“Bad Beat For the Seminoles”: College Football Fans Excited For C.J. Wiley Committing To the Georgia Bulldogs

The Georgia Bulldogs are known for finding top talent in the state. One player who recently de-committed from the Florida State Seminoles program was wide receiver C.J. Wiley. A lot of college football fans praised him for making that decision after Florida State has had a bad 2024 season.

The Bulldogs are one of the best teams in the country in finding top high school talent. Did they take advantage of trying to find another star player from the state or did they do something else?

According to Hayes Fawcett of on3sports.com, wide receiver C.J. Wiley has committed to Georgia after de-committing from the Florida State Seminoles. Wiley is a four-star recruit. He is from Milton, Georgia.

Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart was able to get another in-state recruit. This is another big win for his college football program.

It will be interesting to see how big of a role Wiley will play within the Bulldogs football program. He is not the only player who used to commit for the Florida State Seminoles and decided to change his mind. There will be a lot more high school football players who may choose Georgia or another school instead of going to Florida State because of the way that Florida State has performed this season.
