Georgia is rapidly ascending the college football recruiting ranks, with multiple experts projecting the Bulldogs to secure commitments from several elite prospects in the 2025 and 2026 classes. Under head coach Kirby Smart, Georgia’s recruiting momentum has intensified, particularly following a significant official visit weekend that hosted 18 high-profile recruits.
According to On3’s Chad Simmons, Georgia is trending positively for four standout players:
Kaiden Prothro: A five-star tight end, Prothro is now considered a strong Georgia lean after his recent visit to Athens.
Khamari Brooks: This four-star edge rusher has visited Georgia over 15 times, and the Bulldogs have reportedly gained an edge over Alabama in his recruitment.
Craig Dandridge: A four-star wide receiver, Dandridge is viewed as favoring Georgia, with Georgia Tech being the primary competition.
Desmond Green: A three-star offensive lineman from South Carolina, Green’s official visit to Georgia has significantly improved the Bulldogs’ standing in his recruitment.
Georgia’s recent commitment from four-star cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick, the younger brother of NFL star Minkah Fitzpatrick, further bolsters their defensive backfield. Justice, ranked as the No. 3 cornerback in the 2026 class, chose Georgia over other top programs including Florida, Texas, Miami, and Ohio State.
The Bulldogs have also secured commitments from top in-state talents such as five-star defensive lineman Elijah Griffin, who was rated as the nation’s No. 1 defensive lineman, and five-star tight end Elyiss Williams.
With a focus on both in-state and national recruiting, Georgia is positioning itself for continued success on the field. The combination of elite talent acquisition and strategic recruiting efforts suggests that the Bulldogs are building a roster capable of sustaining their status as a national powerhouse.
