Zech Fort Commits to UGA Football's 2026 Class

Four-star safety Zech Fort has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs, marking a significant addition to their 2026 recruiting class. Fort, ranked as the top safety and overall No. 39 recruit according to ESPN, chose Georgia over notable programs such as Alabama, Notre Dame, and Ohio State. His commitment continues the trend of recruits from IMG Academy joining the Bulldogs, with Fort being the 11th since 2021. He cited strong relationships with Georgia's coaching staff, particularly head coach Kirby Smart and defensive backs coaches Donte Williams and Travaris Robinson, as influential factors in his decision. Fort's versatility as both a deep safety and nickelback, along with his aggressive playing style, is seen as a valuable asset for Georgia. He joins four other commitments for the 2026 class, enhancing Georgia's competitive recruiting efforts.
