Georgia Ann Udby
Georgia Ann (Langowski) Udby, age 65 of Lankin, ND passed away on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 at the First Care Health Center of Park River, ND.
Georgia was born on May 25, 1959, in Grafton, ND to Joseph and Emeline Langowski. Coming in as child 13 out of 14, she was the youngest and tallest girl in the family. This sweet, cheerful, and generous lady who loved to dance grew up in Grafton, ND.
During high school, Georgia participated in various athletics including volleyball where she received the “Most Desire” award. She graduated from Grafton High School as a Spoiler in 1977. She went on to further her education as NDSSS, Wahpeton, ND and then Thief River Falls College, where she achieved her RN Degree. She was so proud to become a nurse; it was a lifelong career accomplishment.
Her desire to care for others as an RN carried over to her personal life as well. Georgia was a super generous person; she took great joy in giving gifts and sending thoughtful cards to family and friends so everyone would be cherished. Georgia always stopped to talk and visit with anyone she recognized and enjoyed participating in Grafton class reunions. She loved to laugh, have fun and had a great sense of humor. Georgia looked forward to traveling to various farm conferences and conventions, such as the Norsk Host Fest and State Fair in Minot, ND, and the Pride of ND shows. She especially loved going to the North Dakota Farmers Convention where she could visit non-stop for four days with our Bismarck friends. She loved to knit and challenged herself to try some complex patterns.
Georgia met the man of her dreams during the summer of 2004. Scott literally swept her off her feet, they fell in love and married in June of 2005 and settled on the farm in Lankin, ND.
Everyone who knew Georgia knew how much she loved her family. She especially loved to visit with everyone about her only child, Erick, and all his accomplishments. Georgia deeply enjoyed spending time with her siblings, nieces and nephews at family gatherings throughout the years.
She was preceded in death by her son Erick Rhen, Thief River Falls, MN; her beloved dog Lucy; her parents Joseph and Emeline Langowski, Grafton, ND; siblings: John Langowski, Grafton, ND, Inny Praska, Seattle, WA, and Mark Langowski, Santa Rosa, CA; and Scott’s parents Glenn and Carol Udby, Lankin, ND.
She is survived by her husband Scott; siblings: Vicky (Jim) Bryn, Reno, NV, Joe (Janet) Langowski, Pacific, WA, Odo (Chris) Langowski, Peoria, AZ, Gontron “Buster” (Connie) Langowski, Hazen, ND, Ora (Henry) Meyer and Jeanne Quinn, Coeur d’Alene, ID, Lester Langowski and Mary (Wally) Sturdivant, Grafton, ND, Sylvia (Maurel) Mattson, West Fargo, ND, Veronica (Arlyn) Askim, Park River, ND; in-laws: Brian (Cynthia) Udby, Lankin, ND, Connie and Keith Glatt, Pahrump, NV, Ray Praska, Seattle, WA and Cathy Langowski, Santa Rosa, CA; along with several niece, nephews, great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews whom she loved.

Athlon Sports projected the best SEC games for each week of the 2026 regular season.
The conference features some of the most compelling matchups in all of college football, from opening weekend through rivalry week. The selections emphasize games anticipated to have the biggest impact on the SEC championship race and College Football Playoff picture.
Florida’s annual clash with Georgia was tabbed as one of the SEC’s premier fixtures. The game has grown in national significance since it began in 1904, continuing as a battle of blue-blood programs that routinely produces iconic results. The game temporarily moves to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta during the Jacksonville stadium renovations.
The Jon Sumrall era carries with it an increasing sense of belief — many experts see the Gators as a dark-horse CFB playoff contender. Regardless of its final win-loss record, UF will play a part in shaping the season’s narrative as they face several post-season favorites in Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma.
Noted in the article is the SEC’s depth and newly implemented nine-game conference schedule. Georgia, Texas, Alabama and LSU appear multiple times on this list, with Georgia facing Alabama in Week 6 and Ole Miss in Week 10 while LSU hosts Clemson in Week 1 and will see Texas in Week 11 take on Alabama.
Many contenders from the SEC face multiple nationally relevant foes over the course of the season.

- Week 1: Clemson at LSU (Sept. 5)
- Week 2: Ohio State at Texas (Sept. 12)
- Week 3: LSU at Ole Miss (Sept. 19)
- Week 4: Oklahoma at Georgia (Sept. 26)
- Week 5: Auburn at Tennessee (Oct. 3)

The Georgia Bulldogs are expected to have one of the country’s best defenses again in 2026. Georgia has a lot of continuity from the 2025 defense and should be able to dominate many of their opponents this fall.
The Bulldogs defense will be led by potential All-American defensive backs KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson. Georgia appears to be set at inside linebacker with the likes of Raylen Wilson, Chris Cole, Justin Williams and Zayden Walker forming a formidable group.
Georgia’s defense is not without questions. The Bulldogs need defensive tackle Elijah Griffin to play like a star as a sophomore. Georgia has to get more pass rush production. UGA managed only 20 sacks a year ago and their top defensive transfer addition, Amaris Williams of Auburn, is expected to be out for the season. Georgia fans can all remember Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss running circles around the Georgia defense in crucial moments of the Sugar Bowl.
Outside of the pass rush, Georgia’s depth at outside cornerback is probably the Bulldogs’ second-biggest weakness. If Ellis Robinson gets hurt, then Georgia could be in trouble. Despite these concerns, Georgia’s defense should overwhelm weaker SEC opponents this fall.
Nose tackle
- Jordan Hall
- Xzavier McLeod
- Nnamdi Ogboko
Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Hall is a former five-star recruit with a significant injury history. His snaps will probably be limited at times this fall. Xzavier McLeod has improved in each of his two seasons at Georgia and should be one of Georgia’s top depth options in the defensive line rotation. Nasir Johnson is another big body to know up front at nose tackle.
Defensive tackle
- Elijah Griffin
- Josh Horton
- Nasir Johnson/London Seymour/Valdin Sone
Five-star defensive lineman Elijah Griffin is entering his second season and is looking to have a big year after making an impact as a true freshman. Josh Horton has plenty of experience, but Bulldog fans would like to see a bit more production. Another defensive lineman to know is freshman Valdin Sone, who is a five-star recruit.
Defensive end
- Gabe Harris
- Joseph Jonah-Ajonye
- Justin Greene/JJ Hanne
Gabe Harris has the size to play both defensive end and outside linebacker. Georgia needs him as a pass rusher. He missed the Bulldogs’ Sugar Bowl loss and spring practice due to a turf toe injury. Joseph Jonah-Ajonye is a former elite recruit.
Outside linebacker
- Quintavius Johnson
- Chase Linton/Isaiah Gibson
- Darren Ikinnagbon/Khamari Brooks/PJ Dean
Quintavius Johnson is expected to start after a promising 2025 season. Gabe Harris and Chris Cole will also see action at outside linebacker. One of these second-year players needs to step up: Isaiah Gibson, Chase Linton and/or Darren Ikinnagbon. All have a lot of talent and are in for bigger roles after Auburn transfer Amaris Williams suffered an ACL injury in the spring. Freshmen Khamari Brooks and PJ Dean were both four-star signees.
Inside linebacker
- Raylen Wilson
- Chris Cole
- Justin Williams
- Zayden Walker
Once again, Georgia and coach Glenn Schumann have a stacked inside linebackers room. The Bulldogs will start two inside linebackers, but their backups will all play key roles. Chris Cole led UGA in sacks during the 2025 season. Cole and Zayden Walker are important pieces in Georgia’s pass rush. Raylen Wilson (knee) and Walker (shoulder) both missed the spring.
Georgia freshmen Nick Abrams has a lot of talent and veteran Terrell Foster is reliable, but they’re expected to be buried on Georgia’s depth chart along with redshirt freshman AJ Kruah.
Outside cornerback
- Ellis Robinson IV
- Demello Jones
- Braylon Conley/Gentry Williams
- Jontae Gilbert/Caden Harris/Justice Fitzpatrick
Georgia’s outside cornerback room is led by Ellis Robinson, who should be an All-SEC pick. The spot opposite Robinson should go to Demello Jones, but don’t rule out experience transfers Braylon Conley (USC) and Gentry Williams (Oklahoma). There is some concern about Georgia’s outside cornerback depth this season. Jontae Gilbert, Caden Harris and Justice Fitzpatrick all have talent, but Fitzpatrick did suffer a torn ACL in December.
Slot cornerback
- Khalil Barnes
- Rasean Dinkins
- Zech Fort
Rasean Dinkins did well in the SEC championship against Alabama, but not as strong in the Sugar Bowl. Clemson transfer Khalil Barnes is projected to start over him with Tyrique Green being another name to watch at star.
Free safety
- KJ Bolden
- Tyrique Green
- Jaylan Morgan/Jordan Smith
Georgia junior KJ Bolden should be an All-SEC pick. Four-star signee Tyrique Green is going to find a way on to the field this season.
Strong safety
- Rasean Dinkins
- Zion Branch/Ja’Marley Riddle/Kyron Jones
- Todd Robinson/Blake Stewart
Dinkins and Barnes will both likely start for UGA. Zion Branch, Ja’Marley Riddle and Kyron Jones should all see snaps with Jones’ health being a question.
