Georgia’s Latest Recruiting Triumph: Landing Five-Star EDGE Isaiah Gibson
Georgia secured a major victory in the recruiting arena by adding five-star edge rusher Isaiah Gibson to their 2025 roster. The Warner Robins, Georgia native, ranked 17th overall in his class, had initially committed to USC but reconsidered. Canceling a planned visit to Oklahoma, Gibson chose Georgia, significantly impacting the Bulldogs’ recruiting stature. His addition has propelled Georgia to the No. 4 spot, trailing behind Ohio State, Alabama, and Notre Dame.
Gibson’s commitment further strengthens a class already brimming with talent. The Bulldogs’ 2025 recruits now boast 15 members, including fellow five-star prospects such as tight end Elyiss Williams and linebacker Zayden Walker. Coach Kirby Smart, who first led Georgia to a No. 1 recruiting class in 2018, maintains a stellar record with this latest addition. Gibson’s decision highlights Georgia’s relentless pursuit of top-tier defenders.
Remarkably, Georgia’s recruiting success story isn’t new. Their 2024 class was historic, featuring standout defenders like cornerback Ellis Robinson IV and linebacker Justin Williams. Kirby Smart’s tenure since 2015 has consistently produced top-10 recruiting classes, underscoring the program’s robust recruiting strategy and its sustained success on the national stage.
