0 minutes agoWhile the recruiting battles have changed with Nick Saban no longer in charge, it’s noteworthy anytime Georgia and Alabama go head-to-head for one of the nation’s top prospects.

Georgia has seen one of its wide receiver commitments in the 2026 recruiting class flip his commitment, as Vance Spafford announced his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. Spafford is the No. 85 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle per the On3 Industry rankings. The move does not come as a surprise, as Spafford had taken other visits and had been trending away from Georgia, even after taking an official visit this month. Spafford first committed to Georgia in October of 2024.

Kept it limited to players of the Kirby Smart era. Some of these would've worked out really well for Georgia. Others, like say George Pickens (through no fault of his own) in 2021, show how important cap allocation is going to be moving forward.
Due to the House Settlement, players are now directly able to be paid by schools. So which former Georgia standouts would've earned the highest payouts going into a season? There would've been some very tough negotiations: https://t.co/fNFrbfOwwv
