In a surprising turn of events, four-star cornerback Onis Konanbanny has switched his commitment from the Tennessee Volunteers to the Georgia Bulldogs for the 2025 recruiting class. Konanbanny, a highly sought-after defensive prospect, initially committed to Tennessee but has now decided to join Georgia, one of the premier programs in college football. His decision marks a significant shift in the recruiting landscape, as both schools had been vying for his talents for months.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Konanbanny, known for his impressive athleticism and lockdown coverage ability, had been a key target for Tennessee’s coaching staff. His original commitment to the Volunteers was seen as a big win for head coach Josh Heupel and his team. However, the Bulldogs, under head coach Kirby Smart, managed to secure the talented cornerback’s services with a strong recruiting pitch and their continued success on the national stage.
Konanbanny’s decision to decommit from Tennessee and commit to Georgia is a testament to the power of the Bulldogs’ program, which has consistently been a dominant force in the SEC and college football in recent years. Georgia has established itself as one of the top schools for defensive recruits, and Konanbanny’s commitment further solidifies their status as a recruiting powerhouse.
This move is a blow to Tennessee’s recruiting efforts, but the Volunteers will look to regroup and continue their pursuit of top-tier defensive talent for their 2025 class.
