The Georgia Bulldogs continue to recruit the linebacker position better than any other college football program in the country. Five-star linebacker recruit Justin Williams committed to Georgia over Oregon.
Justin Williams is commitment No. 26 for Kirby Smart and Georgia in the class of 2024. No other program has more commitments from more five-star recruits in the 2024 cycle than Georgia, which has pledges from four five-stars.
Justin Williams is the top-ranked linebacker in the class of 2024 and the No. 3 recruit in Texas. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker is ranked No. 11 overall in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Williams runs track and has elite speed.
Georgia co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is dominant on the recruiting trail and one of the top young coaches in college football.
Williams is high school teammates with four-star Georgia commitment Joseph Jonah-Ajonye. Williams and Jonah-Ajonye play high school football together for Oak Ridge High School in Conroe, Texas.

4th straight class with a 5* LB commit for Glenn Schumann & Georgia
There have only been 9 total LB’s to be ranked as a 5* over the last 4 recruiting cycles. UGA has signed one every year (4 total).
Number of 5* LB’s per cycle…
2024 – 2
2023 – 3
2022 – 1
2021 – 3— Graham Coffey (@GrahamCoffeyDC) July 25, 2023
Glenn Schumann could be a head coach soon
It’s easy to forget, but Glenn Schumann is still only 33 years old.
Not a question of if…but when he wants to become a head coach. https://t.co/LEEkoD0yM9
