The Georgia Bulldogs lost out on a major recruit to a familiar foe as of recent. Five-star edge rusher Rodney Dunham commited to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish last week.
Dunham is a class of 2026 five-star recruit from Charlotte, North Carolina. The 6-foot-4, 227-pound edge rusher plays high school football and baseball at Myers Park High School in Charlotte.
With the Myers Park Mustangs, he racked up 55 tackles, 16 TFLs, 20 pressures, and seven sacks in his sophomore season. As a junior, he totaled 39 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 16 quarterback hits, five sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery.
The Bulldogs were in the thick of things and the last visit until the Fighting Irish sealed the deal for him. Dunham is the 33rd best prospect in the nation, the fourth-best edge, and the third-best recruit from North Carolina.
Georgia will be very involved in this recruiting class to beef up the defensive line. As of recent they are the leader in the recruiting battle for four-star OL/DL PJ Dean.
Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football have the No. 24 recruiting class in the country right now with six total commitments. Three-star junior college defensive lineman Seven Cloud recently shut down his recruitment and reaffirmed his commitment to Georgia.
Head coach Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame have the nation’s fourth-best recruiting class. The Fighting Irish have 11 total commitments and Dunham is their highest ranked commitment.
