“Savo Drezgic, a consensus four-star prospect in the Class of 2025, will reclassify to the Class of 2024 and has signed a letter of intent to join the Georgia Bulldogs this fall, head coach Mike Whiteannounced on Friday.

Drezgic, is a 6-3, 198-pound guard originally from Belgrade, Serbia, who played for DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Fla,, during the 2023-24 high school season. Among Class of 2025 prospects, he is currently ranked No. 31 by On3.com, No. 63 by 247Sports.com and No. 106 by rivals.com. Among point guards, Drezgic is listed No. 5 by On3.com, No. 10 by 247Sports.com and No. 20 by rivals.com.

Most recently, Drezgic earned all-tournament honors at a pair of prestigious European events this spring.

In April, Drezgic led Serbia to a Silver Medal showing at the Albert Schweitzer U18 World Tournament in Manheim, Germay. He was Serbia's second-leading scorer at 13.6 points per game and paced his team with averages of 4.7 assists and 2.1 steals in seven contests.

In March, Drezgic represented Partizan Belgrade in the 2024 Adidas Next Generation Tournament. He averaged team highs of 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals over four outings, leading Partizan to a 3-1 record and third place in the eight-team qualifying event contested in Belgrade.

At DME, Drezgic averaged 13.4 points, 4.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds. DME finished the season with a 25-11 record, falling to Dream City Christian in the semifinals of the Grind Session Championship. Drezgic also was named to the all-tournament team at the Grind City Championship.

Drezgic's top performance featured 24 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists in a U19 outing against Mega SM. He also made his debut in Serbia's KLS league in May, with three points, two rebounds and an assist in Partizan's 96-68 win over Mega BG.

Drezgic also was a standout for the Serbian National Team at the 2022 U16 European Championship, averaging a team-high 13.6 points as well as 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

Georgia's incoming class now features nine newcomers – four high school prospects and five transfers. The Bulldogs' recruiting class has been ranked among the nation's best.

Dasher UGA Sports: Georgia lands Serbian-born, Rivals150 point guard Savo Drezgic

“The sharp-shooting point guard made an official visit to Georgia in May and spoke to Rivals on the way to the recent Adidas 3SSB stop in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I liked it,” Drezgic, who played professionally in Serbia before landing in the United States just this year. “I really liked it a lot. They just showed me around and we talked and all of that.”

One of the top international prospects in his class, Drezgic has been in the United States for a year and plays for Florida’s DME Academy.

Per Rivals’ Rob Cassidy, Drezgic, “Is a true point guard that is known for his facilitation skills as well his long-range shooting.”

He’s also considered a gifted passer capable of creating his own shot. He is the No. 106 player in the nation.

Drezgic becomes the ninth newcomer to join the Bulldogs since the end of the season.”

Cassidy Rivals.com: Commitment alert: Georgia lands Serbian PG Savo Drezgic

“Drezgic has been in the United States for less than a year and spent the last few months splitting time between American grassroots ball and playing for the Serbian National Team in his native country. What’s been clear about his game during his time in the States, however, is his advanced floor vision and impressive passing ability, two traits that may allow him to see early playing time in the SEC. Drezgic still has some adjustments to make when it comes to physicality and becoming a more consistent shooter, but his motor and facilitation skills should excite Bulldog fans. When Drezgic is going well, he can fill it up from behind the arc. He’s proven that much, but calling him a streaky shooter seems fair at this juncture. The muscular, 6-foot-3 point guard has impressive positional size that will serve him well in the American college game, especially when it comes to getting to his spots and absorbing contact. Defensively, his size and impressive motor give him intriguing upside, which will serve him well as a multi-year college player.”
