UGASports – Last few Georgia players closing in on decisions

Georgia coaches are starting to better understand what Bulldogs will forgo their final year of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft.

Thus far, eight players who could have returned have elected not to do so. That list includes Amarius Mims, Ladd McConkey, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, Sedrick Van Pran, Javon Bullard, Kamari Lassiter, Tykee Smith, and Zion Logue.

Of course, one huge name that remains out there is tight end Brock Bowers. Projected as a Top-10 pick in the NFL Draft, the junior is expected to announce at any time.

Others still could as well.

After Georgia’s Orange Bowl 63-3 rout over Florida State, right guard Tate Ratledge told UGASports that he has yet to think about it.

Two other teams to watch include defensive linemen Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse. Brinson was not found in the open locker room scum, but Stackhouse did agree to speak and said he’ll have a decision coming soon.

“I’ll know by the third (Jan. 3); I’ve got to talk it over with my coaches, my mom, people like that,” Stackhouse said. “I haven’t been thinking about it, for real. I’ve just been thinking about the Orange Bowl, soaking in the time with my teammates.”

Should Stackhouse and Brinson return, it would be a boost to a defensive line,

Georgia did receive some good news when sophomore Mykel Williams announced he would be returning and not entering the portal as had been rumored.

Currently, the Bulldogs have taken in five transfers, a list that includes running back Trevor Etienne (Florida), wide receiver London Humphrey (Vanderbilt), defensive lineman Xzavier McLeod (South Carolina), wide receiver Colbie Young (Miami), and walk-on long-snapper Beau Gardner (UCLA).

Meanwhile, on Tuesday night at midnight, the 30-day window for the December transfer portal officially closes.

A second, shorter window will open on April 15 and run through April 30.

Any SEC football player who enters the portal during the April 15-30 window cannot make an intraconference transfer and be eligible for the upcoming fall. To play in the 2024 season they would need to transfer out of the SEC.

The lone exceptions are grad transfers, who can enter the portal and sign with any team anytime.

For those keeping track, Georgia currently has 21 players who entered the transfer portal, 16 of whom have already signed with other teams.

Of the 16, quarterback Brock Vandagriff (Kentucky), linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson (Kentucky), Xavian Sorey (Arkansas), Jared Zirkel (Texas A&M), and Darris Smith (Missouri) have signed with SEC teams.

Zirkel actually played in the Orange Bowl for Georgia, despite being in the portal.

Although Bowers and Mims did not play due to injury, they were in attendance cheering Georgia’s seniors to a school-record 50th win.

“It’s the family connection and the fight. Most guys don’t just come back for themselves, they want to come back and play for the guys next to them, things of that nature,” Stackhouse said. “Playing for a system like Georgia and the players that are here, it’s a blessing and the guys who play alongside you is a blessing and an honor, plus knowing you can trust the guy next to you, it just makes you play harder so coming back is made easier for a lot of guys.

Coaches Poll Top 25 sees Georgia football keep its ranking heading into rivalry week

Coaches Poll Top 25 sees Georgia football keep its ranking heading into rivalry week

ATHENS — To little surprise, Georgia picked up an easy win over Charlotte on Saturday.

The 35-3 win ensured Georgia would remain as the No. 4-ranked team in the Coaches Poll Top 25 heading into Week 14.

Georgia’s opponent heading into the final week of the season did not enjoy a stress-free Saturday, with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets falling 42-28 at home to Pitt.

The loss dropped Georgia Tech from No. 12 to No. 19 in the Coaches Poll rankings. The Yellow Jackets also saw their ACC championship game hopes take a serious hit. A win would’ve clinched a spot in the conference title game.

Now, Georgia Tech has to try and get off the mat with Georgia rolling into Atlanta.

The game won’t be played at home for Georgia Tech, with the game moving to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It will be a short week for both teams, with the game being played on Black Friday once again.

Last year’s contest was played in Athens and saw the Yellow Jackets jump out to a 17-0 lead. Georgia rallied to win in eight overtimes, 44-42.

Prior to yesterday’s loss, Georgia coach Kirby Smart made it known Georgia expects to get Georgia Tech’s best shot and then some this coming week.

“It’s the same amount of time they have, we have,” Smart said. “So I don’t know that it’s an advantage. The advantage, I guess you’re asking about, is you did it before, so repeating the process. But it’s a little different this time for us in terms of timing and everything because we’ve got to go on the road this time.”

Georgia will be fully occupied with trying to take down Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs do still have a chance to play back-to-back games in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as Georgia is still alive to play in the SEC championship game.

Georgia’s chances of making it to the game did take a hit on Saturday with Vanderbilt beating Kentucky. The only scenarios in which Georgia can get to Atlanta involve either Texas A&M losing to Texas or Alabama losing to Auburn. Both of those games will be played after Georgia concludes its game against Georgia Tech.

Friday’s game is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET game on ABC.

No. 4 Georgia dominates Charlotte behind Bo Walker’s breakout performance

No. 4 Georgia dominates Charlotte behind Bo Walker’s breakout performance

ATHENS, Ga. – Freshman Bo Walker ran for his first three career touchdowns, Nate Frazier added two scoring runs, and No. 4 Georgia cruised to a 35-3 victory over underdog Charlotte on Saturday, strengthening its position in the College Football Playoff race.

What we know:

Georgia (10-1) entered the game looking to protect its No. 4 CFP ranking and secure a first-round playoff bye. The Bulldogs overwhelmed Charlotte (1-10) for their seventh straight win, while the 49ers dropped their eighth consecutive game.

One week after Gunner Stockton threw four touchdown passes and ran for another in a 35-10 win over then-No. 10 Texas, the Bulldogs leaned heavily on their ground game, rushing for 192 yards and outgaining Charlotte 449-169.

Senior running back Cash Jones made his first start in his final home regular-season game, but Georgia’s offense found more rhythm with Frazier and Walker leading the rushing attack.

Frazier scored on runs of 2 and 7 yards in the first quarter. Walker followed with touchdown runs of 15 and 12 yards in the second quarter to extend the lead to 28-0.

Walker capped his breakout day with a 3-yard touchdown on Georgia’s first drive of the second half, set up by Stockton’s completions of 11 and 38 yards to Noah Thomas.

Georgia maintained focus despite a sparse crowd at Sanford Stadium, scoring the first 28 points and never being threatened. The convincing win should solidify the Bulldogs’ standing in both the AP Top 25 and CFP rankings.

Dig deeper:

Stockton, a fourth-year junior, participated in Georgia’s Senior Day ceremony, possibly signaling his intention to enter the NFL draft — though some fourth-year players take part and still return for another season.

What’s next:

Georgia will face No. 15 Georgia Tech on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
