BREAKING: Top 2 Most Wanted SEC RB Flips Commitment to Georgia Bulldogs over Alabama, Texas Longhorns, and Others
—
The sports world was rocked today as Corey “C-Train” Mitchell, the nation’s #2-ranked running back in the 2025 class, announced his shocking commitment flip to the Georgia Bulldogs. The 6’1″, 220-pound phenom had long been considered a lock for Alabama, with Texas and LSU making late pushes, but Georgia emerged as the dark horse and landed the prized recruit.
The Announcement
Mitchell made the announcement during a live-streamed event at his high school gym in Birmingham, Alabama. Dressed in a neutral black tracksuit, he built suspense by placing hats from Alabama, Texas, LSU, and Georgia on the table.
“I’ve thought long and hard about this decision,” Mitchell began. “I want to thank all the coaches who believed in me. But at the end of the day, I need to go where my heart feels at home. That’s why I’ll be taking my talents to Athens, Georgia!”
As the crowd erupted, Mitchell grabbed the red and black Georgia hat, cementing his decision.
The Shocking Flip
Mitchell had been verbally committed to Alabama for over a year, with Nick Saban personally overseeing his recruitment. Rumors swirled last week that Georgia head coach Kirby Smart made a last-minute in-home visit, accompanied by star running back Kendall Milton, who shared his success story at Georgia.
“They showed me how I’d fit in their system,” Mitchell explained after the announcement. “It’s not just about football—it’s about life after the game. Coach Smart, Coach Dell McGee, and the entire staff made me feel like family.”
Why Georgia?
The Bulldogs’ recent dominance in the SEC, combined with their ability to develop NFL-caliber running backs, played a significant role in Mitchell’s decision. Georgia’s pitch highlighted its balanced offensive scheme, a championship-contending roster, and a clear path to early playing time.
“Georgia is Running Back U,” Mitchell said. “They’ve sent so many guys to the league, and I want to be next. Plus, the fans are incredible. I can’t wait to run out Between the Hedges.”
The Fallout
The decision left Alabama fans reeling. Social media erupted with reactions from Crimson Tide supporters, many of whom accused Georgia of “stealing” their future star. Texas and LSU fans, though disappointed, praised Mitchell for making a decision that was best for him.
What’s Next?
Mitchell plans to enroll early at Georgia, joining an already loaded 2025 class. With Mitchell in the mix, Georgia is poised to maintain its dominance in the SEC and potentially extend its national championship streak.
“Georgia is building something special,” Mitchell said. “And I’m ready to be a part of it.”
As Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs continue to dominate on the recruiting trail, one thing is clear—Georgia’s grip on the SEC
throne isn’t loosening anytime soon.
