Georgia football loaded up on defensive backs in the transfer portal this cycle.
It took a step to add more talent to its secondary on Friday night March 6 when four-star cornerback Jerry Outhouse Jr. announced his commitment to the Bulldogs for the 2027 class.

The 6-foot 1/2, 180-pounder from Fort Worth, Texas, picked Georgia over Texas Tech, Florida, Arizona State and UCLA. Outhouse revealed his decision on a CBS Sports YouTube channel, teasing like he would go to Texas Tech before saying it was Georgia.
“Every time I went down they showed me love,” Outhouse said. “They just landed a hard worker. I’m going to come in, day in and day out and give 110 percent.”
Outhouse is rated as the nation’s No. 25 cornerback and 185th prospect overall by the 247Sports Composite.
Outhouse is the sixth commitment in the 2027 Georgia class and second defensive back, joining five-star Donte Wright from Long Beach, Calif. Wright is still planning to take six official visits, according to Rivals.com.

Georgia added cornerbacks Gentry Williams and Braylon Conely and safeties Khalil Barnes and Ja’Marley Riddle from the transfer portal along with six defensive back signees in its 2026 class.
Outhouse would play at Georgia for defensive backs coach Donte Williams.
“The relationship between me and Donte is something special,” he told 247Sports. “Everyone sees how many guys they’ve put in the draft. I feel like if I go there, it would be something special.”
