Georgia football rumors: 5-star Crystall Ball updates on KJ Bolden, Ryan Wingo

Kirby Smart and Georgia have been running the recruiting game at a historic level in recent years and they don’t appear to be stopping by any stretch. They currently hold the No. 1-ranked class for the 2024 cycle with three of the class’s 5-star recruits already committed to come to Athens ahead of next season.

That number could be growing in the coming months.

247Sports recently examined where all of the uncommitted 5-star recruits stand at this stage in the process. And two players in that group have strong Crystal Ball predictions for Georgia football.

Safety KJ Bolden out of Buford, GA, the No. 6 ranked player in the 247Sports Composite, has three predictions for the Bulldogs already, including one from recruiting guru Steve Wiltfong and Georgia insider Kipp Adams. The most recent came from Florida State insider Chris Nee, which is notable given that the Noles are another program considered warm on Bolden.

The other in the mix for UGA is the No. 24 recruit in the Composite (No. 7 overall for 247Sports’ own rankings), wide receiver Ryan Wingo out of St. Louis, MO. Previously, Steve Wiltfong had a Crystal Ball in for the Dawgs with him as well. That, however, has shifted recently with Wiltfong changing his tune with a prediction for soon-to-be SEC rival Texas following his June 16 visit with the Longhorns.

Of course, this isn’t the end for the Bulldogs if they arent able to get Wingo, especially with persistent rumblings that they could flip the No. 2 player in the class, WR Jeremiah Smith, from Ohio State to join Dylan Raiola in Athens. Moreover, there’s still plenty of time to work on Wingo.

What’s clear, though, is that the three 5-star commits that Georgia currently has is far from the end of the line.
