Jontavius Wyman (5-11, 170) currently plays for Jonesboro High School. He committed to the Georgia Bulldogs over Oregon, Texas A&M, Miami, and Tennessee, among others.

“It’s a winning program,” Wyman told UGASports.com after receiving an offer on May 8. “They provide life after football. They will help you even when your time is done. Their defense is amazing, what they are doing over there is different. They use their corners in man, zone, blitzes, et cetera. It’s a great system and place where they put out great corners into the NFL. Coach Donte (Williams, defensive backs coach) and Coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson, safeties coach) have a great history of great players.”

In the 247Sports Composite, Jontavius Wyman is rated as a four-star recruit, the No. 12 cornerback, and the No. 154 overall recruit in the country for 2026.

Rivals.com also rates Jontavius Wyman as a four-star recruit, the No. 7 safety, and the No. 130 recruit in the nation.

Wyman is the third commitment for Georgia for the class of 2026. Prior to Wyman’s commitment, UGA’s 2026 class was ranked seventh in the 247Sports Team Rankings.
