Albany (Ga.) Westover three-star interior offensive lineman Kyson Mallard has decommitted from Georgia, he announced on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-5, 310-pounder had been pledged to the in-state Bulldogs since Sept. 27.

“Big thanks (Georgia) and (Kirby Smart) for the opportunity and I really appreciate it however after a lot of prayers and talking I have decide to decommit and reopen my recruitment,” Mallard wrote on X announcing his decision.
Mallard is the No. 439 overall prospect and No. 32 IOL in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 45 junior in the Peach State.
UGA landed Mallard’s pledge while he was on campus for a game visit. That pledge lasted less than four months, as the trench monster is now giving all of his options another look during the offseason. The likes of Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Florida State have also offered Mallard.
Mallard’s quick exit from the Georgia class leaves the SEC program with five 2027 commits. Mallard committed on the same day as Atlanta Langston Hughes four-star offensive tackle Kelsey Adams, the nation’s No. 52 recruit and No. 7 OT.
