The Georgia Bulldogs<\/a> have had success recruiting defensive backs, but they lost out on a four-star on Saturday. Four-star safety Nascar McCoy committed to the Ole Miss Rebels. McCoy chose Ole Miss over Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M<\/a>, and Michigan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McCoy is a four-star safety from the class of 2026, according to ESPN<\/a>. He stands at 6-foot-2, weighs 180 pounds, and plays football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia, similar to Georgia safety KJ Bolden.<\/a><\/p>\n

McCoy marks Ole Miss’ third defensive back commit from July, joining Iverson McCoy, a three-star cornerback, and Craig Tutt, a four-star safety. Overall, Ole Miss has the No. 19 recruiting class in the nation and No. 9 in the SEC.<\/p>\n

However, the Rebels’ recruiting class lags far behind the Georgia Bulldogs, especially in the secondary. Georgia’s class is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation and the SEC. In the secondary, Georgia currently has seven commits; four-stars Justice Fitzpatrick<\/a>, Caden Harris<\/a> (who flipped from Vanderbilt), Chace Calicut<\/a>, Zech Fort, and Jordan Smith, along with three-stars Kealan Jones and Tyriq Green.<\/p>\n

Overall, secondary coach Donte Williams is ranked as the No. 1 recruiter in the 247Sports database.<\/p>\n

Georgia misses out on McCoy, who is the No. 37 safety in the nation and the No. 49 prospect from Georgia.<\/p>\n
