Georgia sets key recruiting weekend in Athens

Georgia is preparing to host several priority recruits Saturday, led by 2027 wide receiver Jamar Taylor and 2028 safety Gaige Weddle. The Bulldogs have two remaining opportunities to make a game-day impression on prospects from the 2027, 2028 and 2029 classes and beyond.

Taylor, a 3-star prospect committed to Rutgers, is one of two official visitors expected in Athens this weekend. Georgia has increased its pursuit in recent weeks while looking for another outside receiver to join Jamir Dean and Taurean Rawlins in its 2027 class.

London Humphreys will graduate after the season, while younger outside receivers CJ Wiley, Ryan Mosley and Tre Shields have not made an impact this season. Those players could earn snaps next season, but Georgia continues to seek more talent at the position as it prepares for possible NFL departures over the next two seasons.

Weddle, a California prospect, is rated No. 46 overall in the 2028 Rivals Rankings, and the distance from his home makes each campus trip meaningful. He has visited Georgia before, but Saturday is expected to be his final look at a Bulldogs game day before his recruitment potentially enters a more serious stage.

Georgia has invested significant early effort in Weddle despite already holding a commitment from a top-100 safety in the class. Utah has built momentum with Weddle, a legacy prospect, leaving Georgia with limited time to make its strongest impression.

The Bulldogs are also expected to host top-100 defenders Jamarcus Johnson and Tyler Boyd. Both play positions Georgia considers needs in the 2028 class.

Why it matters

Georgia is seeking another outside receiver for its 2027 class while preparing for future departures at the position. Weddle's visit gives the Bulldogs another chance to gain ground with a highly rated 2028 safety who lives across the country.

What to watch next

Saturday's visits will give Georgia a game-day opportunity with Taylor, Weddle and other top targets. The Bulldogs will have one more chance after this weekend to host recruits in a game-day setting.
