Georgia Football has done it again.
After landing the No. 2 outside linebacker in the 2025 draft class, Zayden Walker, earlier this week, the Bulldogs have also locked in the best tight end for next year.
Elyiss Williams, a five-star tight end from Folkston, GA, tells Hayes Fawcett of On3 that he has "officially" shut down his recruitment and will no longer take any more official visits.
“I’m locked in! GO DAWGS," Williams said.
Williams initially committed to the Georgia Bulldogs in April of last year, telling On3, "The talks with Coach Smart and Coach Hartley stood out. I grew up on the Georgia Bulldogs! I have an opportunity to stay home and be a part of the dynasty, that's a tough decision to deny."
However, ahead of his senior season, Williams chose to open up his options with rumors of him potentially flipping to Miami, Florida State, Florida, or Tennessee.
But following his official visit to Athens with tight ends coach Todd Hartley and head coach Kirby Smart last weekend, he'll be sticking to repping the Red and Black.
At 6-foot-7 and 235 pounds, Williams is a massive tight end and carries it well on the football field and basketball court as a dual-sport athlete.
He enters his final year at Camden County High School after hauling in 25 passes for 530 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023. He also posted 15.4 points and 10.5 rebounds on the basketball court for the Wildcats as a junior.
Zayden Walker Officially Commits to Georgia
Walker (6-foot-1, 225 pounds) officially committed to the Bulldogs on Wednesday, June 7.
The Schley County (Ga) star is a two-way player who racked up 40 tackles (16.5 tackles for loss), 27 QB hits, seven sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pass breakup on defense last fall. And then carried the ball 77 times for 518 yards and 13 touchdowns on offense, while also catching 10 passes for 169 yards and four more scores.
Walker also plays basketball and competes in track for the Wildcats.
The Bulldogs had been after Walker since October of 2021.
