Georgia football is trending in the right direction for one of the top junior college players in the country, defensive tackle Seven Cloud. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have been aggressive in their recruiting efforts, focusing not only on the transfer portal but also turning their attention to the 2026 recruiting class. However, in a rare move for Georgia, they’ve also set their sights on the JUCO ranks, and Cloud is at the center of that pursuit.
Cloud, who recently finished an outstanding season at Butler Community College, has been turning heads with his dominant play. The defensive tackle recorded 48 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in just 10 games. His performance has earned him recognition as one of the top JUCO prospects in the nation.
Now, Georgia has secured a spot in Cloud’s top 10 list of schools, signaling serious interest from the highly touted defensive lineman. The Bulldogs are known for their strong defensive play, and Cloud’s talent would fit seamlessly into their system. Though it’s not common for Georgia to recruit JUCO players, they have been known to pursue those who stand out with exceptional abilities. Cloud’s impressive stats have caught the attention of Smart and his staff, who are working hard to secure his commitment.
With Cloud’s skill set and Georgia’s need for impact players along the defensive line, this recruitment could become a key storyline in the upcoming months. If Georgia can land the JUCO star, he would bolster an already formidable defensive unit and provide Smart with another major asset for the future.
