Elijah Littlejohn (6-2, 215) previously committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions in June, but reopened his recruitment after head coach James Franklin was fired. Littlejohn had offers from several other top schools, including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Miami, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

In the Rivals Industry Ranking, Elijah Littlejohn is listed as a three-star recruit, the No. 30 linebacker, and the No. 413 overall recruit for the class of 2026. Littlejohn is rated as a four-star recruit by 247Sports.

“(Defensive coordinator/inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann) just told me like they really need a linebacker,” Littlejohn told UGASports.com after visiting for the Ole Miss game. “He likes my frame, like how I can come off the edge, play in space and all that other stuff. And really, he just said he would love to get me on campus.”

Littlejohn joins linebacker commit Nick Abrams on Georgia’s roster next season. The pair are currently the only linebacker commitments for the Bulldogs.

With the addition of Littlejohn, the Georgia Bulldogs now have 31 commitments for the class of 2026. UGA’s 2026 class is currently ranked second by On3 and third by 247Sports.
