Georgia is picking up wins on and off the field as of late.
Following the Bulldogs’ convincing 31-17 win over Tennessee on Saturday night, Kirby Smart & Co. landed a commitment from Class of 2026 3-star tight end Lincoln Keyes.

The Michigan-native chose UGA over the likes of the home-state Wolverines, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M and Michigan State.
At 6-foot-6, Keyes has a frame that matches up well with Georgia tight ends who have had success recently. Brock Bowers of the Oakland Raiders comes to mind, and Bulldog tight ends Oscar Delp and Benjamin Yurosek combined for nine catches for 107 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win over the Vols.
Delp and Yurosek’s strong showing may have spurned Keyes to make his commitment, as after the 2 highly-touted tight ends had been moderately used all season, they received plenty of targets in last night’s win.
Georgia currently has the No. 12 overall recruiting class for 2026 according to 247 Sports, with Keyes making it 4 commitments for the Bulldogs in that group.
