Georgia Bulldogs Land 4-Star Khamari Brooks as Momentum Builds Toward Another Massive Recruiting Haul in 2025 and Beyond
The Georgia Bulldogs continue their recruiting hot streak, and the addition of 4-star prospect Khamari Brooks is just the latest proof that Kirby Smart and his staff remain firmly entrenched atop the college football recruiting world. Brooks, a powerful and versatile athlete who’s quickly risen in the ranks, adds more depth to an already elite 2025 class that is shaping up to be one of Georgia’s most well-balanced and explosive units yet. With Brooks officially on board, all eyes now turn toward who could be next to join the Bulldogs’ stacked roster of future stars.
Brooks, listed at 6’1″, 200 pounds, is a dynamic defensive back with a nose for the ball and elite closing speed. His instincts, footwork, and ability to play both safety and corner make him a valuable addition to Georgia’s evolving secondary. But perhaps most important is what his commitment signals: the Bulldogs are continuing to close on top-tier targets in key positions of need, while maintaining their presence in traditional recruiting hotbeds like Georgia, Florida, and Texas.
His decision to commit to Georgia over programs like Alabama, Tennessee, and Miami speaks volumes. Brooks praised Georgia’s coaching staff and player development track record, citing the team’s recent NFL Draft success and Smart’s defensive pedigree as major factors in his decision. That level of respect from top athletes isn’t new, but it reinforces the idea that Georgia is becoming not just a college destination, but a professional pipeline.
With Brooks now committed, Georgia’s coaching staff is pivoting to several other elite prospects who are inching closer to decisions of their own. There’s a growing belief that the Bulldogs are in strong position to land at least two more top-100 recruits by the end of the summer, continuing a streak of momentum that could help solidify Georgia’s claim to the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.
One name to watch closely is 5-star linebacker Jordan Campbell out of St. John Bosco in California. Campbell has been a priority for Georgia since his sophomore year, and his recent visit to Athens reportedly went extremely well. Sources close to Campbell say Georgia has moved into the top two alongside Oregon, with Ohio State still lingering in the background. Campbell’s ability to play sideline-to-sideline and his advanced understanding of defensive schemes make him a natural fit in Georgia’s hybrid linebacker corps. If Smart and defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann can close the deal, it would be another massive win in the national recruiting arms race.
Another potential future Dawg is offensive lineman Treyvon Matthews, a 4-star talent out of IMG Academy. At 6’6” and 315 pounds, Matthews is a plug-and-play prospect at tackle and someone who could continue Georgia’s tradition of producing dominant linemen for both college and the pros. While Alabama and Florida State have made strong pushes, Georgia’s long-standing relationship and their ability to develop offensive linemen could tip the scales in their favor. Matthews is expected to announce before the start of his senior season, and Georgia appears to be trending upward at the right time.
There’s also buzz surrounding 4-star wide receiver Devin McCay from Texas, who has emerged as a top target for the Bulldogs after a string of impressive performances on the camp circuit. McCay brings size, route-running polish, and elite ball skills to the table, and while Texas and Oklahoma were once viewed as frontrunners, Georgia has surged into serious contention following his official visit. McCay left Athens raving about Georgia’s offensive vision and the chance to be a featured weapon in the Bulldogs’ evolving passing attack. With Khamari Brooks already committed, the pitch to McCay includes being part of a stacked incoming class where iron sharpens iron.
Georgia also remains heavily involved with 5-star defensive end Marcus “Tank” Wallace from South Carolina. Wallace, who’s drawn comparisons to former Bulldog Travon Walker, is an explosive edge rusher who dominates with both speed and technique. He’s said to have a strong connection with UGA’s defensive line coach Tray Scott, and insiders believe the Bulldogs have quietly been gaining ground over Clemson and Florida. While Wallace’s recruitment is likely to stretch into the fall, Georgia is well positioned to remain in his top group until the end.
Let’s not forget about quarterback. Although Georgia already has 4-star QB Jaylen DeCarlo committed in the 2025 class, the staff is reportedly keeping close tabs on 5-star signal caller Malik Robinson, a dual-threat phenom from California who has left open the possibility of taking a second visit to Athens. While flipping a quarterback is rare, the possibility signals how Georgia’s depth and national brand continue to resonate with the best players, regardless of position or geography. Even if Robinson stays put elsewhere, Georgia is making sure the pressure stays on every target—and every rival program.
Running back is another area Georgia is looking to shore up. With multiple current Bulldogs likely headed to the NFL after this season, Georgia is focused on landing at least one elite back in the 2025 cycle. The leading candidate right now appears to be 4-star bruiser Xavier Daniels out of Louisiana. Daniels runs with power, balance, and vision, and fits the mold of a classic SEC back. His recruitment is shaping up as a Georgia-LSU battle, with Georgia potentially holding an edge due to their scheme and development success.
The coaching staff has also been making inroads with elite defensive back DJ Hayden from Florida, a 5-star corner with shutdown potential. Hayden recently included Georgia in his top five and is said to be heavily weighing early playing time and NFL preparation. The Bulldogs’ recent success in sending DBs to the league—including names like Kelee Ringo, Eric Stokes, and Lewis Cine—could make a major difference. Hayden’s decision is still months away, but Georgia is firmly in the mix.
Looking more broadly, the commitment of Khamari Brooks helps reinforce a central theme for Georgia’s recruiting strategy: stacking elite talent at every level of the defense. While offensive fireworks often grab the headlines, Smart’s blueprint has always been built around a fast, physical, and deep defense. Brooks checks all those boxes and more, and his addition serves as both a boost and a beacon. Other top-tier defenders will notice his decision, and it could trigger a domino effect.
It’s also worth noting how Georgia’s continued excellence on the recruiting trail is a testament to the culture and consistency Kirby Smart has cultivated in Athens. While other programs are dealing with turnover, NIL drama, or on-field inconsistencies, Georgia continues to recruit with clarity, focus, and momentum. The program’s stability and results speak louder than any sales pitch.
As the summer continues and more recruits take official visits, expect Georgia to remain in the headlines. The Bulldogs’ 2025 class is not just shaping up to be another top-3 haul—it may end up being the best of the Kirby Smart era. With Brooks on board and several more dominoes likely to fall, it’s becoming clear that the Bulldogs are not just reloading—they’re redefining what elite recruiting looks like.
In the coming weeks, eyes will be on July and August commitment announcements. Names like Campbell, Matthews, McCay, and Daniels could all end up in red and black by the start of the high school season. And with each commitment, Georgia only strengthens its grip on the SEC and the national college football landscape.
For now, Khamari Brooks stands as the latest gem in Georgia’s treasure chest of talent. But if the momentum holds, he’ll soon be joined by several more blue-chip prospects—each one bringing the Bulldogs closer to another dynasty-caliber class.
