Bulldogs at the verge of signing permanent deal with Vols commit that has a close connection to UGA.

The Georgia Bulldogs aren’t giving up in their pursuit of a 2025 Tennessee Vols commit who happens to have a close connection to UGA.

2025 four-star defensive lineman Ethan Utley committed to Tennessee in late March. This past week, Utley reaffirmed his commitment to the Vols, telling Rivals.com that he’s “all in” with Tennessee.

Utley also told Rivals.com that Syracuse and Georgia, despite his commitment to Tennessee, have continued to recruit him hard.
