In a significant development for the Georgia Bulldogs’ 2026 recruiting class, four-star cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick has officially shut down his recruitment and committed to the University of Georgia. Fitzpatrick, who attends St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is ranked as the No. 3 cornerback and the 47th overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
The 6-foot-0.5-inch, 185-pound defensive back chose Georgia over other top programs, including Florida, Texas, Miami, and Ohio State. His decision adds another elite talent to Georgia’s defensive pipeline, which has been a cornerstone of the program’s success under head coach Kirby Smart. Notably, Kirby Smart previously served as the defensive coordinator at Alabama during Fitzpatrick’s brother Minkah Fitzpatrick’s tenure with the Crimson Tide.
Justice Fitzpatrick is known for his versatility and football IQ, excelling in both man-to-man and zone coverage. His commitment strengthens Georgia’s already impressive 2026 class, which includes other notable recruits. With Fitzpatrick’s addition, the Bulldogs continue to solidify their position as a dominant force in college football recruiting.
As the recruiting cycle progresses, Georgia fans can look forward to more updates on the 2026 class and the potential impact of these future Bulldogs on the field.
