The Georgia Bulldogs’ top cornerback, Daylen Everette, will be returning for the 2025 college football season. Everette is coming off a breakout junior season.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound cornerback recorded a team-high three interceptions in 2024. Everette was particularly effective against the Texas Longhorns. He recorded nine tackles, a forced fumble, a recovered fumble, a pass deflection, two interceptions and a sack in two games against the Longhorns.
Everette is Georgia’s top 2025 NFL draft prospect to announce his return to school. Everette is ranked as the No. 100 prospect in the draft, per Pro Football Focus.
Everette’s return gives Georgia a lockdown cornerback for the 2025 season. He’ll try to become a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
The former five-star recruit posted 58 tackles, three interceptions, three pass deflections and one sack in 2025. Everette’s decision is a bit of a surprise considering his NFL potential.
Everette announced his return to UGA via social media.
