ATHENS - The 2023 UGA football season is over, and now, all eyes turn towards recruiting.
After signing the nation’s top-ranked 2024 recruiting class, Kirby Smart and his staff will be traveling across the country this month to check in on some top targets in the 2025 class and beyond.
They’ll also be able to host top targets on campus, and they’ll have some big-time visitors swinging by Athens next weekend.
One of them, four-star Alvin Henderson, is the top-ranked running back in Alabama for the 2025 class. Ranked as the No. 97 overall prospect in the country and the No. 6 RB prospect, this speedy 5-foot-10 200-pounder out of Elba (AL) is coming off a tremendous junior season where he rushed for an eye-opening 3,523 yards and 61 touchdowns.
Yes, you read that correctly. Henderson averaged over 250 yards per game last season and just under 16 yards per carry. He rushed for over 300 yards four times including each of his final three games of the season. He also rushed for at least 165 yards and three touchdowns in every single game during the season. He’s explosive, shows breakaway speed, can make defenders miss, and breaks a lot of tackles. He checks all the boxes, and sources say he’s extremely high on Georgia.

“Coach McGee is a great RB coach because he’s coached a lot of greats and he knows the game well! He’s a great recruiter because I know that’s he’s coached some top RBs. When I sit and talk with him I’m seeing that he can produce me just like he did all the other running backs in his room now and the ones he’s coached!
Henderson was in Athens back in the fall to watch Georgia take down South Carolina in mid-September.
“I was able to talk with the coaches during my visit and the main message from them was that I was a main priority for them in the 25 class and they love everything about me from the classroom, what I do on the field,, and being an outstanding athlete.
Other 2025 running backs to know about are 4-star Ousmane Kromah, 4-star Donovan Johnson, 4-star Akylin Dear, among others.
