Four-star linebacker recruit Jadon Perlotte has been committed to the Georgia Bulldogs since Dec. 2022. However, he appears to be reconsidering his decision.
Perlotte plays football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Buford is one of the top high school football programs in Georgia. Perlotte is high school teammates with five-star Georgia quarterback commitment Dylan Raiola. He is also teammates with five-star Florida State commit KJ Bolden.
Perlotte is projected to flip his commitment to Florida State, per 247Sports. If Perlotte switches his commitment, it would be a tough blow to Georgia in the 2025 cycle, but it would not be the end of the world for the Bulldogs.
Kirby Smart and Georgia have the top recruiting class in the nation in both the 2024 and 2025 recruiting cycles. It is still very early in the process for the class of 2025, so Georgia would have plenty of time to find other top linebackers.
Perlotte is not Georgia’s only 2025 commitment still weighing his options. Five-star offensive tackle Micah DeBose provided an update on his recruitment earlier in August.
Perlotte, who grew up as a Georgia fan, is the No. 34 recruit nationally and the No. 7 recruit in Georgia in the class of 2025. The elite linebacker is the fifth-ranked player at his position in the cycle.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker runs track and has committed to playing in the 2025 All-American Bowl.
