Not only was last weekend's game against Alabama a huge opportunity for Georgia football on the field, but it was big chance for UGA to make some progress on the recruiting trail. In fact, this past weekend had one of the most impressive list of visitors in the history of Georgia football.
Elite prospects from all over the country flocked to Athens to watch Georgia and Alabama do battle, but there were two recruits in particular who stood out from everyone else. Five-star EDGE DJ Jacobs and five-star quarterback Jayden Wade headlined the recruits in town, and their presence alone is what caused Georgia to accomplish a rare recruiting feat Saturday night.
After the @247Sports update, it can now be said that Georgia hosted the No. 1 overall recruit in the ‘27 class + the No. 1 overall recruit in the ‘28 class.

Georgia accomplishes historic recruiting feat Saturday night
Jacobs and Wade are about as good as it gets when it comes to high school recruits. Actually, it is impossible to get any better than them because they are both ranked No. 1 in their respective recruiting classes.
Jacobs is a member of the 2027 recruiting class and was just recently moved up to the top spot in the country. Wade on the other hand has had a firm grasp on the No. 1 ranking in the 2028 recruiting class for quite some time now, and he doesn't look like he'll be giving up that title anytime soon.
It's impossible to track if this feat has ever occurred before, but one has to assume it is extremely rare to host two top ranked prospects at the same time. But Georgia is one of the best programs in the country, so maybe it shouldn't be all that surprising that they were able to pull this off.
The hope now is that Georgia will be able to win both of these recruitments. Neither player are expected to commit anytime soon, but the Bulldogs do sit in a good spot with both players right now.
So be sure to keep tabs on both recruits, because Saturday will be remembered as a historic night if Georgia is able to earn commitments from both players.
