The Georgia Bulldogs are set to lose a key member of their player personnel department, as a staffer is departing to join the Baylor Bears. This move marks a significant shift for Georgia’s recruiting and player development efforts, as the Bulldogs have relied heavily on their personnel staff to maintain their dominance in the SEC.
The departing staffer played an integral role in scouting, evaluating talent, and assisting with recruiting operations, helping Georgia secure top-tier classes year after year. Their expertise contributed to the program’s ability to identify and develop elite talent, which has been a cornerstone of Georgia’s success under head coach Kirby Smart. With this loss, Georgia will now need to fill the vacancy quickly to maintain their recruiting momentum.
For Baylor, this hire represents a major win, as they look to strengthen their recruiting infrastructure and player development strategies. Bringing in a staffer from one of the nation’s premier programs could give the Bears an edge in identifying talent and building a more competitive roster in the Big 12.
While Georgia’s recruiting machine remains strong, this departure underscores the constant movement within college football, where top programs are always looking to poach top personnel to gain an edge.
