Georgia’s 2027 class already has two five-star commitments, and Jaxon Dollar is making a strong case that his spot should be higher than it is right now.
The elite tight end showed out at a Rivals event this past weekend, where he was tabbed the fourth-best player at the event and the top tight end. That kind of performance is the sort that forces recruiting services to take another look, especially when a player is already sitting just inside five-star territory.
Right now, Dollar is ranked No. 28 overall in the country and No. 2 at tight end. That’s a strong placement by any measure, but the push for him to move up is obvious. LSU commit Ahmad Hudson currently holds the No. 1 tight end spot and checks in at No. 19 nationally, but Dollar has been piling up strong showings and has a real argument to climb ahead of him.
The bigger picture for Georgia is just as impressive. Since Brock Bowers was in Athens, the Bulldogs have owned the tight end conversation, and they haven’t backed off that standard.
They signed two of the top 10 tight ends in the 2025 class, then followed that with three more top-10 tight ends in 2026. Dollar is already in the fold for 2027, and Georgia also has another top 10 tight end committed in the 2028 class.
That level of depth is hard to even process, but it’s where Georgia stands.
And Dollar doesn’t sound like a player who’s going to be overwhelmed by it. He’s expected to show up ready to compete for snaps as soon as he gets to campus next year, and it wouldn’t be a shock if he carves out significant playing time during his freshman season.

Kirby Smart May Be Closing In On Two Crucial Georgia Flips
Kirby Smart brought in two more defensive back targets for official visits as Georgia keeps working to replenish its secondary recruiting board. The Bulldogs hosted a pair of commits from other programs and, with room to keep pressing at the position, the visit weekend gave Georgia another chance to sell its depth chart, development track record and long-term fit to players it believes can help.
The interest is especially notable because Georgia has had to reset its approach after losing out on previous defensive back commitments, leaving the class without anyone locked in at the position. Neither visit has turned into a flip yet, but Georgia is still in the mix with two prospects it views as realistic contributors, and the next step will be watching whether the momentum from Athens carries beyond the trip itself.

Matthew Stafford Just Sent A Clear Message About His Future
Matthew Stafford is still approaching his future the same way he has approached so much of his career: one season at a time. The former Georgia star talked through his mindset heading into the next NFL campaign, stressing that he is focused on the present while also making it clear he expects to be ready for the 2026 season.
The Rams are also being careful with how much contact Stafford takes on this summer, which is part of the plan as he works through a demanding offseason. Beyond his own status, Stafford has also taken on a mentors role with a pair of younger quarterbacks on the roster, including Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett, giving the veteran another way to shape the room even as his own timeline remains something to watch.

Sanford Stadiums Second Year Beer Boom Got Bigger Than Anyone Expected
Sanford Stadiums second year of alcohol sales turned into a much bigger business than the first. Georgias per-game alcohol revenue jumped 32.1% in the 2025 season compared with 2024, a notable increase for a home schedule that included seven games and produced more than $4.3 million in gross revenue. It was another sign that the concession side of game day has quickly become part of the financial picture around Bulldogs football.
Georgias numbers also placed it near the top of the conference conversation, finishing second in the SEC in alcohol sales revenue behind Texas A&M. For a program that continues to draw massive crowds and premium matchups in Athens, the market clearly has room to grow, even if the biggest individual spikes can still come from the most anticipated home dates.
