Top cornerback recruit Jontavius Wyman commits to Georgia over Tennessee

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed one of the nation's top cornerbacks from the 2026 recruiting class in three-star prospect Jontavius Wyman.

Wyman initially received an offer from the Bulldogs back in May, but he didn't make things official until Saturday morning, picking Georgia over Tennessee, Miami and Oregon.

He is the 12th-ranked cornerback in his class and the No. 154 overall recruit in the country, per 247Sports.

Wyman said Georgia's winning culture and plan for "life after football" are what helped make his decision easy.

"It's a winning program," Wyman told UGASports. "They provide life after football. They will help you even when your time is done. Their defense is amazing, what they are doing over there is different. They use their corners in man, zone, blitzes, et cetera. It's a great system and place where they put out great corners into the NFL. Coach Donte (Williams, defensive backs coach) and Coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson, safeties coach) have a great history of great players."

Wyman is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound two-way player from Jonesboro, GA. In 2023, he racked up 37 tackles, 12 pass breakups, and five interceptions at cornerback while hauling in 37 passes for 602 yards and seven touchdowns as a receiver. He also took some snaps at quarterback and threw for 286 yards and five touchdowns.

Wyman is also a track star.

With Wyman, the Bulldogs now have two commits for the class of 2026. Their first 2026 commit was from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis
