Georgia football practice report: New names added to those battling injuries
ATHENS — As is always the case, no one is safe from Kirby Smart’s wrath on the microphone at practice. Even reporters who may be taking notes on the order in which wide receivers were going through a passing on air drill.
Smart leaned over to get a look at what the reporter was jotting down and loudly wished that said reporter would be more concerned with how the players were practicing, rather than the depth chart.
Smart’s barbs weren’t just reserved for the reporters though, as he voiced his frustrations about how players weren’t fully locked in. He bemoaned that they were playing College Football 25 too much and compared the players to “Tickle me Elmo’s” as well.
Tuesday was the sixth day of fall camp, with the Bulldogs in full pads. The media had 13 minutes to make observations, ranging from how players were doing in individual drills to, yes, what appeared to be the depth chart.
Below are some observations from the practice.
Georgia football practice report
- In the short viewing window, what may have been most noticeable was who was and was not practicing. Since last Thursday’s practice, defensive end/outside linebacker Gabe Harris has put on a black non-contact jersey. Freshman running back Nate Frazier and freshman wide receiver Sacoive White were wearing black non-contact jerseys as well. Chaz Chambliss was seen at practice but he was not working with the outside linebackers during the indy(individual drills) portion of practice. Jordan Hall and Warren Brinson were again working off to the side, but Smart told reporters last week that those two were recovering from injuries. Center Jared Wilson was with Harris, Hall and Brinson at the start of practice as well, away from their respective position groups for that portion of practice. Wilson was in a regular red jersey.
- Ellis Robinson was working with the cornerbacks, but he did have his right wrist in a wrap. He was working with the cornerbacks, with Daylen Everette and Julio Humphrey being the first two up in the respective drill that DawgNation saw.
- Will Muschamp was present at practice, as he was working with the safeties during the practice.
- In terms of drill work, Georgia had added some extra bodies to the outside linebacker group. Jalon Walker, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Justin Greene and Joseph Jonah-Ajonye were all receiving instruction from Chidera Uzo-Diribe during drill work. Mykel Williams was with the group as well. This isn’t uncommon for fall camp, as Smart often wants to cross-train players at different positions. Walker will still practice with the inside linebackers, while Ingram-Dawkins, Greene, Jonah-Ajonye and Williams will also rep with the defensive line as well. Uzo-Diribe did get on Jonah-Ajonye for some sloppy drill work.
- With Brinson limited due to his Achilles, it seems Christen Miller is getting the bulk of his reps, as he was working alongside Naz Stackhouse with the interior defensive linemen.
- At wide receiver, Cole Speer was back running with the wide receivers after dealing with a foot injury. Smart wanted freshman wide receiver Nitro Tuggle to do a better job of high-pointing the football, while wide receivers coach James Coley praised Anthony Evans for his route-running ability during a drill on air. The first-team wide receivers were still Dillon Bell, Arian Smith and Dominic Lovett.
- Smart did get on freshman tight end Jaden Reddell for always jumping when he went to catch a football during a drill. Stanford transfer Benjamin Yurosek was still working behind sophomore Lawson Luckie during the drills.
- Former Georgia tight end Pearce Spurlin was spotted at the practice. Spurlin had to medically retire in the spring due to a heart condition but has stayed around the program. He was spotted chatting with former Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran during the practice.
