The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart continue to deliver power moves before reaching game day. And the No. 2 ranked Bulldogs scored a major recruiting win before taking on Ole Miss in landing four-star C.J. Wiley.
The Bulldogs earned the verbal commitment from the talented wide receiver Wiley Wednesday, per On3.com recruiting insider Hayes Fawcett. Wiley is a significant local win on the recruiting trail, as he hails from nearby Milton.
Georgia is bolstering its size and downfield speed through the Wiley commit. Wiley comes to Athens as a “Big-framed outside receiving target with excellent physical tools, multi-sport context, and football pedigree” per 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks. Brooks also compared Wiley to Texas A&M wide receiver Noah Thomas.
Wiley's dad is former LSU and NFL defensive lineman Chuck Wiley. The elder Wiley is best known for playing six seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
The newest Bulldogs commit additionally stars on the track. He blazed the 100-meter with a wind-aided time of 10.83 during the spring 2024 track season. Wiley also laces the track spikes up in the 200 and 400-meter runs.
He averaged an astonishing 21.7 yards per catch and caught 14 touchdowns his junior year. Wiley has guided Milton to the perfect 10-0 regular season. The towering and fast option has caught 40 passes for 680 yards and scored eight touchdowns for his senior season, per MaxPreps.

Wiley emerges as the fifth different wide receiver pledge for Georgia. He also joins safety Rasean Dinkins of Warner Robins as the November pledges for the Bulldogs. Dinkins committed two days before Wiley's decision.
