Georgia Bulldogs Lose Director of Recruiting Relations David Cooper

The Georgia Bulldogs have announced a significant change in their support staff with the departure of David Cooper, who served as the director of recruiting relations. Cooper has been with the Bulldogs since 2021, contributing to the program's success in securing top-tier recruiting classes. Although he is still listed in the UGAAA directory, multiple sources indicate that he has not been part of the program for some time. Cooper's tenure included the 2024 recruiting class, which achieved the distinction of being the nation's top-ranked class, featuring 29 players, 23 of whom were blue-chip prospects. Notable recruits from this class included cornerback Ellis Robinson, linebacker Justin Williams, and safety KJ Bolden. Before joining the Georgia Bulldogs, Cooper held positions at Louisville, Florida, and Texas A&M, where he honed his skills in recruiting. His efforts have helped the Bulldogs consistently finish with recruiting classes ranked in the top five nationally. The timing of Cooper's departure raises questions about the future direction of Georgia's recruiting strategy as they continue to build a championship-caliber program.
