Smael Mondon Jr. Announces 2025 NFL Draft Decision

Another Georgia Bulldog has announced their NFL Draft decision following the 2024 college football season.

After suffering a loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the Georgia Bulldogs 2024 season has come to a close. With the season concluded, players and coaches have begun turning their attention to the 2025 season and are making decisions for their future. 

One of the players who has made a decision is linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., who has announced that they will be continuing their football career at the professional level and declare for the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Mondon was a member of the Bulldogs’ 2021 recruiting class and was a massive defensive piece during Georgia’s 2022 national championship season. The linebacker routinely played through injuries and even elected to return for last season in 2024. The linebacker’s dedication and loyalty to his team is somewhat of an overlooked skillset he possesses but it will have an immediate impact on whichever team selects him in the 2025 NFL Draft.

While seeing players depart from the Red and Black is always disappointing for Georgia fans. This player will almost certainly have the unwavering support of Dawgnation as they continue their football career.
