Four-star quarterback Colton Nussmeier announced his commitment to the University of Georgia on Friday, choosing the Bulldogs over Arkansas and UCLA, according to ESPN.

Nussmeier is ranked the No. 4 pocket passer in the 2027 recruiting class by ESPN. His commitment adds a high-priority prospect to Georgia's future depth at the quarterback position.

The Bulldogs have been among the most consistent programs in college football over the past several years, winning back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022. Landing a top-rated quarterback prospect in an early cycle keeps Georgia near the top of the 2027 recruiting rankings.

Nussmeier's last name carries recognition in football circles. The family has deep ties to the game, and his development at the high school level has drawn significant attention from programs across the country. Georgia beat out two programs in Arkansas and UCLA that had also been actively recruiting him.
