For the Georgia Bulldogs, this afternoon matchup versus Mississippi State already has a high-profile recruit watching, and there could be another one on the way.
High school running back Jae Lamar, who received an offer from Georgia last weekend, recently called Georgia his “dream team”, according to Jeff Sentell of DawgNation:
“It means a lot,” he said. “Georgia is my dream team. I have always wanted to play at Georgia (with) the great backs that come from there. You know Todd Gurley. There’s a lot of great backs out there and I think that it fits me there. Georgia has always been at the top of my list. I think they are number one right now.”
The class of 2026 recruit out of Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Georgia, hasn’t been ranked or graded by recruiting websites such as 247Sports yet, but he surely will be soon. This highlight a big reason why Georgia offered him a scholarship:

The 5 foot, 11 inch running back has 575 rushing yards on 58 attempts, good for a jaw-dropping 9.9 yards per attempt. In just his sixth varsity game, he put up 182 rushing yards on 14 carries and 77 yards receiving, including that insane highlight. This is on a Colquitt County team that is ranked the 13th-best high school team in Georgia.
It’ll be interesting to see where he’ll commit. Lamar’s potential presence at Georgia would make him part of a very loaded young backfield with Nate Frazier and Dwight Phillips. Georgia fans should be excited if he decides to commit to the Dawgs.
