ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are bringing in some serious speed at the wide receiver position with a new commitment from four-star wideout, Vance Spafford‍.

The playmaking pass-catcher out of Mission Viejo (CA) is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2026 class and one of the fastest receivers in California.

After taking in a gameday visit to Georgia in mid-October to watch the Dawgs take down Mississippi State, Spafford has now decided to make a public commitment to play for James Coley and the Dawgs.

According to FanDuel, the Georgia Bulldogs have +150 odds to win the SEC Championship next month.


What Will Spafford bring to Athens?

Elite speed, ball skills, and natural playmaking ability.

At 5-foot-11 175-pounds, Spafford is a smooth route-runner with quick feet, change of direction, and outstanding hands. He can run, jump, block, and make big plays all over the field.

When he’s not flying by defenders with ease, this West Coast pass-catcher is getting open quickly, making plays in the screen and short passing game, and making plays in the return game. 

As a sophomore last season, Spafford hauled in a school-record 83 passes for 1,576 and 22 touchdowns. He’s off to a terrific start to his junior season, catching 48 passes for 895 yards and 14 touchdowns this season in 10 games.

When there’s a play to be made, Spafford knows how to make it. He’s a versatile receiver who can make big plays vertically while also having enough athleticism to leap up and win jump-balls in the endzone. There’s a lot to like about his game, and he’s been lighting up the stat sheet throughout his high school career.

Spafford gives Georgia their third commitment in the 2026 class, joining four-star defensive backs Dominick Kelly‍ and Jontavius Wyman‍.

Spafford is ranked as the No. 13 WR prospect and the No. 74 overall prospect in the country.
