The newest edition of the On300 just dropped, and as per the usual, the Georgia Bulldogs remain well represented when it comes to the nation’s best in the Class of 2025. 14 of Georgia’s 22 current commits made the cut, and here’s how it shook out this go round.

No change in the leader of the pack for the Dawgs, as EDGE Isaiah Gibson holds onto the highest ranking of the currently committed. In fact, the standout pass rusher improved his standing, rising six spots up to the nation’s No. 7 ranking from a previous No. 13. He is the nation’s top prospect at the position, as well.

Cornerback Shamari Earls is still occupying rare air as a top 25 prospect, but he did see an ever so slight drop in his ranking during this update. Where he was previously No. 19, the Virginia-based standout is currently No. 22. Nothing to complain about there.

How about a significant rise and at a position folks are always clamoring for? While twelve spots might not seem astronomical, when you’re dealing with the top 50, it’s a huge jump. That’s how things now stand for wide receiver Talyn Taylor, who is all the way up to No. 37 in the country overall. An early standout senior campaign has helped him improve from his previous No. 49.

Just behind him is Elyiss Williams, who holds onto the top tight end spot in the country. He did, however, see a small fall to No. 39 from No. 35. We’re willing to bet Todd Hartley isn’t paying much attention to that, however.

Another solid move, EDGE commit Darren Ikinnagbon is up 16 spots this update, to No. 57 from a previous No. 73. The New Jersey native gives the Dawgs a formidable pair of well put together disruptors at the outside linebacker spot for the Class of 2025.

While he’s not the next name on the rankings in terms of Georgia, Savannah-based wide receiver Thomas Blackshear is the next on the list to see his ranking change. We’ll dive in on some of those who held steady, but Blackshear made the biggest move of this update rising 42 spots to No. 162 overall.

Fellow wideout Tyler Williams slipped, however, though it wasn’t a major hit. The Sunshine State playmaker lost 17 spots to find himself at No. 189 from No. 172. Still, a fine number for him and another weapon for James Coley’s room.

As for the largest slide, however, that would be to Georgia defensive back commit Todd Robinson, and in the grand scheme, it wasn’t a particularly devastating hit. Robinson lost 22 spots and fell just outside of the top 200 to No. 212 where he’d previously been at No. 190. Be interesting to see what might change if he were focusing solely on his collegiate position in the high school ranks.

Lastly, in terms of change, was another rise, and this time, it was for the big man, as offensive line behemoth Juan Gaston picked up seven spots to land at No. 227 overall from No. 234. In terms of ranking offensive line frames, however, he’s off the charts.

Five Bulldogs didn’t change at all in this go round, so no sweat there. In-state standout linebacker Zayden Walker remains at No. 90. Parkview likely center Cortez Smith stuck at No. 156. No change for Ryan Montgomery, who sticks at No. 200, and there likely won’t be after a season ended injury early on in his senior season. Meanwhile, defensive back Jontae Gilbert and tight end Ethan Barbour round out the no-change club, holding strong to their No. 257 and No. 265 respectively.
