The Georgia Bulldogs are getting closer to knowing who will sign with them in the class of 2026. Four-star safety Jordan Smith has announced he is shutting down his recruitment, according to Hayes Fawcett.
Although Smith had originally planned to take official visits with Florida State and Tennessee, this news suggests he will more than likely sign with the Bulldogs during or after the early signing period. Smith has already committed to Georgia.
Smith is a four-star safety from the class of 2026. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound defensive back plays football for Houston County High School in Warner Robins, Georgia.
He is the No. 56 prospect and No. 6 safety in the nation, according to 247Sports. Smith committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on May 11 and the seventh-best recruit in the Peach State.
The Georgia Bulldogs’ 2026 class is chock-full of elite secondary recruits. Four-star safety Zech Fort was the first to commit on Jan. 30. Then, three-star safety Kealan Jones committed on Apr. 12, the same day as G-Day.
After Smith committed on May 11, four-star cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick, who is the brother of All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, committed on June 3.
Smith is the third player in Georgia’s signing class to conclude his recruitment, joining Fitzpatrick and three-star wide receiver Brady Marchese, who have also shut down their recruitment. Of course, there’s nothing stopping these players from changing their minds later down the road. It is still a long way away from December’s early signing period.
After a slow start in the recruiting cycle, during which Georgia only had five commits by April, the Bulldogs have ramped up their recruiting efforts. According to 247Sports, Georgia now boasts the fifth-ranked recruiting class in the nation. UGA has the SEC’s best class of 2026.
