Commits to Georgia Football
, a defensive back from the 2025 recruiting class, has officially committed to Georgia football, marking a significant addition to the Bulldogs’ roster.
As the early national signing day kicked off, athletes began finalizing their commitments by signing with their chosen colleges. Among the latest to join the 2025 Georgia Bulldogs recruiting class is Okonkwo, who hails from Hillgrove High School in Georgia. The three-star prospect is ranked as the 748th-best player nationally, the 64th-best safety, and the 88th-best player in Georgia, based on composite rankings.
Okonkwo’s journey to becoming a Bulldog took an unexpected turn. Initially committed to Northern Illinois, he announced his decision to decommit and flip to Georgia late Monday, just ahead of the signing day. His original commitment to Northern Illinois occurred in October of this year, but his late change reflects the pull of Georgia’s football program.
For Georgia, Okonkwo’s decision bolsters their recruiting class with a local talent who has significant potential. His commitment underscores the Bulldogs’ ability to attract players even when other schools have previously secured verbal commitments. This signing not only strengthens their defensive backfield depth but also highlights the program’s continued success in retaining in-state prospects.
Okonkwo’s choice to join Georgia represents a new chapter in his football career, aligning him with one of the nation’s premier college football programs. As a Bulldog, he’ll have the opportunity to develop further under Georgia’s highly regarded coaching staff and compete at an elite level in the SEC.
With Okonkwo now officially part of the 2025 class, Georgia continues to position itself as a powerhouse in college football recruiting, securing a mix of top-ranked and promising talents to maintain its competitive edge.
