Overview
- Alius Mayo flipped his commitment to Georgia on Tuesday, Sept. 29, after making an official visit to Athens on Sept. 26.
- Mayo is rated a four-star recruit and the nation’s top junior-college cornerback; he measures 6-foot-4, 190 pounds and had 30 tackles, one interception and five pass breakups in 11 games at Modesto College in 2025.
- Rivals insider Allen Trieu and other reports credit associate head coach and defensive backs coach Donte Williams for playing a pivotal role because of his own JUCO background and rapport with Mayo.
- Mayo arrived with more than 10 scholarship offers from Power Five programs, including Alabama, Kentucky and Houston, which increased his leverage late in the recruiting cycle.
- The addition gives Georgia its 21st verbal for 2027 and boosts the class’s talent profile, though national rank estimates vary across services and the flip mainly affects depth and early playing potential in the Bulldogs’ secondary.
