Derrek Cooper, 5-Star RB in the 2026 Recruiting Class, Announces Commitment Date

The Georgia Bulldogs have closely recruited Cooper, and the running back was once a member of the Bulldogs' 2026 class before re-opening his recruitment in June of 2024. The two parties have since remained in close contact, with Cooper taking a handful of visits to Athens since then. 

Should the Bulldogs land Cooper, he would bolster the Dawgs' 2026 recruiting class, which already has more than 20 prospects and ranks inside the top 3 in the country. Coverage for Cooper's announcement will begin at 7 p.m.
