Signing Day is here, and so is Dawg Sports. We’ll be around through the day and into the night to keep track of the action as Kirby Smart and his staff bring in another championship class.
This post will update throughout the day as commitments are confirmed, and will also feature news and notes from around the SEC and the country that impact Bulldog Nation. We’ll also be back this evening with our traditional Signing Day wrap up, and who knows what else.
Strap in, Bulldog fans. It’s time to welcome the next class of young men with hearts, bodies and minds for which the entire Bulldog Nation can be justifiably proud.
Go ‘Dawgs!!!
2025 BULLDOG SIGNEES
Mason Short, offensive lineman (Evans High): Big-bodied guard/tackle prospect chose the Dawgs over offers from Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State and many more.
Jontae Gilbert, cornerback (Douglass-Atlanta): Long, tall corner is a standout in man coverage and physical against the run.
Dominick Kelly, cornerback (IMG Academy): 6’1 junior corner reclassified from 2026 to 2025 to join this class.
Dennis Uzochukwu, offensive tackle (Peachtree Ridge): Big athlete with a textbook OT frame. “Dennis the Menace” has only played two years of football and has tremendous upside.
Juan Gaston, offensive tackle, (Westlake-Atlanta): At 6’7, 345 Gaston has size you just can’t teach and the potential to dominate once he hones the skills you can.
Dontrell Glover, offensive lineman (Langston Hughes HS): Road-grading guard with good upper body strength and a solid base.
Bo Walker, tailback (Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School): Low-slung tailback with good balance, lower body drive, and deceptive speed.
Ethan Barbour, tight end (Milton): Combo tight end/receiver/H-back with great hands and high football IQ. I think he’ll wind up being one of the biggest contributors in this class.
Elyiss Williams, tight end (Camden County): Massive (6’7, 245) tight end with basketball skill set is a matchup nightmare.
Thomas Blackshear, wide receiver, (Calvary Day School-Savannah): Productive, physical receiver who has a chance to be among the best in this exciting class of freshman receivers.
Ryan Montgomery, quarterback (Findlay, Ohio): Big, athletic quarterback with solid arm strength who can throw off-script. Game isn’t dissimilar from Carson Beck’s at the same stage.
Zayden Walker, linebacker (Schley County): Five star linebacker who has the potential to be the next great inside ‘backer in Athens.
Darren Ikinnagbon, defensive lineman (Hillside, New Jersey): Blue chip defensive lineman who could play anywhere on the defensive front but could grow into a critical pass rusher.
Chase Linton, Edge (North Atlanta): Freakish athlete who should be eventually play with a hand in the dirt or standing a la Mykel Williams.
Landon Roldan, wide receiver (North Oconee): Explosive athlete and excellent route runner who reminds many scouts of Ladd McConkey.
Elijah Griffin, defensive tackle (Savannah Christian Prep): The top defensive tackle prospect in America and the top prospect in the Peach State is staying home.
CJ Wiley, wide receiver (Milton): Big (6’4, 195) receiver with an unreal catch radius who’s accounted for 24 receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons.
JJ Hanne, defensive tackle, (Santa Margarita HS, Berlin, Germany): Perhaps the most intriguing prospect in this class, Hanne has the size (6’5, 280) and athleticism to become a monster defensive tackle. Has only played three seasons of football after growing up as a soccer and basketball player in Germany, and is only just scratching the surface of his natural athletic ability.
Tyler Williams, wide receiver (Seffner, Florida): Thickly-built receiver who could play inside or outside (think Dillon Bell) and could make a contribution as a kick returner.
Anthony Kruah, linebacker, (Marietta): Physical defender who’s nevertheless athletic enough to play either inside or outside linebacker.
Hezekiah Millender, quarterback (Clarke Central): Under-the-radar quarterback was a late flip from Boise State who has excellent arm strength, solid touch on midrange throws, and above average mobility. Originally from Arizona, moved to Athens prior to his senior season.
Isaiah Gibson, Edge (Warner Robins): The nation’s top edge rusher prospect has the frame and speed to grow into a first day NFL draft pick if he develops his repertoire of moves and becomes an every down run defender.
Cortez Smith, guard (Parkview): Interior offensive lineman with excellent upper body strength and surprising athleticism (won the GHSA 7A shot put title as a junior with an impressive 56’2” throw).
Rasean Dinkins, safety (Warner Robins): Ball-hawking safety who plays bigger than his 5’10, 180 pound frame. Could grow to be a perfect fit for Georgia’s STAR position.
Talyn Taylor, wide receiver (Geneva, Illinois): The top-ranked receiver prospect in a class of blue chip receivers. Taylor is a weapon in space who runs sudden routes and cuts himself open. Needs to mature physically but has WR#1 potential.
