Georgia’s 2024-2025 roster is officially set. The Bulldogs signed Savo Drezgic, a 6-3, 198-pound guard, on Friday. Drezgic reclassified to the class of 2024, completing Georgia’s roster.

Drezgic rounds out a recruiting class that includes multiple Top-100 players such as 5-star power forward Asa Newell and 4-star center Somto Cyril. In addition to 3-star-combo guard Jordyn Kee, head coach Mike White added five transfers to a roster that already features SEC All-Freshman team nominee Silas Demary Jr.

Drezgic played for DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Fla, last season. The Serbia-native averaged 13.4 points, 4.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds in his final high school season. Following a loss in the semifinals of DME’s league, Drezgic played in a pair of European events.

There, Georgia’s newest signee earned all-tournament honors. While representing Partizan Belgrade in the 2024 Adidas Next Generation Tournament, Drezgic averaged team highs of 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 steals.

A month later, Drezgic led Serbia to a Silver Medal showing at the Albert Schweitzer U18 World Tournament in Germany. He finished as Serbia’s second-leading scorer with 13.6 points per game and averaged 4.7 assists and 2.1 steals.

Drezgic also has experience in the KLS league, a top-tier men’s professional basketball league in Serbia. In his debut, Drezgic notched three points, two rebounds and an assist in his team’s 96-68 win.

Last fall, Drezgic also played in three ABA League games and two ABA League U19 matchups. Drezgic’s best outing in the U19 league came in a game against Mega SM, where he recorded 24 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists.

Drezgic is On3.com’s No. 31 prospect and No. 5 point guard in the class of 2025. Drezgic reclassified to the class of 2024 and will join the Bulldogs this upcoming season. After the signing by Drezgic and awarding Jaden Newell a scholarship last week, Georgia’s roster is now complete, as the Bulldogs have no scholarships remaining.
