Elite wide receiver commits to Georgia Bulldogs
Elite wide receiver commits to Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs have earned themselves another commitment. Four-star wide receiver Brady Marchese has announced his intention to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs, according to Hayes Fawcett.
Marchese is a four-star from the class of 2026, according to Rivals.com. The 6-foot-1, 183-pound wide receiver plays football at Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Georgia. He still has official meetings with Georgia (on June 6th), Georgia Tech, West Virginia, and Virginia Tech, but Marchese will end up being the sixth commit in Georgia's 2026 cycle.
Georgia has three offensive and three defensive commitments. On offense, Marchese joins Vance Stafford and Lincoln Keyes. Zech Fort, Jontavius Wyman, and Seven Cloud round out the defensive commitments. That makes Georgia the 17th-best recruiting class in the nation.
The Bulldogs have been in talks with several high recruits, too. Five stars such as Jordan Edmunds, Tyler Atkinson, and LaDamian Guyton visited Georgia's Junior Day, with Atkinson even predicted to sign with the Bulldogs. They are also one of the two teams in the running for five-star quarterback Jared Curtis.
Marchese is the 54th ranked prospect from the state of Georgia.

Alabama Going Up Against SEC Rival For 4-Star EDGE
Alabama Going Up Against SEC Rival For 4-Star EDGE originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Alabama Crimson Tide just had their first nine-win season since 1993 and are looking to return to competing for national titles. Advertisement Head coach Kalen DeBoer is aware that it would not be possible without consistent recruiting. On Wednesday, On3's Hayes Fawcett reported that four-star edge rusher Khamari Brooks was down to Alabama and the Georgia Bulldogs. The Crimson Tide had an official visit with Brooks on June 6. Before that, he took one with Georgia on May 30. The Bulldogs have the luxury of recruiting Brooks in their home state. He is a product of North Oconee High School in Bogart, Georgia. North Oconee's Khamari Brooks (5) takes the field with his teammates. Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Brooks is the No. 17 edge rusher and No. 13 player from Georgia in the 2026 class via the On3 Industry Rankings. Before his recent announcement, the Texas Longhorns, USC Trojans and Georgia Tech Yellowjackets were also in the running for Brooks. Advertisement Even though Brooks is picking Alabama or Georgia, the Bulldogs are still the favorite in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. It gives the Bulldogs a 52.6% chance to land him. The Crimson Tide are given a 25% chance. Alabama is still hot on the recruiting trail after being named a finalist for safety Jireh Edwards. DeBoer is not the head coach of the Washington Huskies anymore but used his West Coast connections to help land inside offensive lineman Samuelu Utu. The Crimson Tide have six commits from the 2026 class. DeBoer's class is highlighted by five-star corner Jorden Edmonds, four-star corner Zyan Gibson and four-star edge rusher Jamarion Matthews.

'Hasn't progressed': Laurie Daley's worrying admission about Blues player for Game 2
NSW coach Laurie Daley has provided a worrying update on Blues winger Brian To'o after admitting his recovery from a hamstring niggle has not progressed as much as medical staff had hoped. Bulldogs winger Jacob Kiraz was called into Blues camp on Wednesday as a potential replacement for To'o if the Panthers flyer is unable to recover in time for Game 2 in Perth, where NSW will hope to wrap up the series with another win. To'o has already had two hamstring strains this year and missed the start of the NRL season for Penrith. And while Daley insists the injury hasn't 'flared up' and he remains hopeful the winger will be right to face the Maroons in Game 2, the NSW coach did concede on Thursday morning that the Blues' medical team were concerned the hamstring niggle had not improved as quickly as they expected. "We thought earlier in the week Brian would be OK ... but it just hasn't progressed as far as what we need him to," Daley told Nine's Today Show. "We're still confident that he'll be OK, but we thought it'd be better off to have Jacob come here on standby if Brian doesn't get up. "With hamstrings, they're tricky things. You want to make sure they're 100 per cent right to go. You can get through training. But then, of course game night, you don't want to injure yourself and then put the team at risk. We're just going to have to weigh up all those factors towards the end of the week." Brian To'o is dealing with a hamstring niggle - is expected to play in Origin 2 but NSW have called Jacob Kiraz into camp as cover (via @Danny_Weidler)To'o has already suffered 2 hamstring strains this season - a call on his Origin fitness expected before Kiraz's Round 15 game. — NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) June 11, 2025 Fellow NSW winger Zac Lomax was more defiant about the prospects of To'o playing in Game 2, and backed the Blues' medical team to ensure he would be good to go in just under a week. "He's obviously a professional and he's going to get the job done," Lomax told Fox League on Wednesday night. "And we've got the best staff in the world here with us so I think he'll sit out tomorrow's training session just in regards to loads. "But on the flip side it gives someone like Jacob Kiraz a big boost to be able to come in and train with the squad. It's massive for him too, he's been playing unbelievable footy there at the Bulldogs. But for us we need to get 'Bizza' (To'o) right and I think that's him having the day off tomorrow and he'll be flying by Wednesday night." To'o scored one try and ran for a game-high 225 metres in a standout performance for the Blues in Game 1 at Suncorp Stadium. His tackle-busting ability and willingness to tough carries from the back has frequently helped the Blues get out of their own half and dominate field position against the Maroons and it would be a big blow if To'o was ruled out. Fortunately for NSW, Kiraz offers many of those same qualities and despite being less of a try-scoring weapon than To'o, he is more of an aerial threat and has an offloading game that could really hurt Queensland. Daley confirmed the Bulldogs star was training with the Blues squad for the first time on Thursday morning. Bulldogs teammate and Blues 18th man Matt Burton is another option to come into the NSW starting side if To'o is ruled out.

The No. 1 Linebacker Takes Major Career Decision This Week
The No. 1 Linebacker Takes Major Career Decision This Week originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tyler Atkinson, the No. 1 linebacker in On3's Industry Rankings for the Class of 2026, hasn't revealed his commitment yet, and coaches want to recruit him. Advertisement Kirby Smart and his staff will have their first true crack at selling 'Dawg Nation' in person this weekend. Atkinson announced that he will officially visit Athens. He feels a close connection with the program. 'It feels like I grew up at UGA because of all the camps and visits I've been to over the years since I was younger,' he said to Hayes Fawcett of On3. As a junior at Grayson High, Atkinson exploded for 166 tackles, 32 tackles-for-loss and 13 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception. Georgia Bulldogs head football coach Kirby Smart© Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Atkinson just made an official visit to Oregon, which was every bit as exceptional as he imagined it would be. Advertisement 'Oregon was everything I imagined it would be,' Atkinson told On3's Steve Wiltfong after the trip. 'It was just like the coaches had described. Coach Lanning and the entire staff showed me exactly how much they wanted me to be a part of their program and team … The way Oregon embraced and supported my personal brand, 'AtkNup', is next level. They definitely have a plan!' The Georgia Bulldogs lead On3's predictions with a 34.1% chance of landing him. Based on Atkinson's comments, it could very well become the program he joins. 'It's going to be good to get an OV there and talk to the coaches,' Atkinson said. 'I mean, just learn more and talk to them and go from there.' Advertisement 'It's just about me going there and just seeing it again and just being around the coaches and just seeing the energy and everything,' Atkinson said. 'Then, what's next is like whatever happens, happens.' This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.
