Georgia 2026 Commit Justice Fitzpatrick Ends Recruitment

Justice Fitzpatrick, a highly ranked four-star cornerback recruit and younger brother of NFL safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, has officially shut down his recruitment and will no longer take official visits, solidifying his commitment to the University of Georgia. Fitzpatrick, ranked among the top cornerbacks nationally and in Florida, had initially planned an official visit to Ohio State but canceled it, opting to develop under Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who previously recruited his brother at Alabama. His decision contributes to Georgia's strong 2026 recruiting class, which already includes other four-star commitments like safety Jordan Smith and wide receiver Brady Marchese, both of whom have also closed their recruitments. Georgia continues to pursue top talent, including five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, with the program aiming to maintain its streak of top-three recruiting classes since 2017. Fitzpatrick's commitment is seen as a key piece for Georgia's defense, bolstering their secondary and enhancing the team's national standing in college football recruiting.
