🔥 BREAKING: Georgia Lands Elite Five‑Star QB Flip from Ohio State — Dawgs’ Offense Just Went Nuclear!
ATHENS, GA — In a jaw-dropping twist that’s shaking up the college football world, the Georgia Bulldogs have officially landed a commitment from five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, flipping him from longtime suitor Ohio State. The decision, confirmed via Raiola’s social media, marks one of the most high-profile recruiting coups in recent memory and immediately vaults Georgia’s 2025 recruiting class into elite status.
Raiola, ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 2 overall player in the 2025 class by 247Sports and On3, had been verbally committed to Ohio State for months. However, whispers of Georgia’s persistent pursuit intensified over the past few weeks, especially following Raiola’s second unofficial visit to Athens this summer. Now it’s official — the Dawgs have their quarterback of the future.
The 6’3”, 220-pound signal-caller out of Buford High School (GA) brings an NFL-caliber arm, elite field vision, and remarkable poise under pressure. Known for his explosive deep ball and mobility, Raiola has drawn comparisons to Patrick Mahomes and Caleb Williams — and now, he’ll be wearing red and black.
“I felt in my heart that Georgia is where I belong,” Raiola said in a statement. “The coaching staff, the culture, and the opportunity to develop both as a player and a person made this the right decision.”
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was all smiles when asked about the flip during a media session, stating, “We recruit the best because we want to be the best. Dylan fits the standard we’ve built at Georgia. He’s a leader, a competitor, and a game-changer.”The impact of Raiola’s commitment is immediate. With Georgia already boasting a powerhouse offensive line and dynamic skill-position talent, adding a quarterback of Raiola’s caliber positions the Dawgs as clear favorites for the 2025 College Football Playoff. It also sends a strong message to the rest of the SEC — Georgia isn’t just reloading; they’re evolving.
Recruiting insiders report that Raiola’s flip could also influence several top wide receiver targets to follow him to Athens, further boosting Georgia’s offensive arsenal for years to come.
One thing is clear: Georgia’s offense just went nuclear — and the college football world better take notice.
