Kirby Smart and Georgia add to elite class with flip from Penn State 

One has to wonder how long the Penn State Nittany Lions can go without putting together a plan at head coach, because their 2026 recruiting class is being absolutely pillaged as their future looks uncertain.

Penn State suffered yet another decommitment over the weekend, with this one being a big-time flip in favor of Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs.

Elijah Littlejohn is a 4-star linebacker from Charlotte, North Carolina. He had been committed to Penn State since June, but the Bulldogs never really left the radar for him.

Penn State fired James Franklin in October, and from there, Littlejohn decided that he should start looking around. The Bulldogs reached back out to see where things stood, and now he's flipped his commitment from PSU to UGA.

“Georgia has always been pushing hard for me since the beginning of my junior year,” Littlejohn told Rivals. “It has always been a top school, but once I really started thinking about Georgia was when Coach Franklin got fired from Penn State. Georgia coaches reached out to me and it took off from there.”
