Most of the college football world was shocked to see Georgia secure the commitment of 5-star offensive lineman Mark Matthews.

That right there is where it all starts! Go Dawgs!!
This 2026 offensive line has been a dominant force this season, and a big reason for the success that UGA is experiencing. It would be a travesty for the Joe Moore Award committee to once again ignore UGA when they decide their winner later this year. With losing only 2 starters from the 2026 OL, they should be even more dominant in the 2027 season. This is where success starts, the OL and the DL, you have to be dominant in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and I love what the UGA Football Program is doing to make sure that happens.
GO DAWGS!
Growing up in Athens, I was taught that we all lived in the Piedmont…..Dawgs keep recruiting Behemoths like Matthews….gona have to redraw the maps to include Athens in the Appalachians! The Dawgs have definitely become O-Line U!…..which translates very well to every perspective RB's in America…..not to mention QB's that like to stay unsacked and healthy!
With the right replacements for GS,KJB, and ERIII the future continues to look bright
A big AMEN to the comments from my fellow Dawgs fans here !! A great Get for UGA !! Keep on Choppin !!
Well since Michigan will not be in the running, so we have a real chance this year. Now we just need to keep Rauscher !!
"Matthews is a Dawg". Not yet (though it looks good so close to signing day). As we have all so painfully learned being committed and being signed are 2 very different things.
UGA has 5 (!) OT recruits committed in '27 in addition to the latest commitment from Matthews. Add in next year's starters on the OL (55 and 63 at OG and 73 and 72 at OT) and you have to wonder if recruits see a logjam at OT and on the OL.
Would hate to see a couple of these OT recruits, who have been all in at UGA and thought they would be in the mix to compete in '27, decommit. And then see TX or Mia or ? swoop in with a big bag at the 11th hour and flip Matthews. It will be interesting to watch how it all plays out.
Excellent get. Now one game-changing LB or DL and we’re set for the class.
yaaaaaaasss!
Absolutely!
yes!
You right!
Yep!
I'm with you @UGADad20. The next 21 days will be interesting. Sometimes I wonder if other teams just look to see who has committed to UGA and then decide to go all-in on our recruits. I truly hope we can hold on to Matthews and Spell but as we all saw last year with Jared Curtis (yes, I'm calling him out AGAIN), regardless of how close we are to signing day, nothing is certain until that signature actually goes on the paper. Go Dawgs!
