Georgia Secures Four-Star Safety Chace Calicut Commitment

Chace Calicut, a highly ranked four-star safety from North Shore High School in Texas, has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs over finalists Texas and Michigan, marking a significant win for Georgia's 2026 recruiting class. Calicut, who initially silently committed to Texas, was swayed by the official visit to Georgia, where coaches Kirby Smart and Donte’ Williams impressed him with their vision for his development and NFL prospects. At 6'3" and 190 pounds, Calicut's versatility in man and zone coverage, physicality, and playmaking ability align well with Georgia's aggressive defensive identity. His commitment is part of a historic run for Georgia, which has secured six commitments in as many days, bolstering their national recruiting standing and adding depth to their secondary alongside other top recruits. The decision highlights the continuing importance of official visits in college football recruiting despite the influence of name, image, and likeness opportunities. Calicut's choice underscores Georgia's growing appeal as a destination for elite defensive backs aiming for NFL careers.
