Georgia adds another top recruit to its defensive back ranks with Shamari Earls flipping from South Carolina to commit to the Bulldogs. This move underscores Georgia’s reputation as “DBU” (Defensive Back University).
Earls, previously committed to South Carolina, officially announced his decision to join Georgia, citing strong relationships with coaches Donte Williams and Travaris Robinson as pivotal in his choice. Despite initial commitments elsewhere and a packed visit schedule, Georgia’s persistent recruitment efforts, especially by Coach Williams, swayed Earls to change course.
His commitment marks Georgia’s 18th pledge for the 2025 recruiting class and bolsters their defensive backfield alongside athlete Todd Robinson. Earls, ranked as the nation’s No. 8 cornerback and 68th overall prospect by 247Sports, enhances Georgia’s standing in the recruiting rankings, solidifying them at No. 3 overall behind Ohio State and Alabama.
