The Georgia Bulldogs have struck gold on the recruiting trail once again, securing a commitment from five-star running back Cole Cabana. In a dramatic turn of events, Cabana flipped his commitment from Michigan to Georgia, delivering a massive win for head coach Kirby Smart and his staff.
Cabana, a 6’0”, 200-pound standout from Dexter, Michigan, is ranked among the top running backs in the 2025 class. Known for his blazing speed, elite vision, and ability to contribute as a receiver, Cabana is a game-changing talent who fits perfectly into Georgia’s powerhouse offensive system. His versatility and explosiveness make him one of the most coveted recruits in the nation.
In his announcement, Cabana expressed excitement about joining Georgia’s storied program. “Georgia is the place where I know I can reach my full potential,” he said. “The coaching staff, the culture, and the opportunity to compete for championships—it’s everything I’ve dreamed of. I’m grateful for Michigan, but this is the best decision for my future.”
The flip is a significant loss for Michigan, who had long been considered a lock for Cabana’s services. The Wolverines had built their pitch around Cabana’s ties to the state and their history of developing top-tier running backs. However, Georgia’s track record of producing NFL-ready backs and competing for national championships proved to be the deciding factors.
For Georgia, landing Cabana further solidifies their dominance in recruiting under Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs, fresh off another successful season, continue to reload with elite talent as they aim to sustain their run as a national powerhouse. Cabana is expected to make an immediate impact in Athens, joining a talented backfield that has consistently been a focal point of Georgia’s offensive success.
Fans in Athens are already celebrating the addition, envisioning Cabana as the next great Bulldog running back in a lineage that includes legends like Herschel Walker, Nick Chubb, and D’Andre Swift.
With Cabana now on board, Georgia’s 2025 recruiting class continues to trend toward being one of the best in the country. For the Bulldogs, the future looks brighter than ever as they keep stacking talent and aiming for more national titles.
