Georgia football offers 5-star Houston QB commit

Georgia football offers Navy All-American Bowl MVP, Houston Cougars commit

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to five-star quarterback recruit Keisean Henderson. Henderson has been committed to the Houston Cougars since May 2024.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound quarterback prospect plays football for Legacy the School of Sport Sciences in Spring, Texas. Henderson is a dual-threat quarterback capable of playing defensive back or wide receiver.

The Houston commit was named as the MVP of the Navy All-American Bowl and drew national attention for his standout performance. Henderson is ranked as the No. 1 athlete in the class of 2026, per 247Sports. The elite quarterback is the No. 15 recruit in the nation and the No. 1 prospect in Texas.

Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is a key recruiter for Henderson, who completed a 91-yard touchdown pass in the Navy All-American Bowl.

UGA has four commitments in the class of 2026 and the 14th-ranked recruiting class in the country. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have no quarterback commitments in the class of 2026. There’s still a long way to go in the 2026 cycle, but Georgia has heavily pursued five-star quarterback recruit Jared Curtis.

Tar Heels offer Class of 2026 five-star quarterback despite prior commitment

North Carolina has set their sights on a five-star Class of 2026 quarterback.

The new UNC football head coach has made no mistake of missing out on the recruiting trail. The Tar Heels are putting together a team of all-star coaches, recruiters, and tactics to lure in potential recruits to Chapel Hill.

The most recent of those stars to receive an offer from Belichick is Spring, Texas, five-star quarterback Keisean Henderson. According to his X (formerly Twitter), the Class of 2026 QB was offered from the Tar Heels.

Interestingly enough, he added a tag in the tweet to one of the newest hires for Bill Belichick, Armond Hawkins, who prized himself as a recruiter.

Henderson is listed on 247Sports as an “athlete” with the opportunity and ability to play quarterback, wide receiver, and cornerback at the next level. However, according to his X, he only has a desire to play quarterback.

Henderson committed to the University of Houston in January after receiving dozens of offers, but it wouldn’t be the first time that we have seen stars commit, uncommit, and flip before. In fact, the Tar Heels just flipped an SMU commit. Could this be one of those instances?

According to 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks had this to say after viewing Henderson in-game.

Tall, wiry, athletic multi-positional athlete who could play high-major football at quarterback, receiver, or in the secondary. Displays encouraging redirecting quickness in pads for a longer-levered build. Raw but talented as a passer. Flashes impressive short-to-intermediate velocity and requisite downfield arm strength that should only improve given strength capacity within frame. Physical and athletic traits make for a particularly unique, high-upside prospect if QB is his long-term home.

UNC was for sure late to the ball game on the already committed five-star quarterback. However, when you have Bill Belichick as your coach anyone is still able to be flipped to Carolina Blue.
