The Georgia Bulldogs continue their red-hot recruiting streak with yet another major addition to the 2026 class. Jordan Smith, a highly sought-after four-star safety, has officially committed to the Bulldogs, pushing Kirby Smart’s team further ahead in assembling what looks to be one of the nation’s most impressive recruiting classes.
Smith, rated the No. 95 overall prospect in the nation, is also ranked as the eighth-best safety and the 10th-best player in the state of Georgia, according to composite rankings. The standout defender chose Georgia over a star-studded list of schools that included Alabama, Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, Florida State, Stanford, Memphis, Georgia Tech, and Missouri.
His decision to commit to Georgia gives the Bulldogs their second safety in the 2026 class, joining Zech Fort. It also adds a key piece to a secondary unit that’s beginning to show signs of becoming a future powerhouse under Smart’s leadership.
Smith’s pledge comes at a time when Georgia is gaining serious momentum in recruiting. He’s the first player to commit since five-star quarterback Jared Curtis gave his verbal pledge earlier this month. With Curtis and Smith now both on board, the Bulldogs have landed back-to-back top-100 players—an indication of the elite-level talent Georgia continues to attract on both sides of the ball.
Georgia now boasts eight commitments in its 2026 class. Alongside Curtis and Smith are Vance Spafford (WR), Brady Marchese (WR), Lincoln Keys (TE), Seven Cloud (DL), Zech Fort (S), and Kealan Jones (S). This mix of offensive firepower and defensive talent shows a balanced and strategic recruiting approach by Smart and his staff.
Smith has an official visit scheduled to Georgia at the end of the month, signaling his continued interest and commitment to the program. That visit will provide another opportunity for him to deepen his connection with the coaching staff and future teammates.
The momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down either. Five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell, who visited Athens this past weekend with Jared Curtis, is expected to announce his decision soon. The Bulldogs are believed to be in a strong position to land him, which would further boost their 2026 class rankings.
Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has developed a reputation for catching fire on the recruiting trail during the summer months—and 2025 is shaping up to be no different. With national attention on Athens, Georgia is making a strong case to dominate not just this recruiting cycle, but college football for years to come.
Stay tuned as the Bulldogs continue to light up the trail with more elite prospects likely to follow.
