Another Georgia football commit shuts down his recruitment
Another Georgia football commit shuts down his recruitment 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.

Georgia women take the team lead at the outdoor track and field championships
EUGENE, Ore. -- Stephanie Ratcliffe captured Georgia's first hammer throw title since 2010, and the Bulldogs took the team lead at the women's outdoor track and field championships Thursday. Ratcliffe, who also won the hammer title in 2023 while at Harvard, had a national-leading toss of 234 feet, two inches in the fourth round. Georgia leads the team standings with 26 points, followed by Illinois with 16.5 and Washington at 16. The Huskies got a boost when Hana Moll won the pole vault with a collegiate-record toss of 15-8 1/2. Moll, who also won the 2024 indoor title, broke the outdoor record held by her twin sister Amanda. Freshman Pamela Kosgei continued New Mexico's dominance in the 10,000 meters with a meet-record time of 31 minutes, 17.02 seconds. The Lobo men had a 1-2 finish on Wednesday. Mya Lesnar won the shot put with a first-round toss of 62-4 1/2 to become the first Colorado State athlete to win an outdoor event title since Loree Smith in 2005. Lesnar, the sixth Ram to win outdoor gold overall, also won the indoor shot put national title in 2024. Valentina Barrios Bornacelli secured Missouri's first individual javelin national title with a person-best throw of 203-5 to leap from fourth place to first on her final throw. Georgia freshman Manuela Rotundo finished second. Louisville's Synclair Savage took the long jump title on her final attempt with a school-record leap of 22-0.75 to move up from fourth. On the men's side, Mississippi State's Peyton Bair followed up his 2025 indoor heptathlon title with a commanding win in the decathlon, scoring a personal-best 8,323 points and winning both the 100- and 400-meter races outright. It was the 14th highest score in collegiate history.
