Georgia Bulldogs

December Commits:

  • 5-star EDGE Damon Wilson
  • 4-star EDGE Samuel M’Pemba
  • 4-star DL Jordan Hall
  • 4-star LB Jadon Perlotte
  • 4-star CB Daniel Harris
  • 3-star ATH Kyron Jones
  • 3-star OT Jamal Meriweather

Georgia was also a big winner on the recruiting trail during December, along with their success on the field that included an SEC title, as well as a CFP Semifinal win over Ohio State. As for the recruiting side of things, the Bulldogs landed a total of seven commitments during the month, six of which came to their 2023 class.

Arguably the biggest of those names came back on Early Signing Day in Damon Wilson, a five-star edge rusher in the 2023 class out of Venice High School in Florida. The Bulldogs also landed two other key names along the defensive line from Florida in IMG Academy’s Samuel M’Pemba and Westside’s Jordan Hall, both of which are four-star prospects.

Georgia also landed another player from Florida in four-star Gulliver Prep cornerback Daniel Harris, who was a former commit to the Bulldogs, as well as a pair of three-star’s to their 2023 class in Kyron Jones and Jamal Meriweather. Jones was a former NC State commit out of Charlotte Christian High School in North Carolina, while Meriweather is an in-state product out of Brunswick High School.

As for the seventh commitment, the Bulldogs also added the second member of their 2025 class during December in four-star linebacker Jadon Perlotte out of in-state Buford High School.
