Georgia flips yet another recruit from USC

After flipping five-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson a month ago, the Georgia Bulldogs have flipped another one of USC’s best recruits

After flipping five-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson a month ago and being projected to flip five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry, the Georgia Bulldogs have yet again pried away a top recruit from Southern California. Dominick Kelly, a four-star cornerback in the class of 2026, committed to Georgia on Monday, giving the Dawgs their second defensive commitment in the past three days for that cycle and adding to Kirby Smart’s list of recruiting victories over Lincoln Riley.

Kelly is listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, and plays at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Kelly is the nation’s 15th ranked cornerback and 34th overall player in the state of Florida according to 247Sports.

Former USC defensive backs coach Donte Williams primarily recruited Kelly. With Kelly’s commitment, Georgia now has three total commits in the class of 2026, with Kelly joining five-star quarterback Jared Curtis and three-star cornerback Jontavius Wyman. The Bulldogs’ 2026 class is currently rated fifth in the country, but it is very early on in the process.
