Georgia is one step closer to landing one of its top EDGE targets.

CJ Madden included the Bulldogs in his top five released on Thursday afternoon. Colorado, Oregon, Ole Miss, and Tennessee joined Georgia on Madden's list.

The Bulldogs have been considered the leaders for Madden for weeks. He visited Athens multiple times in June and also came to town last weekend for the team's cookout.

Madden decommitted from Colorado on June 21, just days after receiving an offer from Georgia. He has told UGASports that Georgia has been one of the schools recruiting him hardest since his decommittment.
