June has been a very promising month for the Goergia football program.
Thanks to a whopping 14 commitments, the Bulldogs now has the No. 2-ranked recruiting class and 24 total commitments overall. Four-star defensive lineman James Johnson is the most recent commitment, as he picked Georgia over Florida, Miami and Texas on Saturday. He is the No. 69 overall player in the class
Yet the work is not yet done for Georgia in the 2026 recruiting cycle and the Bulldogs could very well continue their recruiting hot streak going into the weekend. Georgia has several high-priority targets set to announce in the coming days and weeks.
Below is a full look at when several targets are set to announce and where Georgia sits in those respective recruitments.
It’s important to note that not every major Georgia recruiting target has set a commitment date. Among those who could theoretically commit at any time include linebacker Tyler Atkinison, running back Savion Hiter and defensive back Tyriq Green.
