Georgia adds standout specialist to 2026 recruiting class

Wade Register did not need long to tell Kirby Smart he wants to be a Georgia Bulldog.

The UGA staff extended a scholarship offer to Register on Tuesday. Less than 24 hours later, the standout specialist from Trinity Christian School in Dublin, Georgia committed to the G. He made the big announcement on social media.
