Kirby Smart and Georgia are becoming unstoppable. In just eight days, the Bulldogs have pulled off four key commitments. Among them are the nation’s No. 1 punter, Wade Register and 4-star OL Zykie Helton who joined the squad on Wednesday. Three of those eight players even locked Athens in by officially shutting down their recruitment. All of them are 4-star prospects—CB Justice Fitzpatrick , S Jordan Smith , and WR Brady Marchese . And while Smart’s been stacking commitments, he’s also quietly working on a possible SEC heist.
We're talking about a move that could flip the script on the Vanderbilt Commodores in Kirby Smart's favor. Just over a month ago, the school landed the commitment of 4-star CB Caden Harris out of Haywood, Tennessee.
On June 13, On3 Recruits posted a recruiting update on X regarding the status of the nation's top 100 player. “ On3’s @ChadSimmons_ has made an expert prediction that Georgia will flip Vanderbilt’s 4-star CB commit Caden Harris. And maybe it's his official visit to Athens that's making the difference for him.
Despite committing to Vanderbilt on April 29, Caden Harris is still giving Kirby Smart serious consideration. Georgia has been on him since the beginning of the 2026 cycle.
DB coach Donte Williams maintained the connection, and that relationship paid off this past weekend when Harris took his OV to Athens." The biggest takeaway was speaking with the staff and discussing our development. He said of his OV. Sitting in meetings and discussing everything showed me a lot. UGA speaks for itself. Everyone knows why it’s a top program. Coach Smart has showcased that a lot and the people he has around him make the place even better. ”

Ranked as the No. 12 cornerback and No. 83 overall in the 2026 class, Caden Harris is an elite, three-phase weapon. So it’s no wonder that he’s looking for a developmental program. Last season, he had 37 catches for 782 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense. On defense, he racked up 30 tackles, a pick-six, and seven pass breakups. Well, the flip hasn’t happened yet. But of all the top-tier talent Georgia’s chasing, he feels the closest to jumping on board next. If he does, that’s a huge win for Kirby Smart, especially given the momentum Georgia’s already riding. But they’re not even done.
