SEC recruiting rankings ahead of early signing day

The Georgia Bulldogs have the top 2025 recruiting class in the SEC and in the nation. Georgia is looking to sign its second straight No. 1 recruiting class.

The early signing period, which runs from Wednesday, Dec. 4 to Friday, Dec. 6, is when the vast majority of high school recruits sign to play at the next level. Georgia football and coach Kirby Smart still have a few remaining recruiting targets including five-star defensive tackle Justus Terry, who is announcing his commitment on Friday.

The Florida Gators have made the biggest recent recruiting surge in the SEC. Florida now has 23 total commitments. The Gators, amid the previous uncertainty of head coach Billy Napier’s coaching future, have added 12 commitments since the start of November. Florida had the country’s No. 51 recruiting class back in early November, but now the Gators have the No. 11 class of 2025.

Recruiting in the SEC is extremely competitive. The SEC has five of the six top recruiting classes in the country and 10 of the top 15 classes. Year after year, the nation’s best talent resides in the SEC.
