You know the drill with Georgia and its efforts on the recruiting trail. Kirby Smart and his staff continue to haul in elite classes and the 2026 cycle was no different.
At the beginning of December, the Bulldogs locked up almost all of its No. 5 class — per the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Quickly looking ahead to the 2027 class, UGA is already making some headway there, too.

To date, Georgia has five commits in its 2027 class and it checks in at No. 5 nationally. It’s perhaps too early to think about rankings, but you know that the SEC juggernaut will be near the top when National Signing Day rolls around.
On Feb. 2, the Bulldogs made a major splash by landing a pledge from McKeesport (Pa.) five-star running back Kemon Spell, the No. 3 overall prospect and top-ranked RB. The one-time Penn State commit was originally planning to extend his process through official visits, but UGA continued to make noise and pounced ahead of the spring.
Headlining alongside Spell is Long Beach Poly (Calif.) four-star cornerback Donte Wright. He wasted no time and picked UGA last summer on June 30. He’s the No. 41 overall prospect and will make a push for five-star status.
“Georgia as a program develops at a very high level, and I think that’s what really attracts me to this program,” Wright told DawgsHQ. “Growing up, I’ve always been a Georgia fan, so now that they are recruiting me heavily, it’s very exciting.”

On Sept. 27, Atlanta Langston Hughes four-star offensive tackle Kelsey Adams committed while on campus. Adams is a top-10 tackle and top-10 in-state recruit.
Two more playmakers entered the class later in the fall. Montezuma (Ga.) Macon County three-star running back Noah Parker and Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek three-star wide receiver Aden Starling currently round out the class.
“It’s like a dream coming true,” Parker told Rivals. “I’ve always been a big fan of Georgia. To get the opportunity, it felt different. I knew when I got the offer that I was going to Georgia — there was never another thought.”
Below is the updated Georgia 2027 recruiting class heading into this spring:
