BREAKING: 5-Star QB Kyle Trask Shocks College Football World With Commitment to Georgia Bulldogs Over LSU, Ohio State, and Miami Hurricanes
ATHENS, Ga. — In a jaw-dropping turn of events that has set social media ablaze and sent recruiting analysts scrambling, five-star quarterback Kyle Trask, the top-rated signal-caller in the Class of 2025, has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs, stunning rivals LSU, Ohio State, and the Miami Hurricanes.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound phenom out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas announced his decision in a primetime commitment ceremony broadcast live on ESPN, flanked by his parents and high school coaches. In a move that left fans speechless, Trask unzipped his jacket to reveal a black Georgia shirt with bold red letters—officially signaling his intent to lead the Bulldogs into the future.
“I prayed on it, thought about it for months, and Georgia just felt right,” Trask said, smiling wide. “Athens is home now. Go Dawgs.”
A Recruitment That Captivated the Nation
For over a year, Kyle Trask’s recruitment had been the most watched in the country. As the No. 1 overall quarterback in multiple recruiting services and the No. 3 player overall in the ESPN 300, Trask held offers from every powerhouse in the country.
LSU was considered the early frontrunner thanks to strong ties with offensive coordinator Joe Sloan and a clear path to early playing time. Ohio State came in hot late, with Ryan Day pushing hard and offering a multi-year development pitch rooted in NFL success. Miami offered a hometown advantage, elite NIL opportunities, and a “come home and be a hero” narrative.
Yet, in the end, it was Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs who pulled off the unthinkable, flipping momentum in the final stretch to land a generational talent many assumed would never leave the South Florida or Baton Rouge pipeline.
Kirby Smart’s Masterclass in Recruiting
Once again, Kirby Smart proved why he’s one of the most feared recruiters in college football.
Trask’s commitment represents Georgia’s biggest quarterback win since Justin Fields and comes at a time when the program is actively reloading for another championship run. Smart, who made multiple visits to Las Vegas this spring, made Trask a top priority after identifying him as the “missing piece” for Georgia’s evolving offense.
“This is a monumental win for our program,” Smart said. “Kyle’s talent speaks for itself, but what stood out to us was his leadership, his character, and his drive to be great. He’s a perfect fit for what we’re building here.”
Trask reportedly made a secret visit to Athens two weeks prior to his announcement, spending time with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, star wideout Jaylen McCoy, and even Georgia legend Matthew Stafford.
“He soaked it all in,” a Georgia staffer said. “By the time he left, he was family.”
The Quarterback Georgia Needed
The Bulldogs have had a rotating cast of capable quarterbacks since Stetson Bennett led them to back-to-back national championships, but none carried the elite ceiling that Trask brings.
Trask possesses NFL size, elite arm strength, touch, and mobility—a rare blend in today’s game. His junior season stats were eye-popping:
- Passing: 3,910 yards, 47 touchdowns, 4 interceptions
- Rushing: 502 yards, 7 touchdowns
- Completion rate: 71.4%
- Team record: 14–1 (Nevada state champion)
He led Bishop Gorman to a state title while routinely dissecting defenses with poise and precision. His ability to extend plays, throw on the run, and command the offense has drawn comparisons to Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence.
“He’s the best quarterback I’ve ever scouted at this level,” said Elite 11 coach Trent Dilfer. “His football IQ is off the charts, and physically, he checks every box.”
The Dawg House Is Now QB Heaven
Georgia’s quarterback room is now stacked with talent.
While former five-star Gunner Stockton and freshman Kamden Brooks are both competing for the current job, Trask’s arrival injects an entirely new level of competition—and pressure. It also signals that Georgia is not content to sit back and rely solely on defense.
With Trask, the Bulldogs are positioning themselves to run a more vertical, pass-oriented offense that can match pace with anyone.
“Georgia has the defense. Now they have the quarterback who can beat you with 45 points,” said ESPN’s Greg McElroy. “That’s scary.”
The Fallout for LSU, Ohio State, and Miami
Trask’s decision sent shockwaves through the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC. All three finalist programs had cleared room in their QB depth charts in anticipation of his arrival.
LSU Tigers: The Early Leader Misses
LSU fans had long viewed Trask as the heir apparent to Jayden Daniels. He’d visited Baton Rouge more than any other campus and reportedly had a strong connection with Brian Kelly and QB coach Joe Sloan.
“This hurts,” one LSU insider admitted. “We thought we had him locked.”
The Tigers must now pivot quickly, with four-star in-state quarterback CJ Robicheaux likely becoming a top priority.
Ohio State: The Quiet Contender
Ryan Day put together a serious late run, hosting Trask for a private visit in April and emphasizing the program’s rich QB-to-NFL pipeline (Fields, Stroud, McCord). Trask was said to be intrigued by Day’s offensive mind, but the Midwest atmosphere just couldn’t match Georgia’s overall package.
“We’ll be fine,” Day told reporters. “We’re still recruiting at a high level and we’ll adjust.”
Miami Hurricanes: NIL Not Enough
Miami’s pitch centered on being a hometown hero and a seven-figure NIL deal through the LifeWallet collective. While the money was appealing, sources say Trask was more focused on development, coaching stability, and big-stage football.
“Georgia’s culture, man. It’s different,” Trask reportedly told a teammate after his Athens visit.
Trask’s Inner Circle Weighs In
Trask’s parents, coaches, and mentors have all voiced overwhelming support for the decision.
His father, Eric Trask, played defensive end at Arizona and emphasized the family’s values.
“Kyle didn’t choose flash. He chose fit,” Eric said. “Georgia offered everything we were looking for: stability, development, and a commitment to winning the right way.”
His high school coach, Kenny Sanchez, called Georgia “the perfect place” for Trask to grow.
“They’re gonna unleash him,” Sanchez said. “Watch what happens.”
A Future Star in the SEC Spotlight
With Trask now headed to Athens, the countdown to his debut has begun.
He’ll graduate early and enroll in January 2025, setting him up to compete in spring camp and potentially push for the starting job in Year 1.
“I’m not coming to sit,” Trask said confidently. “I’m coming to compete.”
Paired with elite weapons like Jaylen McCoy, Jace Mathews, and rising tight end Trey Kilpatrick, Georgia’s offense could be poised to take a giant leap in 2025.
What This Means for the National Landscape
Make no mistake—this is a program-altering commitment that could shift the national balance of power. Trask gives Georgia its first No. 1 QB since Fields, and this time, the coaching staff appears better equipped to develop and build around a quarterback of his caliber.
“This isn’t just a Georgia win,” said 247Sports director Steve Wiltfong. “It’s a statement that Georgia can out-recruit anyone, anywhere, for any position.”
For rivals like Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee, it means yet another arms race in the SEC—where the Bulldogs continue to raise the bar.
Trask’s Brand and NIL Future
Though Trask reportedly turned down higher NIL figures from Miami and Ohio State, he’s still expected to become one of the most marketable players in the country.
Georgia has positioned itself as an NIL-savvy program with partnerships that prioritize long-term athlete branding.
Trask will reportedly sign with Eclipse Sports Agency and launch a media series called “The Dawg Days”—a documentary-style vlog detailing his journey to Athens.
The Dawgs Just Got Dangerous
Kyle Trask’s commitment isn’t just a win. It’s a declaration of dominance.
The Bulldogs now have the top-rated quarterback, the top-rated wide receiver, and the No. 1-ranked 2025 recruiting class. In an era where elite quarterbacks drive championship contention, Georgia has landed the ultimate prize.
Kirby Smart now has every piece in place to launch another title run—this time, with a generational QB talent under center.
For Kyle Trask, the message is clear:
He’s not just coming to Athens to compete. He’s coming to win it all.
