Georgia Bulldogs Recruiting: Looking at Kirby Smart's list of signings in the early signing period

The Georgia Bulldogs had a fantastic recruiting cycle this year. Kirby Smart and company managed to sign 25 prospects from the Class of 2025 and came out of the National Signing Day with the fourth-best class in the country, as per 247Sports.

The Bulldogs have landed commitments from a total of 28 prospects from this year's class. However, three recruits are yet to sign with the program. Georgia has been a great force in the recruiting cycles since 2020. They have been in the top five of 247Sports' football team rankings every year.

The program has historically been a powerhouse in the CFB circuit and that has been a great point of attraction for the young recruits. This year was no different as the Bulldogs managed to land three five-star recruits and 16 four-star athletes from the class.

Let's look at all the 25 signees who put their pen to Georgia's paper in the early signing period.

Who are the Georgia Bulldogs' three five-star signees?

The Kirby Smart-led Georgia Bulldogs signed 25 athletes in the early signing period from the Class of 2025. The program landed three five-star recruits – Elijah Griffin, Isaiah Gibson and Zayden Walker – and improved their defense for the future.

Walker, a linebacker from Georgia, was the Bulldogs' first five-star commit from the class. The 6-foot-2 defenseman committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on June 5, 2024. He was followed by Gibson, who pledged his allegiance a few weeks later, on June 24. Griffin was the Bulldogs' last five-star commit, who announced his pledge in October.

Griffin is the highest-ranked Georgia signee, and is the fifth-best overall recruit in the country, as per On3. He is the best defensive lineman in the Class of 2025. Gibson, on the other hand, is ranked No. 8 in the country and is the best edge rusher, as per the recruiting website.

Zayden Walker is the best-ranked linebacker in the country. He is the 29th-ranked overall player in the Class of 2025, according to On3, and is the fourth-best overall recruit in the state of Georgia.
