The Georgia Bulldogs have landed a commitment from four-star wide receiver Vance Spafford. Head coach Kirby Smart has been hearing about the lack of recruitment for the wide receiver position in these past recruiting classes. In the past five recruiting classes, Georgia has not had a commitment from a wide receiver inside of the top 100.
Spafford is ranked as the No. 65 recruit in the 2026 cycle, per 247Sports. The four-star is the No. 10 receiver in the nation and the No. 10 recruit in California.
Looking at Spafford’s sophomore year highlight tape, he possess great speed, natural hands, and the run after catch ability to take a 10 yard slant to the house. Spafford smashed all the single-season receiving records for California powerhouse Mission Viejo High School as a sophomore, catching 83 balls for 1,576 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Kirby Smart and company beat out Ole Miss, Oregon, and Nebraska to secure Spafford’s services. Spafford’s development in the next two years will be something to look out for before he steps foot on campus.
In Georgia’s next two recruiting classes, they now have two top-100 wide receiver commits in 2025 commit Tayln Taylor and new 2026 commit Vance Spafford. Spafford is a 5 foot-11, 170 pound prospect who is a four-star recruit across all recruiting services.
Spafford is Georgia’s third commitment in the class of 2026.
