Georgia Bulldogs miss the cut for Buford 4-star EDGE Dre Quinn

The Bulldogs had initially made the cut when Quinn previously narrowed his list down to six schools: Clemson, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Georgia, and Texas.

According to On3’s industry composite, he ranks as the No. 274 overall prospect, No. 30 EDGE, and No. 31 player in Georgia.

As a junior at Greater Atlanta Christian, Quinn posted 42 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and forced one fumble, doubling his previous year's production. He will play his final season at Buford High School before taking his talents to the college level next year. 

Kirby Smart also came up short in the race for 2026 four-star linebacker Thomas Davis Jr.-- the son of Georgia legend Thomas Davis Sr. -- who shut down his recruitment after committing to Notre Dame.

The silver lining for the Bulldogs, though, is that they secured a pledge from four-star offensive tackle Ekene Ogbok, a key addition to their 2026 class.
