The Georgia Bulldogs picked up their fourth commitment of the week.

According to Dawg Nation's Jeff Sentell, the nation's No. 1 kicker, Harran Zureikat, has committed to the University of Georgia. 

The five-star recruit out of Fox Chapel High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, gave his verbal commitment to the Bulldogs just two days after earning an offer during an on-campus workout in front of head coach Kirby Smart.

“Being offered by a school like Georgia honesty at first is a little surreal, and it feels crazy that I have the opportunity to play in the SEC,” Zureikat told Pittsburgh Sports Now. “But on the other hand, I know that I am capable of, and I feel very deserving of this offer."

Zureikat's announcement comes just one day after Wade Register, the top-ranked punter in the 2026 recruiting class, also announced his verbal commitment to the Bulldogs.

A hometown star, Zureikat was also set to take an official visit with the Pitt Panthers in two weeks from June 19 to 21, but those plans could be cancelled now that he is locked into the Dawgs. He already made an official visit to Boston College and was also expected to be at Syracuse this weekend.

Zureikat becomes the 16th player to commit to Georgia’s growing 2026 recruiting class. The Bulldogs are gearing up for another major recruiting weekend as they look to make a strong impression on five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson.
