Georgia added another touted prospect to its 2025 recruiting class on Wednesday: five-star linebacker Zayden Walker, the No. 10 overall player and the No. 2 linebacker in the cycle, according to 247Sports. Walker visited Georgia last week and committed days later.

"They [Georgia] check every box. Getting me to the next level, making me the best I can be on and off the field. Great head coach, good winning program. They really check every box," Walker told 247Sports. "So it's more of a 'Why not?' type of deal with Georgia."

Walker's commitment bumps Georgia six spots into the top 10 of the 2025 recruiting rankings. The Bulldogs have the No. 9 recruiting class behind the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas A&M and Alabama. The Ellaville, Georgia, product is the Bulldogs' highest-ranked commitment and the second-ranked player in the state behind five-star DL Elijah Griffin — another Georgia target.
