Five-Star WR DJ Pickett Decommits from Ohio State, Commits to Georgia Bulldogs
In a significant shakeup on the college football recruiting scene, five-star wide receiver DJ Pickett has announced his decision to decommit from Ohio State and pledge his future to the Georgia Bulldogs. The talented prospect chose Georgia over strong interest from Tennessee, Clemson, and Alabama, cementing a major win for head coach Kirby Smart and his program.
Pickett, widely regarded as one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation, cited Georgia’s dynamic offensive scheme, player development track record, and championship culture as key reasons for his decision.
“I’ve thought long and hard about where I see myself thriving both on and off the field,” Pickett said in a statement. “After much prayer and discussions with my family, I know Georgia is where I belong. Coach Smart and the staff believe in me, and I can’t wait to contribute to this team.”
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 200 pounds, Pickett combines elite speed, precise route-running, and a knack for making clutch plays. His versatility and athleticism make him a dangerous weapon for the Bulldogs, who are looking to maintain their dominance in the SEC and on the national stage.
Pickett initially committed to Ohio State, drawn by their reputation for developing NFL-caliber receivers. However, a recent visit to Athens reportedly left a lasting impression. Georgia’s success in recent years, including back-to-back national championships, has solidified the program as a top destination for elite recruits.
This commitment strengthens an already impressive 2025 recruiting class for Georgia, who continue to dominate in securing top-tier talent. For Ohio State, Pickett’s decommitment marks a significant loss, while Tennessee, Clemson, and Alabama will now refocus their efforts on other targets.
As DJ Pickett looks ahead to his senior season in high school, all eyes will be on the young star as he prepares to make his mark at Georgia and beyond.
