Signing Day’s race for No. 1: Georgia battling to finish on top in 2025’s ranking of best recruiting classes

As Tuesday gets underway, Georgia is atop the national recruiting rankings for the 2025 class ahead of Wednesday’s Signing Day. Georgia leads Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, and Auburn, respectively, in total team points. 

Here’s a closer look at how the race to finish No. 1 might shake out. 

Current 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings:

1. Georgia (305.14 points) 

2. Alabama (302.50) 

3. Ohio State (302.10) 

4. Texas (297.77)

5. Auburn (294.60)

There are just 10 team points separating No. 1 and No. 5. For comparison, there are 20 points between the No. 6 team (LSU) and No. 10 (Tennessee). So the race at the very top is tight.

The biggest question to ask heading into the final stretch: Can anyone catch Georgia? 

The key names to piecing together the puzzle are unsurprisingly all five-stars: uncommitted defensive lineman Justus Terry of Manchester (Ga.); Tennessee offensive tackle commitment David Sanders of Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day; and Ohio State cornerback commitment Na’eem Offord of Birmingham (Ala.) Parker. 

Terry will announce his decision on Friday, Dec. 6, and Georgia is the unanimous 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite despite late pushes from Auburn and Texas. The addition of Terry would give Georgia 310.96 points if all else stays the same.

Sanders will sign on Wednesday, and if Ohio State flips him from the Vols, the Buckeyes would have 308.81 points if all else stays the same, which is almost two points shy of the Dawgs in this scenario. This also includes the Buckeyes hanging onto Offord, whom 247Sports National Analyst Tom Loy has forecasted to flip to Auburn on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. 

So where’s the hope for Ohio…
