This time of the year is when college football reaches peak madness. The Transfer Portal was just in full swing, high school recruiting is beginning to ramp up and players are trying to decide where they want to play football next season.

But there is one player who is remaining loyal to Georgia even with all the madness going on around him, and that player is five-star quarterback Jayden Wade.

5-star QB Jayden Wade is all in on Georgia

Wade is the No. 1 overall player in the 2028 recruiting class who has been committed to Georgia for about two months. But with so much time left in his recruitment it is a very real possibilty that he could change his mind, decommit from Georgia and flip to a new school.

At this point though that doesn't seem like an option for Wade.

Evern since committing to Georgia Wade has remained 100 percent loyal to UGA. Being the No. 1 recruit in the country however means that most programs will do whatever it takes to win his recruitment, and in this case they will do what they have to do to flip him from Georgia. But as it stands today that is not even on Wade's mind as he is 100 percent locked in with Georgia.

So while recruiting and the Transfer Portal is as crazy as it has ever been, Wade is giving Georgia a sense of peace as he is giving them nothing to worry about. He is locked in with Georgia and has no plans of ever leaving the program, and that is something that doesn't happen too often nowadays.

Obviously things can change in his recruitment over the next two years, but right now he is a recruit that Georgia doesn't need to worry about at all.
