Four-star class of 2027 quarterback recruit Peter Bourque has drawn interest from several elite college football programs across the country following his decommitment from the Michigan Wolverines.

The Georgia Bulldogs currently remain in the mix for the talented quarterback, as Bourque would be a massive addition to the Dawgs’ 2027 recruiting class. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia currently lack a commitment from a quarterback in the class of 2027. However, Georgia does have a commitment from five-star class of 2028 quarterback Jayden Wade, who could be Georgia's future at the position.

At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Bourque was excellent throughout his sophomore campaign at Tabor Academy (Marion, Massachusetts) despite appearing in just two games, as the signal caller recorded 276 yards and a touchdown last season. On3 recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong recently took a moment to share an update on Bourque’s recruitment, as Wiltfong believes Georgia could be the top team on the talented quarterback’s radar.

“I think Georgia’s the program that’s really picking up the most momentum in the recruitment of Peter Bourque.” Wiltfong stated. “Penn State and Virginia Tech are also heavily in the mix, but he has a chance to get back on the Athens campus and Georgia was a finalist the first time around. A lot of the reasons why he picked Michigan, I think you look at Georgia and see them checking a lot of boxes. A tradition-rich, championship level program that’s going to compete consistently year-in and year-out in front of a passionate fan base.”

Bourque is ranked as the No. 6 quarterback and the No. 76 player from the class of 2027, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He is ranked as the No. 1 overall player from Massachusetts. Bourque’s decision to decommit from Michigan on Feb. 17 came as a surprise to the college football world, as Georgia will now look to take full advantage of the situation and sign the talented signal caller as soon as possible.
