Tre Geathers III commits to Florida over Georgia for 2027 season
Summary

Three-star linebacker Tre Geathers III has committed to the Florida Gators for the 2027 season, opting for Florida despite significant interest from the Georgia Bulldogs. Geathers, the son of former Georgia defensive end Robert Geathers II, was a highly sought-after recruit. He was also considering South Carolina and Tennessee. With this decision, he will not follow his father's path at Georgia, where he could have contributed to the defense next season. Geathers, ranked as the No. 56 safety overall for his class, will aim to make an impact in Gainesville.
