Georgia’s 2026 offensive line class just got its finishing touch - and it’s a big one. Tyreek Jemison, a 6-foot-4, 325-pound mauler out of Paulding County High School in Dallas, Georgia, has flipped his commitment from Kentucky and will now suit up for the Bulldogs. Jemison chose the in-state powerhouse over offers from Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, LSU, and his former pledge, Kentucky.
This is a significant pickup for Georgia, both in terms of talent and in-state recruiting momentum. Jemison is ranked No. 240 nationally and the No. 14 interior offensive lineman in the class according to 247Sports. The industry-wide Composite rankings slot him at No. 236 overall, No. 16 among interior linemen, and No. 31 in Georgia - a strong consensus for a player who’s still developing and trending upward.
For Jemison, the decision was about more than proximity - it was about development. “For me, I just feel like, just the offensive line development, I just feel like it's a recipe for greatness, man.
They just put a lot of guys in the NFL,” he said. And he’s not wrong.
Georgia has built a reputation as one of the premier programs for molding offensive linemen into pros, and Jemison clearly sees himself as the next in that pipeline.
So what exactly is Georgia getting in Jemison? According to 247Sports national analyst Hudson Standish, who evaluated him in December, Jemison is a “mountain of a human” - hovering around 6-foot-5, 325 - and plays with the kind of physicality you can’t teach. He’s not just big; he’s nasty, finishing plays through the whistle and using that frame to punish defenders.
The senior tape shows a player who’s made major strides year over year. Jemison has lined up at both left tackle and defensive tackle, and that two-way experience has helped sharpen his motor and hand usage. He brings some position versatility, but long-term he projects as a road-grading interior lineman - the kind of guy who can anchor the run game from day one.
There’s also a lot to like about his lower-body strength. He’s got the leg drive to move defenders off their spot and the anchor to hold up in pass protection. While he may not be your prototypical blindside protector, he’s agile enough to handle quick interior rushers and smart enough to pick up stunts and twists.
The scouting report comes with a Day 3 NFL Draft projection - for now. But Jemison’s trajectory suggests there’s room for that stock to rise. He’s already shown he can dominate at the high school level, and with Georgia’s development track record, it’s not hard to imagine him becoming a key contributor - and maybe more - in Athens.
Bottom line: Georgia just added another big, physical piece to its offensive front. Jemison brings size, strength, and a mean streak - and in Kirby Smart’s system, that’s a recipe for success.
