Legacy OT Ty Johnson Commits to Georgia’s 2027 Class

Overview

• Johnson, a 6-foot-5, 300-pound tackle from Lucy Beckham High School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, announced his commitment on Saturday, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
• He is rated No. 42 offensive tackle and No. 471 overall in the 247Sports Composite for the 2027 cycle.
• Johnson chose Georgia over interest from programs including South Carolina, North Carolina, Duke, NC State and Nebraska, with some reports also listing Tennessee among suitors.
• The commitment underscores deep family ties: his father, Travis Johnson, played at Georgia in the 1990s and was a teammate and former roommate of head coach Kirby Smart, with links to offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.
• Georgia’s 2027 class now holds seven verbals and sits fourth nationally, with Johnson describing the decision as “pretty surreal” after receiving an offer following Junior Day and making a prior silent pledge.
