The Georgia Bulldogs were predicted to land a 5-star offensive weapon with unreal mismatch upside against an elite offer list

If Georgia can land Dollar, it would be a tremendous addition to its 2027 recruiting class. Notre Dame was also considered to be the leader for a large portion of this recruitment, and any time you beat head coach Marcus Freeman and Co. for a talented tight end, it is a notable feat.

Jaxon Dollar's recruiting background

Dollar is considered to be a top-100 overall player by multiple of the major recruiting platforms. On the 247 Sports Composite ranking, Dollar currently ranks as a five-star, the No. 33 overall player, the No. 2 tight end, and the No. 2 player from the state of North Carolina for the 2027 recruiting class. That is a state that is more and more regularly putting out high-level talent, and teams like Georgia have been taking notice.

If Georgia can close on Dollar, they would be doing so against an extremely impressive offer list. Some of the top programs that have offered Dollar include the Bulldogs, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Penn State, Florida, Florida State, Texas A&M, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina, Missouri, NC State, UNC, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Arkansas, Boston College, Cincinnati, and Purdue, among others.

As a junior, Dollar was a dynamic pass game weapon for East Lincoln. The 6-5, 222-pound managed to haul in 54 receptions for 1,190 yards and 20 touchdowns in 12 games. That is an average of 22 yards per reception, an absurd number for a tight end at his size. On top of completing a 63-yard pass, Dollar has also recorded 38 total tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a blocked kick on defense.
