Georgia football adds commitment from 4-star Buford OL

Houston chose Georgia over other prominent programs, including Ole Miss, Florida, and Florida State. His decision to stay in-state underscores the Bulldogs’ strong presence in local recruiting efforts. Houston cited Georgia’s history of developing NFL-caliber offensive linemen and the proximity to home as key factors in his commitment. “I feel like it’s the best fit for me,” Houston told the Athens-Banner Herald. “I can end up being a great football player there. Hopefully, the goal is to win a few national championships and, obviously, the main goal is to go to the NFL. I just feel like it’s the best place I can strive as a football player.” ([SI][1], [Saturday Down South][2])

Known for his powerful hands and quick get-off at the snap, Houston brings a physical edge and explosiveness that fits perfectly with Georgia’s dominant offensive identity. He moves exceptionally well for a lineman of his size, showing great movement in space and the ability to reach second-level defenders with ease. His combination of size, athleticism, and technique makes him a high-upside addition to a Georgia unit that continues to be one of the most valuable in the nation. ([SI][1])

Houston becomes the seventh known recruit to commit to Georgia’s 2026 class and the fifth blue-chip prospect. He is the first offensive lineman to join the group, which already includes notable names like wide receiver Vance Spafford, tight end Lincoln Keys, defensive lineman Seven Cloud, safety Zech Fort, wide receiver Brady Marchese, and safety Kealan Jones.

With Houston’s commitment, Georgia continues to solidify its reputation for attracting top-tier talent, particularly along the offensive line. His addition is expected to bolster the Bulldogs’ offensive front in the coming years, maintaining the program’s tradition of excellence in the trenches.
