Top talented star is a highly coveted recruit for Georgia football fans to keep an eye on for the 2026 class. As a five-star athlete and the No. 23 overall player in the country according to 247Sports, Cooper is also ranked as the No. 3 ATH and the No. 3 player from Florida. Kirby Smart and his staff have shown strong interest in Cooper, having recently made a significant push in his recruitment. This was highlighted by Smart’s in-person visit to Cooper earlier this week, signaling the program’s commitment to landing him.
Georgia football likely in Cooper’s top 2
Georgia has successfully made Derrek Cooper’s top 10 list, alongside other prominent programs like Florida State, Alabama, Florida, Penn State, Miami, Auburn, Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Ole Miss. However, the real encouraging sign for the Bulldogs is that Georgia seems to be positioned much higher on Cooper’s list. According to a recent post from Chad Simmons with On3, it appears that Georgia is in Cooper’s top two, which gives them a strong shot at landing the highly-ranked athlete.
Derrek Cooper’s recruitment is shaping up to be a battle between Georgia and Miami, as he has only scheduled official visits to these two schools. With both programs in the running as his top two, it would certainly be an interesting storyline for Georgia, especially considering how Miami managed to pull Carson Beck from the Bulldogs. Regardless of that history, Cooper is an elite talent, and Georgia would be fortunate to land him. His skill set and potential make him a top priority for the Bulldogs as they aim to secure one of the best players in the 2026 class.
