Georgia football will finish out the remainder of spring practice without rising senior running back Kendall Milton due to a hamstring injury, according to a report from 247Sports.
Milton is expected to contend for the starting running back role with rising senior Daijun Edwards and rising sophomore Branson Robinson.
The 6-foot-1, 220 pound tailback dealt with a similar injury that kept him out of two games during the 2022 season.
Milton was able to battle back from the injury and finished the year as the Bulldogs third leading rusher with 592 yards and eight touchdowns on 85 carries.
The Fresno, Cal., native’s 7.0 yards per carry average led all SEC running backs in 2022.
Milton’s setback opens the door for more spring opportunities for Edwards, Georgia’s second-leading rusher last season, Robinson and redshirt freshman Andrew Paul, who suffered an ACL tear in the 2022 preseason.
The Dawgs will take the field at the annual ‘G-Day’ spring game in Sanford Stadium on April 15.

Four-star offensive guard recruit Chauncey Gooden was pumped to receive a scholarship offer from the University of Georgia. Gooden, who is ranked as the No. 64 player in the class of 2025, is a state champion.
Gooden plays high school football for Lipscomb Academy High School in Nashville, Tennessee. The 6-foot-4, 320-pound offensive guard recruit is the third-best interior offensive lineman and the third-ranked recruit in Tennessee.
The four-star offensive lineman has spring visits planned with Auburn, Clemson, and South Carolina.
Each time Gooden receives a scholarship offer, he notes how blessed he is to receive the offer. Gooden uses excellent vocabulary for every offer, but the word he used after earning an offer from Georgia is not one you hear recruits use everyday.
Here’s how Gooden reacted to receiving a scholarship offer from Georgia football:
Georgia football extends scholarship offer to four-star offensive line recruit Jason Zandamela.
The Georgia Bulldogs have extended a scholarship offer to four-star offensive line recruit Jason Zandamela.
Jason Zandamela is presently favored to commit to the Florida State Seminoles, per 247Sports. The four-star interior offensive lineman plays high school football for Clearwater Academy International in Clearwater, Florida.
Zandamela is the No. 218 recruit in the class of 2024. The Clearwater native is the No. 13 interior offensive line prospect and the No. 36 player in Florida.
The 6-foot-3, 285-pound offensive lineman has a massive 6-foot-11 wingspan according to his Twitter. Zandamela plans to play in the 2024 Under Armour All-American Game.
Interestingly, Zandamela is a former rugby player who spent his youth in Mozambique before moving to the United States.
Zandamela was excited to receive an offer from the back-to-back national champions. He announced his offer from the University of Georgia via Twitter:
How much will former Clemson Tigers offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter make in Athens?
The Georgia Bulldogs hired former Clemson Tigers offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter as a quality control coordinator. Being in an analyst-type role for a school such as Georgia or Alabama includes some humbling work even for well-qualified college football coaches like Streeter.
The Tigers fired Streeter, a former Clemson quarterback, in January. Clemson owes Streeter a $1.85 million buyout. The Tigers will not have to pay all of the buyout, though, because it is reduced by what he earns in his new role, which is set to be $70,000 this year with Georgia.
Clemson averaged 33.1 points per game in Streeter’s lone year as offensive coordinator, which was ranked No. 24 in the country (only including games with Football Bowl Subdivision schools). Clemson’s offense improved in 2022, but it was not enough for the Tigers to make the College Football Playoff despite playing in a relatively weak ACC.
The Tigers were coming off a rough offensive season in 2021 during which they scored only 24.4 points per game (only including games with FBS schools). Streeter helped Clemson’s scoring offense improve from No. 85 to No. 24.
Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia have already found a replacement for Monken: Mike Bobo. Bobo, who was an analyst last season, served as Georgia’s offensive coordinator during the Mark Richt era.
Streeter brings substantial experience to Athens and is another example of a former top coach coming to Athens to serve in an analyst or quality control role.
Georgia continues to have an excellent coaching staff continuity. On the defensive side of the football, the Bulldogs retained rising coaching talent Glenn Schumann this offseason.
Streeter spent one season as Clemson’s offensive coordinator. The Tigers improved in 2022 compared to 2021, but threw for just 99 passing yards in a loss to South Carolina that ended its playoff hopes. Dabo Swinney and Clemson hired former TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley after the season.

Now, Streeter will look to gain knowledge at Georgia after spending a long time at Clemson. Streeter played at Clemson from 1997-1999. He served as recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach after returning to the Tigers in 2014.
Streeter, who is no stranger to quarterback position battles, coached talented quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence and D.J. Uiagalelei during his time at Clemson. D.J. Uiagalelei competed with Cade Klubnik for much of last season at Clemson.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound running back plays high school football for Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. Frazier holds recent scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Auburn, San Jose State, and Texas A&M. The Mater Dei standout visited Colorado in January.
Nate Frazier averaged 11.4 yards per carry last season. He only received 61 total carries, but he made the most of his touches. Frazier scored nine rushing touchdowns and racked up 791 rushing yards.
Kirby Smart and the Georgia football program are off to a strong start with the class of 2024. The Bulldogs have commitments from 10 recruits. One of Georgia’s commitments is four-star running back Dwight Phillips. However, Georgia is likely looking to sign a pair of backs in the 2024 cycle.

Former Georgia quarterback and current Washington Commander Jake Fromm is preparing for his fourth NFL season.
Fromm was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills and spent two seasons in Buffalo.

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to speedy, versatile linebacker recruit Chris Cole
The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to class of 2024 linebacker recruit Chris Cole. Georgia joins Maryland, Miami, and Penn State as recent schools to offer the three-star linebacker recruit.
Chris Cole plays high school football and runs track for Salem High School in Salem, Virginia. Cole is ranked as the No. 22 recruit in Virginia and the No. 817 prospect nationally.
Cole has excellent speed, but is undersized for a linebacker. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound linebacker will continue to add to his frame throughout his high school career.
The Salem linebacker set a school record in the 60-meter dash recently. Chris Cole has excellent speed and also plays safety and wide receiver at the high school level. Chris Cole is a good student.
On tape, Cole does a good job of driving on opposing ball carriers and is quick to diagnose plays. Cole is solid in coverage and shows excellent versatility. He could be a nickelback in college or a linebacker.
The talented class of 2024 prospect has recently visited Virginia and Georgia. He received an offer from the Bulldogs when he came to Athens.
The three-star linebacker announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via Twitter:
ICYMI: Two former Power Five offensive coordinators have joined Georgia’s staff
Georgia football filled voids on its offensive staff on Monday with the hiring of former Clemson offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter and former Texas A&M offensive coordinator Darrell Dickey.
Streeter, 46, played at Clemson from 1997-1999. He served as recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach after returning to the Tigers in 2014. He spent the 2022 season as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator and Clemson showed improvement, but hired former TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley after the season.
Dickey, 63, joined the Aggies’ staff in 2018 after Jimbo Fisher’s hiring as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. A&M finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference in total offense and scoring offense in 2018 and 2020.
Dickey moved to tight ends coach and Fisher took over play calling in 2022. After a disappointing season, Dickey was let go and the Aggies brought in Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator.
Streeter and Dickey’s addition fills the roles left by former offensive analysts Buster Faulkner, now at Georgia Tech, and Mike Bobo, now the offensive coordinator following the departure of Todd Monken to the Baltimore Ravens.
