Georgia transfer named as All-American

Former Georgia football offensive lineman, five-star recruit listed as second-team USA TODAY preseason All-American

Former Georgia Bulldogs center Clay Webb was named a second-team All-American by USA TODAY. Webb, who plays offensive guard for the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, is a former five-star recruit.

Webb joined the Georgia football program in 2019. He stuck with the Bulldogs for a few seasons before transferring after the 2021 season.

In 2022, Webb started in seven games for Jacksonville State. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound offensive guard showed significant improvement the following season. Webb’s 2023 season ended with him being named first-team Conference USA. He anchored a Gamecocks offensive line that set a Conference USA record of 522 rushing yards against Louisiana Tech.

Webb has a good chance to be selected in the 2025 NFL draft. He revitalized his career at Jacksonville State after not seeing much playing time at Georgia. The Bulldogs return a stacked offensive guard room that includes first-team All-American Tate Ratledge. However, Georgia could use Webb at center. Georgia’s projected starting center, Jared Wilson, is battling injuries ahead of the Bulldogs’ season opener.

Former Notre Dame All-American Julian Love through the years

Happy birthday to Notre Dame football great @julianlove27!

Current New York Giants defensive back Julian Love was one of the best defensive backs Notre Dame has ever had previous to becoming an NFL draft pick in 2019.  Love took home consensus All-American honors in 2018 and declared for the draft early after being a continual playmaker for the Fighting Irish for three seasons.

His interception return for a touchdown against Michigan State helped set the foundation for a year that saw a major turnaround at Notre Dame and he was as good of a defensive back as there was in all of college football his junior season.

Love celebrates his 24th birthday today as he’ll be entering his fourth season with the Giants this fall.  He’s one of three Notre Dame greats alongside Quenton Nelson and Rick Mirer, who are all celebrating birthdays today.

To celebrate Love, take a quick look back at a few of his best photos and moments at Notre Dame.

Notre Dame Football: Irish shut out from AP Preseason All-American Team

The AP announced their preseason All-American teams on Tuesday. See who made the first and second teams since no Notre Dame players did.

In a busy week for the Associated Press before college football kicks off in a few short weeks, the Preseason All-American Team was announced on Tuesday with no Notre Dame players being named to the squad.

The team is composed of players from teams who will both be playing and not being playing this fall.

11 players on the AP’s first-team and an additional 12 on the second team won’t see action this season which speaks to the volume of talent that won’t be viewed on college football fields this fall.
