Georgia Bulldogs Land Hall of Famer’s Son, London Seymour, in Late 2025 Roster Addition
In a significant late development for the 2025 recruiting cycle, the Georgia Bulldogs have secured a commitment from highly touted defensive lineman London Seymour. The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Richard Seymour, London brings both elite pedigree and raw talent to a Georgia program already brimming with defensive stars. His addition further solidifies Georgia’s status as one of the premier destinations for top defensive talent in college football.
At 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 280 pounds, Seymour has the size, strength, and athleticism to make an immediate impact on the defensive line. He is known for his explosive first step, relentless motor, and football IQ — traits undoubtedly influenced by growing up around the game with a Hall of Fame father. While he’s still developing technically, his upside is undeniable. Coaches and scouts rave about his versatility, with the ability to play across multiple spots on the defensive front, whether as a traditional defensive end in a 3-4 scheme or sliding inside in nickel packages.
Georgia’s late addition of Seymour comes as a welcome surprise, especially considering how competitive the recruitment for top-tier linemen can be. Reports indicate that several powerhouse programs, including Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State, were still actively pursuing Seymour before he made his final decision. Ultimately, the family’s strong ties to the Southeast and Georgia’s consistent success under head coach Kirby Smart played pivotal roles in sealing the deal.
Seymour’s commitment also adds another layer of legacy and tradition to Georgia’s locker room. Richard Seymour, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and a dominant force during his time at the University of Georgia, will undoubtedly be a source of inspiration and guidance for his son. Now, London will have the opportunity to build his own legacy in Athens while following in the footsteps of his legendary father.
For Georgia, this move is more than just a feel-good story; it’s a strategic win. With a few recent transfers and early NFL declarations creating gaps on the defensive line, Seymour’s arrival fills a key need. It also sends a strong message to the rest of college football — Georgia remains aggressive, adaptable, and always looking to improve, even late in the recruiting process.
As the Bulldogs prepare for another run at the College Football Playoff in the coming seasons, the addition of Seymour only strengthens their foundation. Fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how quickly he adjusts to the college game and what kind of impact he can make as a freshman.
One thing is clear: the Georgia Bulldogs just got better, and the 2025 class just became a lot more formidable with London Seymour in the mix.
