Class of 2027 offensive line recruit Ty Johnson is following in his father’s footsteps by committing to Kirby Smart and Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnson, a soon-to-be senior at Lucky Beckham High School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, announced his commitment<\/a> to the Bulldogs on Saturday, On3 Sports’ Hayes Fawcett reported. The three-star recruit becomes Georgia’s seventh class of 2027 verbal commit.<\/p>\n

Johnson committed to Georgia over reported interest from South Carolina, North Carolina, Duke, NC State and Nebraska, among others. He is the 42nd-best offensive line recruit and rated No. 11 overall in South Carolina, according to 247 Sports.<\/p>\n

The local interest made Johnson’s recruiting interesting, but it was never much of a competition<\/a>. Johnson knew he would be playing college football at Georgia for nearly his entire life.<\/p>\n

Johnson is the son of former Georgia offensive lineman Travis Johnson, who played with head coach Smart and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo<\/a> in Athens. His father’s connection has made Ty Johnson a lifelong Bulldogs fan despite living on the East Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s pretty surreal,\u201d Johnson said, via 247 Sports. \u201cNow it’s started to sink in. It was pretty crazy. That’s a real surreal feeling. I mean, honestly, like you try to stay unbiased with this recruiting stuff, but to say that I wasn’t, I didn’t feel something special about committing to Georgia, that’s a lie. Just being able to say it out loud, I’m committing to Georgia, that kind of stuff is awesome. It’s pretty crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson is the third three-star recruit of Smart’s incoming 2027 class, joining running back Noah Parker and wide receiver Aden Starling. The Bulldogs also have a pair of four-star prospects arriving on campus in 2027 with offensive tackle Kelsey Adams and cornerback Jerry Outhouse Jr. The group is headlined by two five-star prospects, running back Kemon Spell and cornerback Donte Wright.<\/p>\n

Georgia already has the fourth-best 2027 recruiting class early in the process on 247 Sports. Their seven early commitments only rank behind Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ohio State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Class of 2027 offensive line recruit Ty Johnson is following in his father’s footsteps by committing to Kirby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":827156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[16074,7,802,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-827155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-college-football-recruiting","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-georgia-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116273067063442769","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
