    Georgia football locks in 3-star WR commit with Ladd McConkey speed

    The Georgia Bulldogs have landed another wide receiver recruit from the class of 2025 in three-star prospect Landon Roldan.

    Roldan made things official on Thursday, choosing Georgia over Georgia Tech, and announced his commitment via X/Twitter.

    Roldan, 6 feet and 180 pounds, is a rising senior at North Oconee High School in Bogart, Georgia. Last season, Roldan hauled in 50 catches for 1,029 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also added another 79 yards and three scores on the ground. He was named Region 8-AAAA Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

    Roldan initially caught Georgia's attention back in May when visited Athens and ran an impressive time of 4.37 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

    He was invited back for another workout in June and received an offer from position coach James Coley.

    The decision to pick the Bulldogs over the Yellow Jackets was ultimately an easy one.

    "It's a place that’s going to help you develop, not only if I were to go to the NFL but also for a career after," Roldan said, via UGA Rivals . "I have a good opportunity to play there, just keep the confidence and keep playing hard."

    With the shifty speed that Roldan brings to the table, he likes to compare himself to former Bulldog wideout Ladd McConkey, though he's a receiver who is better positioned out wide rather than in the slot.

    Roldan is the 17th player to commit in Georgia’s 2025 recruiting class and the fourth receiver, joining four-star prospects Talyn Taylor, Travis Blackshear, Tyler J. Williams.
