Georgia Pushing to Poach Projected $558,000 Highly Touted Star QB Away From Texas

 

In a stunning turn of events, the Georgia Bulldogs are making a serious push to flip one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation, 5-star recruit Austin Mitchell, from his commitment to Texas. Mitchell, a highly talented signal-caller who is projected to earn a staggering $558,000 in NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals by the time he steps onto a college field, has long been regarded as the future face of Texas football. But now, Georgia’s coaching staff is pulling out all the stops to lure him to Athens.

 

Mitchell, known for his strong arm, quick decision-making, and mobility in the pocket, has drawn attention from every major program in the country. The young quarterback had initially committed to Texas, citing his loyalty to the Longhorns and their growing program under head coach Steve Sarkisian. However, sources say that Georgia’s coaching staff, led by head coach Kirby Smart and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, have ramped up their efforts in recent weeks, making Mitchell a priority for their future offensive plans.

 

Georgia’s appeal, aside from its winning tradition and recent national title success, is heavily tied to its consistent ability to develop quarterbacks for the NFL. The Bulldogs have seen several quarterbacks under Smart’s guidance excel, making Georgia an enticing destination for any young quarterback with NFL aspirations. The opportunity to join a championship-caliber program while continuing to develop his game is proving irresistible to Mitchell, who is reportedly keeping an open mind about his future.

 

While Texas remains confident in holding onto Mitchell, Georgia’s relentless recruiting efforts are a reminder of the growing influence of NIL deals in college football. Mitchell’s projected $558,000 NIL package is a significant factor, and Georgia’s financial backing, combined with the allure of competing for championships, makes the Bulldogs a real threat to steal the coveted quarterback away from Texas.

 

With Mitchell’s decision expected in the coming weeks, all eyes will be on whether Georgia can successfully flip the highly sought-after prospect and add another star to their already-loaded 2025 class.
