The Georgia Bulldogs are expected to secure a commitment from a five-star linebacker recruit who has been a target for years.
This standout linebacker plays for his high school in Loganville, Georgia, and though he’s still a member of the 2026 recruiting class, he is already highly regarded. Ranked as the No. 9 player in his class, he is the top recruit in Georgia and the No. 1 linebacker for 2026.

While Georgia has only one commitment in the 2026 class so far, it’s from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the top-ranked quarterback in the cycle.
