The Georgia Bulldogs received a boost on the college football recruiting trail on Thursday. One of the top defenders in the 2026 recruiting class announced their commitment to the Dawgs.
Head coach Kirby Smart now has five commits for the 2026 class, including three four-star players, per 247Sports. Georgia just added a standout safety from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
The Dawgs beat out a number of other top college football programs to land the defender, including the Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes. Four-star safety Zech Fort made a strong statement after announcing his commitment to Georgia.
Fort is ESPN’s No. 39th ranked overall player in the 2026 recruiting class and No. 5 safety in the country. During a Thursday interview with On3.com’s Chad Simmons, Fort revealed that he had been leaning towards the Bulldogs for some time.
