Georgia, after adding commitments on each of the past three days, is up to No. 4 in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. The Bulldogs jumped LSU and Ohio State after adding four-star running back Jae Lamar out of Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Ga.

USC remains in the top spot with 30 commitments. Texas is No. 2 and Notre Dame is No. 3. Both teams have 21 commitments.

The Bulldogs now have 21 commitments in the 2026 class and that includes both a kicker and a punter. Lamar is the first running back to give his pledge to Georgia. Lamar is the first running back to give his pledge to Georgia in this class.

At 5-foot-11 205 pounds, Lamar is the nation’s No. 122 overall prospect per the On3 Industry Rankings, a weighted average that includes all four websites that publish recruiting rankings. He’s the No. 9 running back and the No. 14 player in the Peach State.

Each of the commitments Georgia has gained this week are from inside the state. North Oconee (Bogart, Ga.) EDGE Khamari Brooks got the ball rolling on Monday when he picked the Dawgs over Alabama. Kirby Smart and company beat out another hated rival on Tuesday when Valdosta (Valdosta, Ga.) defensive lineman Corey Howard chose UGA over Florida.

Lamar picked Georgia over the likes of Auburn, Clemson, Florida State and Miami. It was the Tigers from South Carolina and the Hurricanes, however, that made the hardest push in the end. Ultimately the south Georgia standout chose to play ball for the team he grew up loving.

“I grew up a big Georgia Bulldog fan,” Lamar told DawgsHQ on Jan. 16. “I always wanted to play and be there as a running back growing up. My rec and pop Warner ball team was the Georgia Dogs. We looked just like the Georgia Bulldogs. I told my mom one day, that I would be in a Georgia Bulldog uniform. That stood out to me growing up. My whole family is Georgia Bulldog fans.”
