Kirby Smart Secures Huge Recruitment Win With Latest Announcement to Kickoff Fresh New Class With Latest Commitment

June is heating up, and so is Kirby Smart’s recruiting machine. While Georgia stays locked in on its 2026 class, the Dawgs are also laying the groundwork for future dominance. Smart has been hands-on, running prospect camps all week, giving young talent a shot to shine. The results? A wave of new offers and fresh momentum—highlighted by the commitment of four-star legacy Carter Luckie. It’s a big win for the 2026 haul, and more could be on the way. But now, Georgia isn’t just stacking stars—they’re kicking off the next era with serious swagger.

Simply put, Georgia didn’t waste any time making a splash in the 2027 class. On June 3, On3 Recruiting reported that Gavin Honore, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound wideout from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei, gave the Dawgs his commitment after just one visit. Honore camped in Athens over the weekend—and that was all it took. While he’s unranked by On3, both 247Sports and Rivals tag him as a three-star. A smooth route-runner with serious upside, Honore could be the spark that lights Georgia’s 2027 fire early. Kirby Smart’s pipeline shows no signs of slowing down.

Yup, Georgia beat out big names like Texas, Vols, and SMU to land Gavin Honore—and it didn’t take long to seal the deal. After working closely with the Bulldogs’ coaching staff during his visit, the Mater Dei standout knew Athens was the place for him. “I chose to commit to Georgia because of the culture and the way they run their program,” Honore told On3. Adding, “The program reminds me a lot of Mater Dei and both Georgia and Mater Dei have a culture of being great and winning. That’s something I really want to be apart of.” But for Kirby Smart, it’s another early gem in a class that’s already making noise.
