Georgia football employs creative recruiting strategies, including leveraging former players to attract new talent. Recently, former linebacker Jalon Walker played a key role in securing the Bulldogs’ latest recruiting victory.
Georgia football secured a major recruiting win on Sunday with the commitment of four-star linebacker Shadarius Toodle, previously pledged to rival Auburn. Ranked No. 166 overall in the 247Sports composite, Toodle’s flip is a significant coup for the Bulldogs.
Head coach Kirby Smart and his staff led the recruiting charge, but they enlisted former standout linebacker Jalon Walker to seal the deal. Walker, who capped his historic Georgia career in 2024 by winning the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker, provided a powerful influence. His involvement, highlighted by a key moment connecting with Toodle, likely tipped the scales in Georgia’s favor. While the Bulldogs might have still swayed Toodle without Walker, his presence made the process smoother.
This commitment fuels Georgia’s recruiting momentum, with insiders predicting 10 more commits in the next 10 days for Smart’s program.
