4-star Auburn football LB commit flips to UGA

Former Auburn Tigers four-star linebacker commit Shadarius Toodle has flipped his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs. Toodle, who is from Cottage Hill Christian Academy (Mobile, Alabama) was previously predicted to flip his commitment to Georgia in May. Now that has become a reality and Toodle is part of Georgia’s 2026 recruiting class which now ranks fourth in 247Sports’ rankings.

Toodle is ranked as a four-star prospect on every major recruiting platform. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound linebacker committed to Georgia shortly after linebacker Thomas Davis Jr., who is the son of Georgia All-American safety Thomas Davis, closed his recruitment and confirmed his commitment to Notre Dame.

The former Auburn commit is ranked as the No. 9 linebacker recruit in the nation. Toodle is the No. 166 recruit in the country and the No. 9 prospect in Alabama. His decommitment is a major recruiting loss for Auburn, who now has just six commitments and the No. 60 recruiting class in the country. Auburn now has only two four-star commitments in the class of 2026.

Georgia co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Glenn Schumann is an elite recruiting position coach. Schumann, who has coached three Butkus Award winners at UGA, regularly looks to sign three elite linebacker recruits.

Toodle’s 2024 performance for Cottage Hill Christian Academy was exceptional. He led the team in tackles with 157, also tallying 13 tackles for loss, two sacks, and an interception. Perhaps most impressively, he achieved 20 tackles in a single game three times. He also made his mark on offense, accumulating 494 total yards and scoring three touchdowns.

Georgia already possess one of the nation’s best linebacker groups, but that does not stop inside linebacker coach Glenn Schumann from signing a trio of top 10 linebacker in almost every recruiting cycle. With Toodle…
