Georgia flips Auburn commit, adds to elite 2026 recruiting class
Published:
Georgia made a big-time statement in the class of 2026 on Sunday afternoon.
The Bulldogs flipped 4-star linebacker Shadarius Toodle away from Auburn. He had been committed to the Tigers for nearly a year — since July of 2024.
Instead of taking his talents to the Plains, Toodle told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Sunday that he’s now committed to Georgia.
“If you want to be the best, why not play with the best?” Toodle said.
