2027 WR Gavin Honore commits to Georgia because of the culture in Athens

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Gavin Honore visited Georgia for the first time over the weekend and that’s all it took.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound playmaker camped in Athens, he worked with the coaching staff and he decided that is where he wants to be.

“I chose to commit to Georgia because of the culture and the way they run their program,” Honore told On3. “The program reminds me a lot of Mater Dei and both Georgia and Mater Dei have a culture of being great and winning. That’s something I really want to be apart of.

“They also have a vision for me that I can play a great role in their offense. They know that I can play everywhere on the field and not just in the slot. So that really makes me confident in playing for their program.”

On his first visit to Georgia, Honore got a feel for what Georgia is about. He not only took part in camp, but he sat in on meetings, he met with the coaching staff and he loved the vibe in Athens.

“What makes Georgia special and different from other programs is their passion and dedication that they have for the players. Not only are the coaches great at what they do, they are also great people. They were very welcoming to my family and I and that’s one thing that’s very important to me.”

James Coley is his lead recruiter. The two bonded quickly. Kirby Smart is the leader of the program. Honore is excited about who he will be playing for.

“The staff is great,” Honore said. “I can go on and on about saying great things about them. Every single one of the staff members showed love to me and my family. Even though this is my first time there and meeting the entire staff, It felt like I’ve known them for a while now and the environment there is second to none.”
