ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have landed their second wide receiver in the 2026 class.

They landed California speedster Vance Spafford‍ first, and now assistant James Coley has landed a commitment from three-star Cartersville (GA) wideout, Brady Marchese‍.

Another receiver who can really run, Marchese saw his recruitment take off in January and February and made his verbal commitment today during an unofficial visit to Athens.

This fast-rising in-state pass-catcher is coming off a strong junior season this fall where he brought a level of explosion and big-play ability to the Cartersville offense. He’s a sure-handed, shifty wideout who caught 44 passes for 1,051 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was a reliable option all year long who showed the ability to stretch the field and help in the screen and short passing game.

He brings a muscular  6-foot-1 185-pound frame and can break tackles after the catch when he’s not flying past them. He’s a big-play wideout who will bring more speed and versatility to the Georgia receiver room in 2026.
