Georgia lands first defensive commit of 2026 class

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart added a four-star in-state cornerback to their recruiting class

After landing their first commit for the 2026 class in March with five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the Georgia Bulldogs have now added an in-state defensive back from Jonesboro, Georgia. Jontavius Wyman announced his commitment to the Bulldogs on Saturday morning, choosing UGA over Clemson, Oregon, and Florida.

Wyman is a four-star defensive back who is listed at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds. He is the 12th ranked cornerback in the country and 19th overall player in Georgia. He has played mostly at the corner position, but has also seen some playing time at safety while also playing on the offensive side of the ball at wide receiver and quarterback.

Playing at Jonesboro High School, Wyman racked up 37 tackles, 12 pass breakups, and five interceptions a season ago while also catching 37 passes for 602 yards and seven touchdowns. Wyman also participates in track and field.

Wyman is the second addition to what looks to be a promising class of 2026 for the Bulldogs. Georgia currently holds the third-ranked class in the 2025 recruiting cycle, trailing only Alabama and Ohio State respectively.
