Four-star tight end Brayden Fogle is in for the Georgia Bulldogs

Todd Hartley has made a name for himself as a top recruiter in the country, and when it comes to the tight end room, he’s kept the Bulldogs stocked up in a major way. He continued that run on Wednesday, with the Dawgs officially landing the signature of four-star prospect Brayden Fogle.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 209 overall prospect per the On3 Industry Ranking, Fogle is a 6-foot-4, 235 pound senior at Mansfield, Ohio’s Lexington High School. He ranks as the No. 10 tight end in the country and No. 10 prospect in the state of Ohio for the Class of 2026 per the same metric.

Fogle committed to the Bulldogs in early July, choosing Kirby Smart’s team over the likes of Penn State, LSU, and Notre Dame, and he was clear on what led him to land in Athens in the end.

“It’s the past in what they’ve done, but also the standard that they have, which is to be the best,” Fogle told DawgsHQ’s Jeremy Johnson at the time of his choice. “They expect that out of their players. The way that they go about doing that is very special. There aren’t many other places that set that standard the way that they do and how efficiently they get it done. It’s also how they build you, not just as a football player but as a person.”

While the Dawgs long had Lincoln Keyes committed and were expected to land the services of Kaiden Prothro before it became clear that Fogle would join the fold, he didn’t shy away from competing with two other highly ranked stars in the same cycle.

“It’s good to have a lot of competition,” Fogle said. “They play a lot of guys. They’re in 12 or 13 personnel a lot. It’s a good thing to have competition, but I also know that it’s only going to make us better as a room and as a team.”

With almost 800 yards in his junior season, Fogle flashes the ability to split out wide, make adjustments in coverage, the ability to win 50/50 balls, and plenty of the speed and physicality that Kirby Smart covets in tight ends.
