Only two teams in the SEC (Alabama and Oklahoma) have more total commitments than the Georgia Bulldogs after Georgia added a commitment from four-star offensive line recruit Cortez Smith. Georgia now has 21 commitments in the recruiting cycle for the Class of 2025.
Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football are bringing in another elite recruiting class. The Bulldogs have one of the best 2025 classes in the SEC and the country. A few other top Georgia Bulldogs recruiting targets have announced commitments for late July and August.
The SEC has six of the nation’s top 10 recruiting classes in the Class of 2025, including three of the top four. Recruiting in the SEC has become even more competitive with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC.
How do the SEC’s recruiting rankings compare in the 2025 cycle after Georgia lands a commitment from Cortez Smith? Georgia is looking to sign back-to-back No. 1 recruiting classes.
