Defensive back Blake Stewart commits to UGA on Early Signing Day

Early Signing Day for the 2026 recruiting class began this morning, and the Georgia Bulldogs added two commitments to their class in four-star offensive lineman Tyreek Jemison and three-star linebacker Terrence Penick.

Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have picked up a third commitment today, this one from three-star defensive back Blake Stewart out of Woodward Academy in Atlanta, Ga. Stewart (6-0, 180) chose Georgia over offers from several top schools, including Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Indiana, Miami, Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt.
