Athens (Ga.) Clarke Central four-star defensive lineman Anthony Lonon is set to announce his college commitment on Saturday.

The No. 263 overall prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings will choose between Georgia Tech and Georgia on Saturday at Clarke Central High School.

Lonon is a Georgia legacy. His father played tight end and defensive end at Georgia. Georgia Tech has been pushing hard for Lonon. He has taken official visits to both programs. Lonon was in Athens for an official visit on June 20.

The four-star was in Atlanta on June 13. Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine favors Georgia going into commitment day. The Bulldogs have a 94.8 percent chance of landing the four-star defensive lineman, according to RPM.

Notable Quotes: “When I put on that uniform, I felt elite and like I could genuinely be a part of the program.” June 23.

The Big Picture

Georgia has six defensive linemen pledged in the 2026 class already. Four-star Valdin Sone, PJ Dean, Carter Luckie, along with three-stars Preston Carey and Corey Howard, make up the class so far.

Georgia also has junior college transfer, Seven Cloud, committed as well. Georgia entered this cycle wanting to inject some youth into the 2026 class and it has done that with multiple types of players along the front line.

Lonon is unique among all of them. He is being recruited to play the zero, three, five, seven and nine techniques.

Georgia has made it clear that he has a spot and can fill a few different roles should he land in Athens next year.
