Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Georgia State
NCAA Division I · Sun Belt · GA
Georgia State signed 11 athletes for 2025-26. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Georgia State is a 27,588-student public campus in Atlanta, GA and competes in the Sun Belt. Charnay Ryland leads a staff of 8 covering 4 event groups.
“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
