The Wolverines were finalists for both five-star OT Felix Ojo and four-star OL John Turntine. Ojo shocked the world by committing to Texas Tech, and Turntine did what most people thought he was going to do: stay home and play for Texas.

The Bulldogs and Longhorns met twice in 2024, including in the SEC championship game. Georgia won both meetings and hosts Texas on Nov. 15 in a game that could decide who advances to this year's SEC title game. Of course, Calicut will not be playing in that one.
