Georgia’s push to land defensive backs Jacobi Pasley and Preston Glasco has become one of the more interesting recruiting stories around Kirby Smart’s board, especially after the Bulldogs recently pulled top 100 offensive lineman Kennedee Jackson away from Florida.
Pasley and Glasco are the names to watch now. Pasley is committed to West Virginia, while Glasco is pledged to UConn, and both visited Georgia officially on June 19.
That trip mattered. They were already committed elsewhere, but the Bulldogs still got them on campus and gave Smart a chance to make his pitch in person.
Neither prospect has flipped yet, but Georgia clearly has their attention.
The bigger issue for the Bulldogs is what these two could mean for the class. Pasley is just inside the top 900, and Glasco is unranked, but rankings are not the point here. Georgia does not have a single defensive back committed right now, which makes this pursuit a lot more important than the recruiting profiles alone might suggest.
That shortage looked even worse a couple of months ago when Georgia had two top 100 defensive backs in the fold. Then Donte Wright flipped to Miami and Jerry Outhouse chose UCLA.
Pasley and Glasco are not on that level, but Georgia still needs bodies in the secondary, and Smart has already shown he is willing to target players he believes can handle the standard in Athens. If he thinks they fit, that matters more than where the recruiting services placed them.
For Georgia, landing either one would not just be another add. It would plug a glaring hole.

Sanford Stadiums Second Year Beer Boom Got Bigger Than Anyone Expected
Sanford Stadiums second year of alcohol sales turned into a much bigger business than the first. Georgias per-game alcohol revenue jumped 32.1% in the 2025 season compared with 2024, a notable increase for a home schedule that included seven games and produced more than $4.3 million in gross revenue. It was another sign that the concession side of game day has quickly become part of the financial picture around Bulldogs football.
Georgias numbers also placed it near the top of the conference conversation, finishing second in the SEC in alcohol sales revenue behind Texas A&M. For a program that continues to draw massive crowds and premium matchups in Athens, the market clearly has room to grow, even if the biggest individual spikes can still come from the most anticipated home dates.
