Another Georgia Bulldogs recruiting prospect has officially signed their letter of intent to play football at the University of Georgia. 

The early national signing day period for the 2026 recruiting class has arrived, a prospects all across the country officially sign their letters of intent to the schools of their choice. This can be an extremely exciting and stressful time for college teams, as they look to earn as many talented players as possible. 

The Georgia Bulldogs are one of many teams that have been heavily involved in this year's recruiting class, and are now begging to see official signings roll in. The latest player to officially sign their letter of intent for the Dawgs is Zech Fort, a defensive back prospect from Bradenton, Florida. 

What Zech Fort Brings to the Georgia Bulldogs

According to 247 Sports, Fort is a 4-star prospect who currently stands just under six feet tall and weighs 195 pounds. He announced his commitment to the Bulldogs in January of 2025 and has since taken multiple visits to Athens.

The Bulldogs have a long-standing history of strong play from the defensive back position and have already produced a litany of NFL Draft picks. Should Fort's recruiting profile prove to be true, the signee has an excellent opportunity to become one of the next great defensive back players for Georgia. 

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Football staff have been one of the most relentless forces in college football when it comes to recruiting highly talented players, and appear to be in the midst of signing another extremely talented recruiting class that will likely land somewhere inside the top 10. 

As the signing day period continues, the Bulldogs will look to sign as many highly talented players to their 2026 recruiting class as possible. The early signing window is set to be completed on Friday, December 5th. Following that, players will be available to officially sign on Wednesday, February 4th.
