This Sentell’s Intel rep on Georgia football recruiting has the latest with 4-star CB commimtent Jontavius Wyman. He ranks as the nation’s No. 11 CB and the No. 119 overall prospect for 2026 on the 247Sports Composite. The On3 Industry Ranking has him as the No. 14 CB and at No. 154 overall.

Jontavius Wyman has been committed to Georgia for six months now. That’s longer than 11 members of the 2025 class had been committed before they signed with the Bulldogs back in December during the early period.

He chose UGA early because it just felt right. It had that “home” feeling from an early point. While he’s going to listen to and visit other schools, he says the “crib” is still in Athens.

Wyman was a part of the big “Junior Day” event over the weekend that went approximately 25 prosepcts deep. It was an intimate event designed to show Georgia’s elite targets just who the priorities were. That allowed for more 1-on-1 time with the staff.

Prior to an event like that, the bulk of their time with the coaches at UGA had been brisk visits at games or camps. Now that the 2026 cycle is the next class up, the UGA staff slows down those visits for all of its top targets.

With Wyman, they want the playmaking CB to be a leader for the class. It is a natural choice at this time given that there are only four commitments at this time and he’s the only one of those in Georgia.

“The Junior Day was great,” Wyman said. “They want me to go get the best of the best.”

Miami and South Carolina are still talking to Wyman, among others. It means the Dawgs have to still treat Wyman like he’s an undecided recruit in this day and age.

“They are treating me like a top priority to them still,” he said.

That said, the group text message thread for the nation’s top 2026 prosepcts has been active for years now. It has allowed Wyman to get a good read on who he’d like play with at UGA for the next cycle.

“I want to get Nassir McCoy, Tyriq Green, Ryan Mosely, Jared Curtis, Kaiden Protho and Savion Hiter,” he said. “I’m coming to get them.”

Well, there was one other name to add to his list.

“And Tyler,” Wyman said.

That was 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson. Nobody will forget that name in this class. Here’s a quick breakdown of all those names.

If the Dawgs can get those names, what would that mean to the program?

“It would mean a lot,” he said. “I want to play with the best of the best. So why not bring in the best? Let’s continue the tradition and bring a ‘Natty’ home.”

Wyman can fill a lot of roles on a football team. He played the Travis Hunter role expertly this past season at Jonesboro High. That meant being a lockdown corner and an electric offensive weapon that kept opponents nervous by lining up as a gamebreaker returning punts and kicks.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound rising senior had a fantastic junior season. Even for a top 125 overall recruit already committed to UGA.

There hasn’t been five cornebacks to signed with UGA during the Kirby Smart era that had the sort of junior season that Wyman just had for his Cardinals.

Not in all three phases of the game.

Wyman was also a team leader in every sense of the word. Whether it was the story his coaches told me about a pregame meal before a big game at Olive Garden. Wyman was the one that had everyone gathered around the same table watching the film of that week’s opponents.

When the buses got to the opponent’s stadium, he’d be out early. Very early. He’s got through a circuit of routes and drills specific to playing both cornerback and wide receiver. He’d do that about an hour before his group would be called for the real pregame workouts.

It didn’t matter the conditions. He was out there way early prior to the Blessed Trinity game the same way he’d get that work in before every game. That’s when the temperature hovered in the low 30s.

“I do it every week,” Wyman said. “Just get the feel of the atmosphere and where I’m playing at.”

That’s his ritual. He’s out early. Working.

“Make sure I pray,” he said. “Stretch. Go over technique and all that type of stuff.”
