Despite committing to the Florida Gators on June 2, Lithonia (Ga.) four-star offensive tackle Kennedee Jackson has had a change of heart and flipped his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. — Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) June 13, 2026Jackson is rated as the No. 73 overall player and the No. 9 offensive tackle in the 2027 class, according to Rivals. The Gators had initially beaten out several teams for Jackson's commitment after his official visit to Gainesville. Florida pushed all the right buttons during the trip, which helped get the recruitment over the finish line, or so they thought. Although he committed to the Gators, the in-state rivals never stopped pushing for the highly-ranked prospect. And, while many thought Jackson would axe his planned visit to Athens that weekend, he still made the trip to give Georgia one last chance to sway his mind. That visit clearly appears to have worked out well in the Bulldogs' favor. It is also a recruitment that Georgia needed to win, given that they missed out on several other offensive line prospects leading up to Jackson's commitment. Nonetheless, Florida's 2027 class still ranks inside the top five in the country, according to 247Sports. Additionally, even with Jackson's decommitment, the Gators' offensive line class is one of the best in the country. Coatesville (Pa.) Coatesville Area five-star offensive tackle Maxwell Hiller leads the group, ranking as the No. 2 overall prospect in 2027, according to 247Sports. Two other top-200 prospects in the trenches join Hiller as well. Anna (Texas) four-star interior offensive lineman Peyton Miller and Roanoke (Va.) Roanoke Catholic School four-star offensive tackle Elijah Hutcheson is committed to the Orange and Blue. The Gators are also in the running for Tupelo (Miss.) four-star interior offensive lineman Antonio Berry. They are battling multiple SEC schools for his pledge.
