Georgia football is set to sign the top recruiting class in the country for 2025 — and it’s full of in-state talent.
Not only is the class heavy on Peach State prospects, it has another rare feature: two sets of high school teammates.
While it is not uncommon for a college football program to have players from the same high school on the roster, those are typically spread out over multiple classes. For example, Georgia currently has multiple players from West Forsyth on the roster (Oscar Delp, Dylan Fairchild, Henry Delp, Liam Badger and Cooper Johnson) and two players from Buford (Jake Pope and KJ Bolden). The Bulldogs also have six players from IMG Academy.
Georgia nearly had three sets of teammates in the 2025 class, but Lee County’s Ousmane Kromah, a 4-star running back and AJC Super 11 selection, flipped his commitment from Georgia to Florida State on Wednesday and his teammate, 3-star DL Jeramiah McCloud, stuck with Florida, despite a late Georgia push.
Here are the two sets of high school classmates that are set to be in Athens next year:
Ethan Barbour and CJ Wiley
Milton had two four-star prospects sign with Georgia: tight end Ethan Barbour and wide receiver CJ Wiley, who was an AJC Super 11 selection. Barbour committed to Georgia in September 2023, while Wiley flipped from Florida State to Georgia on Nov. 6. Both signed Wednesday.
Milton hosts Lee County in the Georgia high school football playoff semifinals Friday.
Isaiah Gibson and Rasean Dinkins
Two big names out of Warner Robins are committed to Georgia: 5-star Edge Isaiah Gibson and 4-star safety Rasean Dinkins.
Gibson, an AJC Super 11 selection, was rated as the nation’s No. 1 Edge and is expected to fill a role similar to the one former 5-star Mykel Williams took on when he arrived at UGA in 2022. Gibson was previously committed to Southern Cal but changed his pledge to Georgia this summer.
Dinkins previously was committed to Georgia Tech but flipped to Georgia on Nov. 4.
