Georgia football recruiting: An already mammoth UGA scavenger hunt weekend visitor list now includes 5-star OT David Sanders
This Sentell’s Intel rep on Georgia football recruiting breaks down the names that DawgNation has been able to confirm will be in Athens this weekend for the annual scavenger hunt that has developed into a major official visit weekend.
It is a [May] Georgia football recruiting tradition like no other. But it has suddenly morphed into something bigger than we’ve seen up to this point.
Georgia is set to host its biggest slate of official visitors ever for the annual scavenger hunt weekend that takes place every May. DawgNation has been able to confirm the names of four official visitors set for this weekend.
The annual scavenger hunt across the UGA campus hosts has featured pictures (and a subsequent obscure NCAA rule change) with live snakes and an at-times cutthroat competition to win the scavenger hunt that has included pilfered golf cart keys and selfie quests in the past.
Yet it now has another major 5-star visitor added to the guest list.
5-star OT David Sanders Jr. will be in Athens for the first time since a spring practice visit to check out the Bulldogs. DawgNation was able to confirm the news of the planned visit early this evening with a family source, but Steve Wiltfong on On3.com was the first with that news.
Every visit these days from Sanders is big. DawgNation has ranked the 5-star from Charlotte as the No. 1 “top target” on its weekly “Before the Hedges” listing of top prospects since the debut of the 2025 list back in November of 2023.
Sanders now ranks as the nation’s No. 1 OT prospect and the No. 2 overall recruit for the 2025 cycle on the 247Sports Composite scale. The On3 “Industry Ranking”
The Providence Day star won’t be the only 5-star in attendance over the weekend. 5-star 2026 QB commit Jared Curtis is expected to come down from Nashville for all the fun.
The expected guest list now also includes 5-star LB Zayden Walker, 5-star S Trey McNutt and also a key flip target in 4-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson out of Warner Robins. Gibson is currently committed to USC.
Lest we forget, the other major visits of the weekend will be the 48 hours of official visit time with the following prospects:
- 4-star RB Bo Jackson
- 4-star WR Marcus Harris
- 4-star WR Phillip Bell
- 4-star OL Ziyare Addison
Check out the list of names DawgNation has been able to confirm this week.
| Name | Hometown | Ranking | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-star David Sanders, Jr. | Charlotte, NC | No. 1 OT/ No. 2 | decided |
| 5-star Jared Curtis (2026) | Nashville, TN | No. 1 QB/ No. 8 | UGA commit |
| 5-star Zayden Walker | Ellaville, GA | No. 2 LB/ No. 21 | Undecided |
| 5-star Trey McNutt | Shaker Heights, OH | No. 1 S/ No. 24 | Undecided |
| 4-star Isaiah Gibson | Warner Robins, GA | No. 5 EDGE/ No. 56 | USC commit |
| 4-star TJ Alford | Fort Pierce, FL | No. 7 LB/ No. 62 | Ohio State commit |
| 4-star Bo Jackson (OV) | Cleveland, OH | No. 5 LB/ No. 71 | Undecided |
| 4-star Christian Garrett | Bogart, GA | No. 16 DL/ No. 133 | Undecided |
| 4-star Marcus Harris (OV) | Eastvale, CA | No. 15 WR/ No. 140 | Undecided |
| 4-star Phillip Bell (OV) | Los Angeles, CA | No. 16 WR/ No. 149 | Undecided |
| 4-star Mason Short | Evans, GA | No. 8 IOL/ No. 169 | UGA commit |
| 4-star Ziyare Addison (OV) | Riverview, FL | No. 22 OT/ No. 211 | Undecided |
There will undoubtedly be a few more names added to this early list. There should be a few big 2026 names that will join Curtis this weekend to start building that class.
Garrett made the list above and it sounds like the 4-star Prince Avenue DL target will make the trip, but a final decision has not been made yet.
These plans are, as always, also subject to change.
DawgNation will continue to update this list as the RSVPs roll in for the week.

No. 6 Ole Miss (11-1, 7-1 SEC) will host the Tulane Green Wave at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium next Saturday in what will be the Rebels’ College Football Playoff debut.
After a historic 2025 campaign for the program in Oxford, Pete Golding and Co. will have home-field advantage in the first-round of the College Football Playoff against a fiery Tulane squad.
“I think this is something that this program is going to be the expectation moving forward. That’s something that I’m used to,” head coach Pete Golding said.
“That’s something when you invest a lot into programs and you’re aligned from the top down, from the chancellor to the athletic director to the head football coach to a really good growth collective led by Walker Jones and your elite, really good players, this should be the norm.”
With all eyes on the first-round showdown, the winner of the Dec. 20 matchup will hit the road to New Orleans (La.) to take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl at the Caesars SuperDome the following weekend.
Which way does ESPN see the first-round matchup going? Who will take on the Georgia Bulldogs on Dec. 27?

When Georgia basketball took the court Saturday afternoon at State Farm Arena, it resembled a team who had not faced another opponent in 11 days.
The Bulldogs came out lackadaisical with more turnovers than successful shots in the game’s first two minutes and faced an 11-point deficit before halftime.

Georgia offensive lineman Dontrell Glover and running back Bo Walker were arrested for shoplifting at a Walmart on Friday, less than a week after the Bulldogs won the SEC Championship.
According to the Athens Banner-Herald, the freshmen were booked into Clarke County jail in Athens on two counts of misdemeanor shoplifting. Glover and Walker were arrested Friday evening and released on $1,526 bond before 8 p.m.
“We were informed of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information,” Georgia spokesman Steve Drummond said in a statement. “This is a pending legal matter and we will not have further comment at this time.”
Walker played six games this season and rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns. Glover started 11 games in 2025 and was named to the All-SEC freshman team.

Last month, offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was dismissed from the team by head coach Kirby Smart after he was arrested on more than a dozen criminal charges after he allegedly tried to flee from police north of Athens.
The Bulldogs beat Alabama last Saturday in the SEC title game and earned a place in the College Football Playoff. They will play again on Jan. 1 against the winner of Ole Miss-Tulane in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
