BREAKING: The Georgia Bulldogs have just landed a major commitment as 4-star cornerback Jerry Outhouse Jr. from Fort Worth, Texas, announces he will join the team for the 2027 class. This exciting news broke on March 6, 2023, during a live reveal on CBS Sports’ YouTube channel, where Outhouse confirmed his decision to choose Georgia over strong contenders like Texas Tech, Florida, Arizona State, and UCLA.
Outhouse, a standout at 6-foot 1/2 and weighing 180 pounds, expressed his enthusiasm for joining Georgia, stating, “Every time I went down they showed me love. They just landed a hard worker. I’m going to come in, day in and day out and give 110 percent.” His commitment is a significant boost to Georgia’s secondary, following a robust recruitment cycle focused on enhancing their defensive lineup.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 25 cornerback and the 185th prospect overall by 247Sports Composite, Outhouse is the sixth commitment for the Bulldogs’ 2027 class and the second defensive back, joining five-star recruit Donte Wright from Long Beach, California.

These strategic moves are part of a broader effort to fortify the team’s defense, especially under the guidance of defensive backs coach Donte Williams, with whom Outhouse has fostered a strong rapport. “The relationship between me and Donte is something special,” Outhouse shared with 247Sports. “Everyone sees how many guys they’ve put in the draft. I feel like if I go there, it would be something special.”
As the Bulldogs continue to build a formidable roster, Outhouse’s commitment signals Georgia’s ongoing pursuit of excellence on the field.
