Georgia officially adds 4-star LB Nick Abrams to 2026 class

One of Glenn Schumann‘s top inside linebacker targets in the 2026 class has signed with Georgia. Nick Abrams (McDonogh; Owings Mills, Md.) put pen to paper early on Wednesday morning. The Bulldogs annouced him as a signee just after 9:30 a.m. ET.

At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, Abrams is ranked as the nation’s No. 320 overall prospect and the No. 19 linebacker according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, a weighted average that includes all three websites that publish recruiting rankings. He is the No. 8 player in Maryland.

If you just go by the Rivals300, our stand-alone rankings, Abrams ranks much higher. There he is considered the No. 228 overall prospect in America and the No. 14 linebacker. He’s also the No. 6 player in Maryland.

The Bulldogs targeted Abrams in January of this year, extending the offer just 11 days into the year. His frame, athleticism, and, most of all, length, moved him near the top of the Georgia wish list. While Schumann had other linebackers higher on the board, Abrams was a take from the jump.

The four-star prospec took an official visit to Athens on May 16 and committed exactly two months later on July 16. He did that the day after five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, a top Georgia target from Grayson High School, chose Texas over the Bulldogs. Oregon was the primary competition for UGA.

Michigan later made a move to try and flip Abrams. It even got to the point where it appeared as if he would end up wearing the maize and blue. Georgia weathered the storm, and he ultimately decided to shut his recruitment down.

“There was some stuff behind it that I need to figure out in terms of giving every school a chance,” Abrams told DawgsHQ. “In my heart, it felt like I was always at home. I was always going to be a Dawg. Schools, out of respect and out of due diligence, I kept talking to schools because, you know, just, you know, if anything happened, anything, you know, changed, anything, just, you never know what can happen in recruiting. I kept in contact, but at the end of the day, I was really locked in with it, with the Dawgs’.”
