Georgia will host the top linebacker in the country on Tuesday.

As of March 11, 2025, the University of Georgia has already secured commitments from two of the nation’s top linebacker prospects for the class of 2025: five-star recruits Zayden Walker and Jadon Perlotte. Both players committed to the Bulldogs in 2024, with Walker announcing his decision on June 5, 2024, and Perlotte committing earlier that year.

Zayden Walker, hailing from Schley County High School in Ellaville, Georgia, is widely regarded as the nation’s premier linebacker in his class. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 225 pounds, Walker’s junior season statistics are impressive: 40 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. His athleticism extends to the offensive side of the ball, where he amassed 518 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 77 carries, along with 10 receptions for 169 yards and four touchdowns. Walker’s versatility and instinctive play have drawn comparisons to current Bulldog linebacker Jalon Walker (no relation), suggesting he could excel in multiple positions upon joining the team.

Jadon Perlotte, another five-star linebacker, has also committed to Georgia for the 2025 class. Perlotte’s decision further bolsters the Bulldogs’ defensive lineup, reflecting the program’s strong recruiting efforts under head coach Kirby Smart and defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann.

Given these commitments, there is no current information indicating that the University of Georgia is hosting any additional top linebacker recruits on Tuesday, March 11, 2025. The Bulldogs’ recruiting class is already strengthened by the early pledges of Walker and Perlotte, positioning them well for future defensive success.
