Top Cal QB Commitment Gets Scholarship Offer From Georgia
Cal’s top football recruiting commitment suddenly is attracting some big-time schools.
The latest program to offer four-star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is two-time reigning national champion Georgia.
Sagapolutele announced the news on Twitter, writing, “All glory to God. I have just been offered by the University of Georgia. Mahalo for believing in me.”
A 6-foot-2 left-hander from James Campbell High in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, Sagapolutele gave Cal a commitment on July 8, three weeks after visiting the campus.
Since then, unbeaten No. 1 Oregon has offered him a scholarship, and now the second-ranked Bulldogs have come courting. He also made an official visit to 17th-ranked Boise State in June.
Whether the Bears, losers of their past four games, can hold off multiple elite suitors remains to be seen.
Georgia already got a spring commitment to its class of 2025 from quarterback Ryan Montgomery, a consensus four-star prospect from Findlay, Ohio.
The Ducks got a commitment in late July from four-star quarterback Akili Smith Jr. of San Diego. Smith’s father starred for Oregon in the late 1990s, then was chosen No. 3 in the 1999 NFL draft.
According to the recruiting website , Sagapolutele has passed for ore than 2,200 yards with 38 touchdowns and just two interceptions through the first seven games this fall.
He impressed scouts at the at the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles last summer.

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
