In a surprising twist on National Signing Day, 4-star running back Ousmane Kromah has decommitted from Georgia, leaving the Bulldogs’ 2025 recruiting class with a major void at the position. Kromah, who had been committed to Georgia since October, had long been a coveted target, ranking as the No. 4 running back in the nation and No. 73 overall player according to 247Sports.
The decommitment marks a significant setback for head coach Kirby Smart, as Kromah had been a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ 2025 recruiting class. The talented back from Leesburg, Georgia, had built a strong relationship with Georgia’s coaching staff and seemed to be a natural fit for the program. However, despite his commitment, Kromah had continued to show interest in other schools, particularly Florida State.
This past weekend, Kromah visited Florida State, signaling that Georgia might be losing its grip on his recruitment. His decision to officially decommit and sign with the Seminoles is a bitter blow for the Bulldogs, who had hoped to secure a top-tier running back in this class.
The timing of the decommitment couldn’t be worse for Georgia, as the program now finds itself scrambling to address the sudden loss of a star recruit. The Bulldogs only have one other running back commit in this class, 3-star Bo Walker, and the lack of a dynamic prospect at the position could leave Georgia vulnerable.
While Georgia has a strong depth chart at running back for the upcoming seasons, Kromah’s departure underscores the volatility of recruiting. Georgia fans are hopeful that Smart and his staff can rebound quickly, either by adding another highly ranked running back through the transfer portal or finding a new recruit to fill the gap left by Kromah.
