The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to flip one of the Wisconsin Badgers’ most prized commitments in the class of 2026. The Badgers, who have struggled mightily to recruit in the 2026 recruiting cycle (No. 60 recruiting class nationally with 14 commits), only have two four-star commitments.

Of course, Georgia is hoping to flip one of Wisconsin’s two four-star commitments. Four-star running back Amari Latimer committed to the Badgers in late June, but that has not stopped Georgia’s pursuit of the talented running back.

Latimer plays high school football for Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Georgia. The 6-foot, 215-pound running back is the No. 306 recruit in the class of 2026 and the No. 20 running back prospect. The Wisconsin commit is the No. 36 prospect in Georgia, per 247Sports.

As a junior, Lassiter rushed for over 1,100 yards and scored 19 total touchdowns. Latimer runs with excellent balance through contact and has good, but not elite speed.

Latimer is the fourth-best running back in Georgia. One of the backs he’s ranked behind is four-star Georgia commit Jae Lamar, who is the No. 120 recruit in the nation.

Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia are not satisfied with just one running back commitment in the 2026 cycle. The Dawgs are in the top four contenders for five-star running back Savion Hiter, who is slated to announce his commitment on Aug. 19. If Georgia is unable to land Hiter, then don’t be surprised if the Bulldogs make a strong push to flip Latimer.

Georgia has a lot of recruiting advantages over Wisconsin and won’t be afraid to use them to strengthen their No. 1 ranked recruiting class. Latimer’s recruitment battle could go all the way until December’s early signing period.
