Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs have officially locked in their 13th player in the 2026 recruiting class

ON3's Hayes Fawcett reports that local three-star interior offensive lineman and lifelong Georgia fan, Zach Lewis, has committed to the red and black. 

"I’ve grown up a Dawgs fan and now I get to be a Dawg!" Lewis said.

According to 247Sports, Lewis is a high-caliber three-star recruit, ranked No. 32 among interior offensive linemen in the 2026 class and No. 53 overall in the Peach State.

As a high school standout at North Gwinnett, Lewis plays both sides of the ball and will continue to do so this fall during his senior year. 

Lewis also had offers from powerhouse programs including Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Ole Miss. Georgia Tech emerged as the top competition, hosting Lewis for his only other official visit. But following a strong visit to Athens this past weekend, Georgia sealed the deal and secured his commitment.

Lewis is the second offensive lineman to join Georgia's 2026 recruiting class, alongside three-star offensive tackle Graham Houston.
