In the early stages of the 2027 recruiting cycle, Georgia is making waves, though they still have a key position to fill: quarterback. While their list of public QB targets is short, a new opportunity has emerged that could change the game for the Bulldogs.
DJ Hunter, a promising three-star quarterback from Buford, GA, has recently decommitted from Kentucky. Standing at 6’2” and weighing 200 pounds, Hunter had been committed to the Wildcats since April 2025. His decision to reopen his recruitment could be a golden opportunity for Georgia.
Ranked as the No. 597 overall player in the country and the No. 41 quarterback in his class by 247Sports composite rankings, Hunter is also the No. 67 player from Georgia. Despite having just three scholarship offers so far-from Kentucky, Ole Miss, and South Florida-his potential makes him an intriguing prospect.
Georgia, with its eyes on the future, already has the No. 1 quarterback from the 2028 class committed. This could make it challenging to attract another elite QB for 2027. However, Hunter, being an in-state talent, might just be the perfect fit for the Bulldogs’ needs.
While Georgia has yet to make a move, a scholarship offer from Kirby Smart and his team could swiftly position Georgia as Hunter's top choice. The Bulldogs have a chance to capitalize on this local talent, potentially adding depth and skill to their quarterback roster.
