Georgia recruited the linebacker position at an elite level in the 2023 cycle. However, the Dawgs missed out on Sammy Brown. Now, Georgia will look to earn commitments from other top linebackers. The Bulldogs have a commitment from five-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick, but the Dawgs are likely looking for a couple other linebackers to round out the class of 2024.
