4-star CB decommits from South Carolina ahead of UGA visit
Peyton Dyer, a four-star cornerback from Duluth, Georgia, is attracting significant recruiting attention as the No. 27 cornerback in the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He decommitted from the South Carolina Gamecocks this week after visiting with the Georgia Bulldogs in March.
Dyer has listed where he will be taking his official visits. The 6-foot, 190-pound prospect has official visits lined up for USC (June 6), Georgia (June 13), and South Carolina (June 20) this June.
Dyer has visited Georgia football multiple times this offseason and plans be in attendance for the G-Day spring game this Saturday along with many other priority recruits.
Dyer has become a recruit that Georgia is going after hard. Georgia only has two defensive commits in safety Zech Fort and JUCO defensive lineman Seven Cloud. Building up the defensive side of this recruiting class will be key for Georgia, who is expected to have departures after this upcoming season.

The Badgers already have a commitment from 3-star cornerback Carsen Eloms and are trending to earn a commitment from Texas native Zachary Taylor, but they are looking to add more. Advertisement One of the prospects the Badgers are eyeing is 3-star safety Jowell Combay, a safety out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia. According to Nick Osen, a Badgers beat writer for 247Sports, the 6'1" safety will be in Madison June 12-14 on an official visit with the Wisconsin football team. Recently, Combay released his final five teams and a commitment date of July 9th. The Badgers made the final cut along with four SEC teams: Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri. According to the 247Sports recruiting database, Combay is a 3-star prospect and holds offers from over 30 Division I teams, including offers from the previously mentioned top five, as well as teams like Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Florida, among many more.

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.

Badgers Trending for 3-Star DB Zachary Taylor

Badgers Trending for 3-Star DB Zachary Taylor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Wisconsin football team is looking to regain some momentum on the recruiting trail. They earned five commitments over their first official visit weekend, but have been searching for No. 6 for over a week. Advertisement Zachary Taylor, a defensive back out of Jordan High School in Fulshear, Texas, could be the next commitment for Luke Fickell and the Badgers. Evan Flood, a Badgers Insider for 247Sports, logged a Crystal Ball prediction for the Badgers to land the 3-star defensive back after his visit to Madison. Flood added a confidence level of '5' to his prediction, which is considered 'medium' confidence. On 247Sports, Taylor is listed as a cornerback, but he has also played some safety and is seen as a versatile player who could play cornerback or safety at the next level. Gabe Brooks, a scouting analyst for 247Sports, wrote the following scouting report on Taylor. Requisite size for varying secondary roles with elite combine testing data and track speed. Owns some impressive downfield coverage reps that highlight turn-and-run athleticism and ability to stay sticky in the vertical passing game. Experienced in all three phases with limited offensive and return game reps. Shows encouraging tackling, conviction, and production in that category. Knows how to crowd the catch window. Ideally would increase impact playmaking ability in regards to ball production on the stat sheet. Boasts significant snaps at corner and safety and could potentially serve as a chameleon in a college secondary. Projects to the high-major level and could possibly develop into a pro prospect. According to the 247Sports Composite, Taylor is a 3-star player and is the 38th-ranked cornerback and 494th-overall player in the 2026 class. Advertisement The versatile defensive back has over 20 offers from teams like Wisconsin, Houston, Texas Tech, TCU, Minnesota, and more. He is currently slated to visit Pitt (June 12) and Houston (June 19). A Crystal Ball prediction is by no means a lock for the Badgers to get Taylor, but Flood is very well-connected and generally has a good feel for what is going to happen. Adding Taylor would give the Badgers their second defensive back of the class, joining cornerback Carsen Eloms. His commitment would provide the Wisconsin football program its 12th commitment and also boost them from the No. 38 class to No. 33 in 247Sports' national team rankings.
