Georgia football adds punter, kicker to 2026 recruiting class

Georgia added two important specialists to its future roster with the commitments of punter Wade Register and kicker Harran Zureikat, strengthening a position group that often decides close SEC games.

Register, one of the top punting prospects in the Southeast, brings a powerful leg and consistent hang time that has drawn attention from special teams coordinators across the country. His ability to flip the field, pin opponents deep, and maintain steady placement makes him an ideal fit for Georgia’s emphasis on complementary football. Coaches have praised his mechanics and poise, noting that he already shows the maturity and rhythm of a college-ready punter.

Zureikat, meanwhile, arrives as a rising kicker known for his accuracy and range. He’s shown dependable production on field goals and kickoffs, with a smooth strike and the confidence to handle high‑pressure moments. Georgia has leaned heavily on reliable specialists during its championship runs, and Zureikat’s skill set aligns with that tradition. His commitment gives the Bulldogs a long‑term option who can handle both scoring duties and kickoff responsibilities.
