Georgia football dominated the news cycle on Friday in college football once again, specifically with their latest commitment who decided to join UGA’s 2026 recruiting class. The news unfortunately wasn’t all good for Georgia on Friday, but a heartwarming interview from a recent commit made it that much better for Georgia fans.
But let’s once again begin with the latest commitment for Georgia, which was just as big as any of the others this past week.
4-star CB chooses Georgia over in-state powerhouse
Another day means another commit for Georgia. This time it came from four-star corner Chace Calicut, who chose the Bulldogs over Michigan and in-state school Texas.
Calicut gave Georgia there sixth commitment in as many days, which is potentially the best recruiting run UGA has ever been on. This commitment also moved Georgia up to No. 2 in the Rivals recruiting rankings where they now only trail USC for the top class in the country.
Legacy recruit chooses Tennessee over Georgia
Recruiting is nearly impossible to predict nowadays, but legacy recruitments may just be the easiest to predict of all. Typically recruits like to follow in the footsteps of their family and play at Georgia if they did as well, but that isn’t what happened on Friday.
Not only did three-star EDGE Kedric Golston II not follow his dad and play for Georgia, but he chose to commit to SEC rival Tennessee. That means Georgia likely will play Golston at some point in his career, which will be a great opportunity to remind him of the mistake he made.
4-star commit Jae Lamar is excited to be a Bulldog
Four-star running back Jae Lamar announced his commitment to Georgia earlier this week. This was one of the biggest recruiting wins of the 2026 cycle so far based solely on the fact of how talented he is. But there’s another reason why UGA fans should be excited that Lamar is heading to Georgia.
After committing to Georgia, Dawg Nation interviewed Lamar about his decision. During this interview, Lamar became very emotional because playing for UGA was always one of his biggest dreams. This moment will be remembered by Georgia fans forever and will likely be the reason Lamar will be a fan favorite while in Athens.
