On Wednesday, 247Sports released its initial version of the Top247 rankings for the Class of 2026.
Georgia had a major influence on the rankings, whether that be commits/targets or prospects from the Peach State. That included Georgia’s only 2026 commit firmly in the top 10 of the national rankings.
In this article, we take a look at where Georgia’s top commits and targets ranked in the Top247 launch for the rising junior class.
Keep in mind: Georgia’s targets list will grow substantially in the coming months. There are several players — especially along the offensive line and defensive line — who weren’t included in this article because they’re not viewed yet as significant Georgia targets. As we know, that can quickly change this time of year as coaches get out on the road to do evaluations.
Let’s take a look at the initial rankings and Georgia’s role in that.
