Kirby Smart and the No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are coming off their biggest win of the 2026 season against Ole Miss, and that momentum has already carried over to the recruiting trail.
The Dawgs officially landed the commitment of 5-star offensive tackle and recent Texas A&M decommit Mark Matthews on Monday morning.

The South Florida native is currently ranked as the No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 3 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting class, holding offers from virtually every major program in the country.
Matthews had been committed to the Aggies since May, initially choosing Mike Elko and Texas A&M over in-state Miami, but the program’s disappointing season ultimately led the highly coveted offensive lineman to reconsider his options.
Many recruiting analysts and insiders viewed the Hurricanes as the favorites to land Matthews following his decommitment over the weekend, but Smart appears to have worked some of his signature recruiting magic to secure what is now Georgia’s highest-rated commitment in the 2027 cycle.
With Matthews now in the fold, the Bulldogs currently own the No. 5-ranked recruiting class in the nation and could be in line to add several more highly touted prospects before National Signing Day.
