Georgia Predicted to Win Heated Recruiting Battle Against Alabama
Georgia Predicted to Win Heated Recruiting Battle Against Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Georgia Bulldogs don't play the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2025 until September. But the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are about to square off on the recruiting trail. Advertisement The two historic SEC programs are the final two schools in the recruitment for four-star edge rusher Khamari Brooks. On3's Jeremy Johnson wrote Thursday that Brooks is set to announce his college decision Monday. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine projected Brooks to commit to the Bulldogs. "Brooks has been working to make a decision on the top two of Alabama and Georgia. These two have been the focus for about two months now," Johnson wrote. "Alabama Christian Robinson has worked hard to put Alabama in a strong position here. Georgia is Brooks' hometown team. He's been on campus too many times to track, and he's got family ties to the program." "The North Oconee star is a major priority and has gotten visits from defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, outside linebacker coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe and head coach Kirby Smart." Georgia Bulldogs football head coach Kirby Smart© Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images On3's RPM gave Georgia a 62.7 percent chance of landing a commitment from Brooks. Advertisement The 247Sports Composite rankings have Brooks rated as the No. 13 Georgia prospect and No. 14 edge rusher in the 2026 recruiting class. Brooks is also the No. 112 overall recruit in the class. As Johnson mentioned, Georgia and Alabama have been the two favorites for Brooks for quite some time. The Texas Longhorns and USC Trojans were involved in the edge rusher's recruitment as late as the second week of June. However, On3's Hayes Fawcett reported on June 11 that Brooks cancelled his remaining official visits to Texas and USC. With that announcement, Brooks set his attention on Georgia and Alabama.
