With the acquisition of five-star running back Kemon Spell, the Georgia Bulldogs have won the 2027 recruiting cycle.
Following in the footsteps of Georgia’s illustrious backs like Sony Michel and Nick Chubb, the McKeesport, Pennsylvania native selected the Bulldogs over Ohio State and Miami. Standing five feet ten inches tall and weighing 210 pounds, Spell is presently listed by 247Sports as the best running back in his class and the seventh-best player overall.
According to scouting reports, he is a versatile back who can dominate both inside and outside runs thanks to his quickness and leg force.
His dedication is a huge boost to a club that, after its 2025 Sugar Bowl appearance, is still rebuilding its offensive depth and vying for national championships.
With quarterback Gunner Stockton formally committing to another season with the Bulldogs, the positive vibe in Athens continues.
Pete Nakos on X claims that Gunner Stockton’s representatives at ESM informed On3 that he had signed a contract with Georgia for the 2026 campaign.
Because Stockton allegedly rejected much greater financial incentives to stay, this decision is more noteworthy.
“Gunner did agree to a deal with UGA for the 2026 season,” his agent Faryn Healy of ESM informed On3. He is a player who would never think of transferring, thus he didn’t think an announcement was required. Gunner bleeds crimson and black, yet he could have made two or three times as much by going through the portal.
There is some movement in the trenches on the roster, even though the Bulldogs are keeping their best quarterback.
After three seasons at Georgia, offensive lineman Jamal Meriweather committed to Miami through the transfer portal.
Meriweather will join a Hurricanes club that needs assistance at both guard and tackle. Meriweather, a redshirt sophomore, showed potential in few snaps last season by giving up just one pressure.
The key to Georgia’s hopes of winning a title in 2026 is the return of an experienced leader like Stockton, who placed eighth in the Heisman voting and scored 34 total touchdowns the previous season.
