Four-star defensive lineman PJ Dean announced that he will make his college decision on Monday, June 30 and choose among Ohio State, Georgia, and South Carolina, according to Hayes Fawcett. Dean is a four-star defensive lineman from the class of 2026. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive lineman plays football for West Forsyth High School in Clemmons, North Carolina.

Advertisement Dean has no more scheduled official visits, but visited South Carolina on May 30, Georgia on June 6, and Ohio State on June 13, so all that's left for him is to announce his commitment at West Forsyth High School. If Dean commits to Georgia, then he will add to the immense defensive line talent in Georgia's class of 2026. Dean would be joined by three-star JUCO recruit Seven Cloud and three-star Norcross recruit Carter Luckie in the defensive tackle room. New four-star edge rusher commit Khamari Brooks and three-star edge rusher Corey Howard could line up alongside him. Dean would be Georgia's highest ranked defensive line commitment.
