Georgia secured a commitment from 5-star running back Kemon Spell, choosing the Bulldogs over Penn State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Miami after a visit, bolstering Georgia's 2027 class and its national-title aspirations.
Georgia secured a commitment from the Rivals No. 1 running back in the 2027 class, Kemon Spell, choosing the Bulldogs over Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Miami, Michigan and USC after a weekend visit to Athens. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound back becomes Georgia’s sixth commitment in the 2027 cycle and is a former Penn State pledge who exploded on the high school scene with dominant rushing and all-purpose yardage. Scouting notes praise Spell’s combination of power, elusiveness, breakaway speed and versatility, suggesting he could make an immediate impact in Kirby Smart’s program.
Five-star running back Kemon Spell has decommitted from Penn State following the firing of head coach James Franklin, leaving Penn State with no commits in the 2027 class and opening his recruitment to other programs. Spell, a top-ranked RB and highly touted prospect, had previously committed to Penn State but is now exploring other options amid coaching changes and Penn State's recent struggles.
