Georgia Flips Four-Star Cornerback Caden Harris from Vanderbilt

Caden Harris, a highly rated four-star cornerback and one of the top prospects in Tennessee's 2026 class, flipped his commitment from Vanderbilt to the University of Georgia, marking a significant recruiting win for Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs. Harris initially committed to Vanderbilt in April, making him their only blue-chip recruit, but after an official visit to Georgia and persistent recruitment efforts, including detailed coaching from Georgia's defensive backs coach Donte Williams, he decided to switch his commitment. Harris cited the strong defensive coaching staff, the opportunity to develop under coach Smart, and the chance to compete with elite players as key factors in his decision. This flip adds to Georgia's already impressive class, which is ranked fourth nationally with 16 commits, and includes another top cornerback, Justice Fitzpatrick. Georgia's continued momentum in recruiting and the emphasis on player development, particularly on defense, have been instrumental in securing such high-profile commitments. The Bulldogs' recruiting strategy and culture have made them an attractive destination for top defensive talent like Harris.
