The good times keep rolling in Athens.

Georgia extended its current winning streak to six games when it pulled away from Texas for a 35-10 victory on Saturday night, but that wasn’t the only ‘win’ the program earned this weekend.

On Sunday, Class of 2028 quarterback Jayden Wade announced his college commitment, and he chose to continue his athletic career with the Bulldogs. Wade is currently ranked as the No. 1 overall player in the freshman class by 247Sports and attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

Wade unofficially visited Georgia when Kirby Smart’s team hosted Alabama on Sept. 27, and he had previously made a trip to the campus in late June as well.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound signal-caller also holds offers from the likes of Auburn, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M.

Wade currently plays under IMG head coach Greg Studrawa, a former Buckeyes assistant coach. He started his first varsity season this fall and finished with 1,383 yards, 20 TDs and just two interceptions on 60.8% completion, which all came while the team went 9-0 on the year.

To little surprise, Wade is the first member of Georgia’s 2028 recruiting class and places the Dawgs right behind Ohio State with the No. 2 overall class for that year.
