Georgia Top Running Back Recruit for 2028 Visited Athens for Missouri Game
Nov 15, 2026 12:00 PM

The Georgia Bulldogs had a very talented prospect who they are leading for in town.

The Georgia Bulldogs have been making some big moves on the recruiting trail as of late in both the class of 2027 as well as the class of 2028 in trying to land the next generation of superstars in Athens.

While most had already turned the page to 2028, Kirby Smart has proven to still have some more tricks up his sleeve for 2027, and that was highlighted by the visitor list for Georgia's game this weekend against the Missouri Tigers. The coaching staff was hosting some significant targets they are still trying to land for 2027, but as for the 2028 class, a guy who the Dawgs have been connected to since the beginning is one of the best running backs in the nation and top players overall in the talent-rich state of Georgia.

This weekend was just the latest in a long line of visits to Athens for Newton High School running back Kevin Hartsfield, and the Bulldogs continue to be the school to beat to land his commitment.

Kevin Hartsfield Continues to Show Major Interest in Georgia

The Bulldogs have been at the forefront of this recruitment since the very beginning, and as Hartsfield gets a little bit closer to the time he is actually going to have to make a decision, it seems his home state school is still the ones looming largest.

With Kemon Spell coming in for the 2027 class this spring, it would be Georgia's second consecutive top running back in the nation landed, and potentially give the Dawgs their next elite duo in the backfield to terrorize opposing defenses for years to come.

Hartsfield has a rare blend of power and speed, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing right around 200 pounds with an impressive frame for just a high school junior. Playing at the highest level of high school football in the state of Georgia, this is not a kid simply beating up on inferior competition. He is going up against future SEC players each and every week and continuing to excel.

As Hartsfield prepares to wrap up his junior campaign, the upcoming spring is going to be huge as he prepares to make a final decision where he will go to school. Right now, it seems like Georgia is going to enter that official visit period with a major advantage over rivals both in the SEC and around the country.
