The Class of 2026’s Top rankings.
Georgia had a significant impact on the rankings, both in terms of Peach State prospects and targets/commits. Georgia’s lone 2026 commit was among the top 10 nationally ranked players.
This article examines the rankings of Georgia’s top targets and commits in the Top247 launch for the incoming junior class.
Remember that in the upcoming months, Georgia’s list of targets will increase significantly. Several players who aren’t considered major Georgia targets yet were left out of this piece, particularly those on the defensive and offensive lines. We all know that during this time of year, when coaches travel to conduct assessments, things may change quickly.
