Social media reacts after nation’s No. 10 QB commits to Georgia
The Georgia Bulldogs added a big commitment from four-star quarterback recruit Colton Nussmeier, who is a member of the class of 2027. Nussmeier is the No. 10 quarterback prospect in his class and comes from an athletic family.
Nussmeier’s brother, Garrett, was LSU’s starting quarterback last season and his father, Doug, is the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. Nussmeier’s commitment came at the perfect time for Georgia’s recruiting class, which needed a bit of a boost.
Nussmeier plays high school football and basketball for Denton Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. He is expected to compete to be Georgia’s quarterback of the future after Gunner Stockton’s expected departure following the 2026 season.
Following Nussmeier’s commitment to Georgia, the Bulldogs and coach Kirby Smart have the No. 21 ranked recruiting class. Nussmeier is Georgia’s lone quarterback commitment in the class of 2027. The Dawgs have 13 total commitments including commitments from nine three-star prospects.

What channel is Georgia baseball vs Mississippi State today in Athens Super Regional?
Georgia baseball plays its first super regional series against an SEC opponent in 20 years this weekend.
The matchup against Mississippi State should raise the intensity level even more for postseason baseball. Even with an 11 a.m. start on Saturday June 5.
The teams will meet this weekend for the fifth and sixth time this season with a possible seventh game on Monday.
“It’s kind of crazy that we’re matched up in a super regional,” Georgia coach Wes Johnson said. “I feel like they should be somewhere else but that’s for me to determine. They’re a quality ballclub. …We came out and grinded out all of those games on the road.”
No. 3 seed Georgia (49-12) has won the first four games against No. 14 Mississippi State (43-17) including at the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala.
“It’s going to take somebody to get a big knockout punch…two-run home run, three-run home run, starters to rise up on the mound and hold them down,” Mississippi State coach Brian O’Connor said. “But I think we’re plenty equipped for that. We’ll see what happens. There’s been many examples where teams got swept during the year and they match up in a Super Regional or Omaha and that’s a totally different story.”
Georgia beat South Carolina two games to one in 2006 in Athens after also winning the first four games that season.

Georgia keeping preparation the same for super regional against Mississippi State
In 84-degree weather, with the sun beating down on Foley Field, shortstop Kolby Branch got chills.
“I go to bed at night thinking about how I can win a national championship, how we can win a national championship,” Branch said Friday, ahead of Georgia hosting Mississippi State for Game 1 of super regionals at 11 a.m. Saturday. “It’s only right that we get another SEC team coming here and duke it out. We’re excited. We love doing hard things, love doing difficult things, and this is another one of them.”
