KJ Bolden’s recruiting battle is expected to come down to Georgia and Ohio State. The Buckeyes hosted Bolden on an official visit this June. The five-star safety and fellow Buford star Eddrick Houston, a five-star defensive end, enjoyed their visit to Ohio State. Could the duo play together in college?
Houston, but not Bolden, is projected to commit to Ohio State, per 247Sports.
Top school: Georgia Bulldogs

Kirby Smart and Georgia are expected to gain a commitment from KJ Bolden, per 247Sports. Georgia has a slim lead over Ohio State.
It does not hurt that five-star Georgia commit quarterback Dylan Raiola recently transferred to Buford.
The Bulldogs already have commitments from several talented safeties in the class of 2024. Four-star safeties Jaylen Heyward, Peyton Woodyard, and Demello Jones are all committed to the Dawgs.
Top school: Alabama Crimson Tide
