ATHENS – After signing just one quarterback in the 2024 class in four-star Ryan Puglisi, Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs must land one of the nation’s best in the 2025 cycle.
The clear target is 5-star Julian Lewis. The elite signal-caller out of Carrollton (GA) is currently committed to Southern Cal, but he’s been a major target for offensive coordinator Mike Bobo for a long time now, and the Bulldogs have hosted him on campus consistently over the last 24 months.
The elite 6-foot-1 180-pounder plans to be back in Athens for another visit on March 14th, but he won’t be the only big-time quarterback visiting Athens around that time.
Dawg Post confirmed that dual-threat quarterback Matt Zollers. The 6-foot-4 200-pounder out of Spring-Ford High School in Royersford, Pennsylvania told us this week that while he doesn’t have a specific date planned just yet, he does plan on visiting Georgia for a spring practice.
The Bulldogs start spring practice on March 12th and will practice for the next five weeks leading up to their annual G-Day scrimmage inside Sanford Stadium on April 13th.
Lewis, ranked as the No. 8 overall prospect in the country, knows he’s a wanted man in Athens. For now, Lewis is set to play for Lincoln Riley out west, but several sources tell Dawg Post that the Bulldogs are still firmly in the race. The Carrollton (GA) star also plans to enroll and early enroll for the 2025 class, so a final decision will be made by the end of the summer.
However, whether Lewis decides to stay at Southern Cal or transfer elsewhere, in Segundo Matt Zollers is reportedly a freshman and will be a name to watch. Mike Bobo and the Dawgs released Zollers in mid-January, and looking at his junior film, the reason is clear. He’s a big guy with good feet and can make plays with his feet. Shows good hand skills and makes good football decisions.
He looks the part and shows lively and accurate hand position with the ball on the wing. As a junior, Zollers was 182 of 290 (63%) for 2,917 yards, 37 touchdowns and two INTs. He rushed 67 times for 431 yards and seven touchdowns.
Zollers is the No. 8 QB in the country and the No. 85 prospect in the Class of 2025..
