Vance Spafford, the No. 10-ranked wide receiver in the 2026 class, committed to Georgia on Tuesday.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Spafford picked the Bulldogs over offers from Oregon, Nebraska and Ole Miss.
In the first nine games of the regular season for 10-0 Mission Viejo (Calif.), the four-star prospect caught 44 passes for 826 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The 247Sports composite also ranks Spafford as the overall No. 10 player in California and No. 65 in the nation.
Spafford told 247Sports he was sold on Georgia after a trip to Athens.
“The football team is made up of the best of the best,” Spafford said. “When I went on my visit there earlier this season, I just noticed how amazing their offensive line was, how much time Carson Beck had to throw, so why not join a team that is going to throw the ball like that? The program will always attract the best players and it’s got a winning culture, so that’s something that really was hard to turn down for me.
“The SEC is the best football in the nation. When you’re at Georgia practicing against the best every day, it prepares you to play against the best and it’s the closest to being in the NFL, which is where I want to go. I want to be challenged every day.”
