This Sentell’s Intel rep on Georgia football recruiting has the latest with 3-star OT prospect Jarmaine Mitchell from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi. He ranks as the nation’s No. 1 OT among the junior college ranks and the No. 8 overall JUCO prospect for 2026 on the 247Sports Composite.
The offensive line room for Georgia football just got a little older and even bigger for the 2026 season. That’s after 6-foot-8 junior college OT Jarmain Mitchell just shared word on his social media accounts that he’s now a Dawg.
Mitchell, a 3-star OT from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi, just flipped his commitment from Mississippi State. The 315-pounder from Louisiana was just in Athens earlier this month for the Ole Miss game on his official visit.
DawgNation had heard it went well. That’s not just by analyzing the big grins and easy smiles he had on Dooley Field that day. Mitchell was out on the field early with Georgia’s top targets and core commits and already seemed to click.
When Roquan Smith was calling the Dawgs during the pregame ceremonies, he was flashing the biggest of smiles.
What seemed inevitable a few weeks ago is now a reality. Mitchell now becomes the 30th commitment of Georgia’s 2026 class. He was the No. 2 remaining target for the 2026 class on DawgNation’s weekly “Before the Hedges” recruiting program.
Jarmaine Mitchell: What this means for Georgia football
Georgia line coach Stacy Searels and head coach Kirby Smart believe in big guys. They believe in bigger people moving the opponent’s big guys. There are currently eight offensive linemen on the 2025 Georgia football roster with a height listed at 6 feet, 7 inches or taller.
The commitment from Mitchell today underscores how the Dawgs continue to stock the program’s shelves in the offensive line room. He’s also the second commitment in this cycle that projects to play the offensive tackle position. He joins 5-star senior Ekene Ogboko as the only true prototype tackles in this class.
The Bulldogs do have three other offensive line commits in this class in 4-star IOL Graham Houston at Buford, 3-star Zykie Helton out of Carrollton and 3-star IOL Zach Lewis at North Gwinnett.
Mitchell has picked up the nickname “Big Baby” for his size and acumen on the field. He’s big, and the first play of his 2025 season tape shows him lined up at left tackle and getting out on the move in the screen game.
That seems like something that Georgia didn’t mind seeing early on in its evaluations, given the program’s affinity for the screen game these days, attacking overloaded boxes on early run downs.
