The Georgia Bulldogs are hosting five-star defensive line recruit Marcus Fakatou this weekend. Georgia is among several top schools contending for the talented class of 2027 defensive lineman.
The 6-foot-7, 275-pound defensive lineman plays high school football for Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, California. Fakatou is ranked as the No. 32 recruit in the country and the No. 3 player in California. The Sierra Canyon star is the second-best defensive lineman in the country, per the 247Sports Composite.

The five-star is a big priority for Georgia defensive line coach Tray Scott, who visited one of Fakatou’s practices in May. The Bulldogs are one of Fakatou’s top five schools along with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas and Oregon.
Fakatou has an incredible combination of size and athleticism. He ran a 4.73 time in the 40-yard dash recently and also plays tight end for his high school.
“What’s good Georgia?” Fakatou said ahead of his UGA visit. “See you Sunday.”
Fakatou is already an elite athlete
