In a surprising turn of events, 5-star quarterback Will Howard, standing 6’4″ and weighing 236 pounds, has officially decommitted from the Ohio State Buckeyes and committed to the Georgia Bulldogs. The highly sought-after recruit made his decision after an intense recruitment process, with top contenders such as the Tennessee Volunteers and Missouri Tigers also vying for his signature. Howard’s commitment to Georgia marks a significant victory for the Bulldogs as they continue to bolster their already impressive recruiting class.
Howard, regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, initially committed to Ohio State in an early commitment. However, recent visits and interactions with other programs seemed to have swayed his decision. His decision to commit to Georgia is a major development for the Bulldogs, who have consistently been among the nation’s elite programs under head coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs have built a reputation for developing top-tier quarterbacks and competing at the highest levels, including winning back-to-back national championships. With Howard joining their ranks, Georgia adds another potential game-changer to their roster.
Georgia’s quarterback room will undoubtedly benefit from the addition of Howard. His combination of size, arm strength, and mobility gives him the tools to thrive in the Bulldogs’ offensive scheme. Howard’s playing style mirrors the kind of dual-threat quarterback that Georgia has successfully used in recent years, and his potential for growth in Athens is immense. Many have already started drawing comparisons between Howard and current Georgia quarterbacks, anticipating that he could be a future leader for the Bulldogs.
Tennessee and Missouri, both of whom were in the running for Howard’s commitment, will now look to redirect their attention to other top quarterbacks in the class. Tennessee, in particular, has been building a strong recruiting class under head coach Josh Heupel, and the loss of Howard may be a tough blow. However, the Volunteers still have a solid pipeline of talent to continue competing in the SEC. Similarly, Missouri will need to focus on identifying other top quarterbacks to target as they aim to improve their roster in the years to come.
For Georgia, landing Will Howard is a significant milestone, further solidifying their position as a powerhouse in college football recruiting. With a future star like Howard in the fold, the Bulldogs look poised to remain among the elite programs in the nation for years to come.
