There was no actual Bulldog to emerge during a Georgia football signing day announcement Wednesday.

It was more substance than sizzle for this 2025 signing class, which was largely lined up before the first day of the early signing period arrived.

The Bulldogs missed out on Appling County linebacker Tavion Wallace, who stuck with Arkansas, and Lee County defensive lineman Jeramiah McCloud, who signed with Florida but held onto quarterback Ryan Montgomery.
