Georgia football is hosting its annual spring game from Sanford Stadium right now on the ESPN app.
The Black team took off early and got on the board first with a Kendall Milton rushing touchdown and senior running back Zamir White just took his turn in the end zone with a two-yard run to tie the game up 7-7 in the second quarter.
A few notable players to watch are freshman quarterback Carson Beck, freshman tight end Brock Bowers and freshman cornerback Kelee Ringo. All have looked particularly good today.
Check out this huge catch and run from Georgia tight end Darnell Washington.
Georgia football is live right now on the ESPN app for its annual spring football game. Several Dawgs have made some great plays already, but this catch by tight end Darnell Washington takes the cake.
Washington is six-foot-7, 285 pounds and can flat run. It” like having an offensive lineman for a receiver. If offensive coordinator Todd Monken and quarterback J.T. Daniels can get the ball to him, SEC defenders may wind up on the ground.

Georgia football is hosting its annual spring game right now in Sanford Stadium. It may be the first game of 2021, but redshirt sophomore running back Kendall Milton is looking strong. Check out Milton’s eight yard touchdown run that put the black team ahead in the first quarter.
As a Mountaineer last season, Smith (5’11, 198) was a finalist for the 2020 Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s top defensive back. He was the 2nd highest graded defensive back in the country (85.3), according to Pro Football Focus.
The junior racked up 61 tackles, 2 interceptions and added 5 passes defended, while helping West Virginia’s defense to the No. 1 passing defense in the country in 2020 (159.6 ypg), in a pass-heavy Big 12 conference nonetheless.
Here’s Smith’s sophomore highlight tape:

Looks like the Dawgs just got another baller in the secondary.

Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports that the Indianapolis Colts are interested in resigning former Georgia linebacker Justin Houston.
Former Georgia linebacker Justin Houston is one of the top remaining NFL free agents. After spending eight years with the Kansas City Chiefs, earning his way to four Pro Bowl selections and two First-Team All-Pro selections, Houston signed a two-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts in 2018.
Houston appeared in 16 games and recorded 8.0 sacks last season, good enough to rank No. 21 among sack leaders.
According to The Athletic’s Stephen Holder, the Colts are still interested in bringing the 10-year veteran back to Indianapolis in 2021.
“The big question for Houston is what he has left at this point after 10 years in the league. He doesn’t have the same burst and power that made him the fifth-best pass-rushing edge defender in the NFL during the last decade, and he finished 2020 with the lowest pass-rush grade of his career. Houston still flashes his ability, as he can get offensive tackles off-balanced with his length and good technique, but the days of accumulating 50-plus pressures in a season appear to be in the past. Even in the run game, Houston took a step back in 2020. On the other hand, Houston is just one year removed from an 87.1 overall grade while playing just over 40 plays per game, and he may have something to offer in a rotational role.”
Houston was an absolute problem for SEC offenses while at Georgia. As a junior in 2010, Houston led all linebackers in sacks with 10 and was named First-Team All-American and First Team All-SEC.

McKitty is ranked as Kiper’s No. 6 tight end. McKitty transferred to Georgia from Florida State for his senior season and battled through injuries at the top of the season. He did start the last seven games and caught six passes for 108 yards and a touchdown.

Cleveland is Kiper’s eight ranked guard. The Toccoa, Ga., native was named 2020 All-SEC first-team by the league coaches and earned second-team All-American honors from the Athletic. Cleveland had a strong showing at Georgia’s pro day where he ran an unofficial 4.85 forty yard dash and bench pressed 225 pounds 30 times.

Hill is rated as the No. 7 center on Kiper’s board. Hill was an anchor on Georgia’s line the last two seasons. He was voted as 2020 preseason All-SEC before battling injuries throughout the season. He missed Georgia’s Peach Bowl win over Cincinnati recovering from knee surgeries. He looks to have made a full recovery and participated in Georgia’s pro day.

Ojulari is the highest rated Dawg on Kiper’s board, coming in at No. 3 among outside linebackers. Ojulari is projected as a first round pick and for good reason. He was a semi finalist for the Chuck Bedarik Award, given to the nation’s best defensive player and was rated as one of the best pass rushers in the nation, according to Pro Football Focus.Â

Campbell is rated as the No. 5 cornerback on Kiper’s board. Campbell had a strong showing at Georgia’s pro day, clocking an unofficial 4.37 in the forty yard dash. Campbell was a lockdown corner for the Bulldogs the last two seasons and led the team with 5 pass break ups in 2020.

Kiper has LeCounte rated as the No. 10 corner in the draft. Even though LeCounte’s production as a Dawg was incredible, draft scouts don’t relate that to an NFL field. At Georgia, LeCounte had 8 interceptions over his last 21 games and piled up 176 career tackles. His injury in a motorcycle accident last season kept LeCounte out of the spotlight.

Check out which Georgia Bulldogs are selected in this recent NFL mock draft from Draft Wire.
Georgia football has 11 players participating in the 2021 NFL Draft. A few are projected as first round picks.
USA TODAY’s Draft Wire recently released a two-round NFL mock draft, which, no surprise here, features two former Dawgs.
Projected to land with the Miami Dolphins at pick No. 18 is Azeez Ojulari. The edge defender is one of the highest-graded pass rushers in this year’s draft.

Ojulari recorded three sacks and a forced fumble in the Bulldogs 24-21 win over Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl, earning him defensive MVP honors. He followed up with an impressive showing at Georgia’s pro day March 17.
Projected to land with the New York Jets at pick No. 23 (via the Seattle Seahawks) is Eric Stokes. The cornerback has had an impressive offseason preparing for the draft. He ran a 4.25 forty yard dash at former NFL receiver Brandon Marshall’s combine event and then ran 4.29 at UGA’s pro day.

Stokes was a lockdown defender at Georgia, earning All-American honors in his final season with the Bulldogs. He led the SEC in interceptions in 2020 (4) and returned two for touchdowns.
