Georgia football offers 5-star Texas QB commit

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to five-star Texas Longhorns quarterback commitment Dia Bell.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound quarterback plays high school football for American Heritage in Plantation, Florida. Bell is ranked as the No. 13 recruit in the class of 2026 and is the top ranked recruit in Florida, per On3. Bell is the fourth-ranked quarterback in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Dia Bell is the son of former 12-year NBA player Raja Bell.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have been heavily recruiting five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, who was previously committed to Georgia. However, UGA is not going to count on Curtis committing to UGA, so the Bulldogs are still looking to land an elite quarterback in the class of 2026.

Bell has been committed to the Texas Longhorns since June 2024. Georgia is trying to flip Bell. Kirby Smart, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and wide receivers coach James Coley are the main ones recruiting the five-star quarterback. Georgia recently landed a pair of five-star recruits from American Heritage in Marvin Jones Jr., who is now with Oklahoma, and Tyson Campbell, who plays in the NFL for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
