Georgia Football Lands Surprise 4-Star OL Commitment That Could Shake Up Recruiting Landscape

It’s always exciting when a program lands a player who checks all the boxes, and the Georgia Bulldogs just did exactly that by securing a commitment from offensive lineman Graham Houston of Buford High School’s class of 2026. Standing tall at 6-foot-5 and tipping the scales at 305 pounds, Houston is a versatile interior lineman who can slide over to guard or tackle, making him a valuable asset for Georgia’s up-and-coming roster. Ranked as a four-star recruit and rated among the top prospects in the state and nationally at his position, Houston had plenty of suitors—Florida State, Florida, and Ole Miss among them—but ultimately chose to join Kirby Smart’s program. This marks Georgia’s first offensive line pledge in the 2026 cycle and adds another layer of depth to what’s shaping up to be a rugged recruiting class, currently at No. 25 nationwide. With offensive line coach Stacy Searels thrilled about the new addition, calling Houston “another brick in the Great Wall of Georgia,” this looks like a pivotal moment for the Dawgs’ offensive front for years to come. Graham is still planning visits to some other big programs, but for now, his commitment is a huge boost for UGA. LEARN MORE.
