The Georgia Bulldogs have secured a commitment from another five-star recruit. Elite tight end Kaiden Prothro has committed to Georgia, which continues Georgia’s hot streak on the recruiting trail.
Prothro said that he made up his mind after his official visits. He thanked God, his parents, his high school and community, and his coaches ahead of his commitment.
“I will be taking my talents to the University of Georgia,” said Prothro after he touched the hats of several of his top schools. Prothro committed to Georgia over Alabama, Florida, Auburn and Texas.
“Go Dawgs!” said Prothro after his commitment.
Prothro is ranked as a five-star recruit. He’s the No. 25 recruit in the nation and was a key in-state target for coach Kirby Smart and Georgia.
Georgia previously missed out on No. 1 tight end Mark Bowman, so Kaiden Prothro became an even bigger priority for the Bulldogs. Georgia already has a commitment from four-star tight end prospects Lincoln Keyes and Brayden Fogle. Prothro was projected to play for UGA, per Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong.
Prothro is a versatile player that, despite being listed as a tight end, could excel in various roles in college. Some teams envision him as a jumbo X receiver, while others see him as a flex tight end with the potential to develop into an in-line weapon. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound pass catcher has excellent length, but will be looking to add weight to play tight end in the SEC.
Prothro plays high school football for Bowdon High School in Bowdon, Georgia. He is the third-ranked tight end prospect in the class of 2026 and the third-ranked player in Georgia. Prothro and Bowdon have won three straight state championships in football. Prothro is Georgia’s 28th commitment in the class of 2026, which is ranked second in the nation.
