‘Come Be a Dawg’: Georgia Commit Zech Fort Turning Up the Heat on IMG Teammate and 5-Star WR Larry Moon
Bradenton, FL — In the sizzling heart of summer, Georgia Bulldogs 4-star linebacker commit Zech Fort is doing more than just preparing for his senior season at IMG Academy—he’s doubling as a recruiter. And his top target? None other than his IMG teammate and 5-star wide receiver phenom Larry Moon, one of the most electrifying playmakers in the Class of 2025.
Fort, a hard-hitting, vocal leader on IMG’s defense, has become the Bulldogs’ loudest voice on campus, sporting Georgia gear at every practice and spreading the “Dawg” gospel across the locker room. But his focus has zeroed in on one goal: getting Larry Moon to Athens.
“It’s bigger than football,” Fort told reporters at IMG’s 7-on-7 media day. “It’s about building a legacy. Larry and I could dominate in the SEC—one on defense, one on offense. I tell him every day, ‘Come be a Dawg. Let’s make history.’”
Moon, who has garnered offers from nearly every blue-blood program in the country—including Alabama, Ohio State, USC, and Texas—has kept his recruitment close to the vest. But insiders say Georgia is rising fast, thanks in no small part to Fort’s persistent pitch.
Their chemistry on and off the field is evident. The two have formed a bond at IMG, regularly seen working out together, breaking down film, and even hosting joint livestream Q&As with fans—many of which end with Zech smiling and repeating his now-signature phrase:
“Come be a Dawg, Larry. You know what it is.”
While Moon is expected to take official visits in the fall, sources close to the situation suggest Georgia is now firmly in his top three, with a potential commitment coming as early as October.
If Fort succeeds in reeling in Moon, it could be a program-shifting win for Kirby Smart and the Dawgs—further solidifying Georgia’s place as the dominant force in college football recruiting.
The battle for Larry Moon is heating up—and Georgia has a linebacker turned recruiter who won’t take no for an answer.
