Here are 5 Georgia football signees who could make an impact in 2025

Georgia football returns just nine starters combined off its offense and defense from its Sugar Bowl loss to Notre Dame Jan. 2 in New Orleans.

That opens the door for expanded roles for players on the roster, transfer additions and freshman from the nation’s No. 2 signing class that was wrapped up in December before the February Signing Day.

WR CJ Wiley

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Milton High star had 62 catches for 1,122 yards and 15 touchdowns last season and brings another explosive athlete to the wide receiver corps. Wiley helped lead Milton to a state title this season and an unbeaten season.

TE Elyiss Williams

The 6-foot-7, 240-pound Camden County product is a physical specimen who could find a role behind Oscar Delp and Lawson Luckie. Georgia lost tight end…
