Three-star defensive line prospect Stephon Shivers has decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs. After reopening his recruitment, Shivers is now expected to commit to the Vanderbilt Commodores, according to 247Sports.

A member of the 2025 recruiting class, Shivers originally pledged to Georgia in March 2024. He plays high school football at Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee, which is located near Vanderbilt.
