

But this highlight play, where Shivers took a handoff and ran for 75 yards…well, it defies any type of explanation.

According to 247Sports, Shivers is the No. 13 player in Tennessee in this recruiting cycle. Nationally, he is the No. 39 interior defensive lineman.

He also plays varsity basketball for Humboldt.
