Georgia to receive visit from 5-star QB, elite in-state prospect in Week 12
Georgia has a huge game this Saturday night against Tennessee that will help determine its fate for the 2024 season, and at the same time the Bulldogs will be hosting a high-profile recruit that night who could determine what happens in 2025 and beyond in Athens.
A source told ESPN’s Pete Thamel that quarterback Julian Lewis, who is ESPN’s No. 2 overall recruit for the 2025 cycle, is going to unofficially visit Georgia on Saturday for the showdown against Tennessee. Lewis has already committed to USC and visited Colorado in October.

Lewis’s final collegiate destination is anything but a certainty though, as 247Sports’ Tom Loy recently predicted that the Carrollton (Ga.) High 5-star stud is trending toward a flip to join Deion Sanders at Colorado.
Lewis was the top player in the 2026 cycle but reclassified, so now the Georgia product is very much in play to stay in-state and head to Athens to play for Kirby Smart. Lewis has visited Georgia more than a dozen times, but he did commit to USC in August of 2023.

Georgia already has a commitment from 4-star quarterback Ryan Montgomery, but the Bulldogs are still recruiting a 2nd quarterback for their 2025 class. Montgomery is also expected on Georgia’s campus this weekend for an unofficial visit.
