Haywood’s Caden Harris (1) speaks with The Jackson Sun following HaywoodÕs 50-29 victory over Crockett County after the TSSAA Football match between Haywood vs Crockett County in Alamo, Tenn., on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024.

Harris committed to Vanderbilt in April but took an official visit to Georgia on June 6 and had four others scheduled with Southeastern Conference teams.
“I felt real strong about Georgia coming in,” Harris told DawgNation. “We’d be in contact for a while, and they had just been hard on me ever since. We had the OV planned. I knew for sure I had to come down and take it. I was coming into it strong, and I left out of it even stronger.”
Harris’ commitment is the fifth this month for Georgia, which stands at No. 4 in the 247Sports class rankings. The Bulldogs trail Southern California, Ohio State and Notre Dame, still early in the 2026 recruitment cycle.
Georgia’s class includes one five-star prospect, quarterback Jared Curtis from Nashville (Tenn.) Christian School. He is ranked by the composite as the No. 1 QB and No. 4 overall player in the class.
