Former Alabama commit Dontrell Glover includes UGA among final schools

Georgia is in the running for former Alabama commit Dontrell Glover.

Georgia is in the running for four-star offensive lineman Dontrell Glover out of Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Georgia. The 2025 prospect recently included the Bulldogs among his top nine schools, per a report from On3’s Chad Simmons.

Glover (6 feet, 3 1/2 inches, 310 pounds) fits the mold of the large offensive lineman Kirby Smart and staff look for. Glover is the No. 9 interior offensive lineman, the No. 27 player in the state and the No. 193 player overall in his class, per 247Sports composite.

Glover was previously committed to Alabama before Nick Saban’s retirement and Kalen DeBoer’s move to Tuscaloosa. The Tide didn’t make the cut for Glover’s final nine.

Glover plans to choose among Georgia, Auburn, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida State, Miami and Georgia Tech.

I expect UGA’s recruiting pitch to Glover is a simple one. Few programs can point to the level of development Georgia can when it comes to offensive lineman. The Bulldogs’ success at the position in the NFL draft seemingly shows itself each year.

The Bulldogs have sent 11 offensive lineman to the NFL under Smart. UGA is expected to have two more offensive lineman taken in this year’s draft, including tackle Amarius Mims and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger.

Top 2025 RB Akylin Dear includes Georgia among top schools

Akylin Dear, the nation’s No. 4 RB, has Georgia among his top-12 schools…

Georgia football is in the running for one of the nation’s top running back prospects in the 2025 class, four-star tailback Akylin Dear. The Quitman High School (Miss.) prospect announced his top-12 schools on Thursday with UGA on the list.

Dear (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) is rated as the No. 4 tailback, the No. 3 player in the state of Mississippi and the No. 68 overall prospect in his class, per 247Sports Composite.

Dear will choose from among Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas, Texas A&M, Miami, Florida State and Ohio State when the time comes.

On3’s Hayes Fawcett shared Dear’s list in a tweet on Thursday:

247Sports’ David Johnson currently projects Dear to stay in-state and sign with Ole Miss. It will be up to Kirby Smart and new running backs coach Josh Crawford to try and persuade Dear to Athens.

 

2024 NFL combine: Georgia DB Javon Bullard explains what he can bring to an NFL team

“Versatility”, Javon Bullard on what he brings to the NFL…

The 2024 NFL combine is now underway in Indianapolis as the nation’s top NFL draft prospects preform in front of league personnel. This is the first chance for 2024 NFL draft prospects to prove they should garner a high pick.

Beyond the on-field drills, players also have opportunities to interview with potential teams and speak with attending media members. Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard was among the Bulldogs to do so on Thursday.

Bullard was a force to be reckoned with in over the last two seasons in a talent Georgia secondary. In 2022’s national championship season, he earned Defensive MVP honors in both the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Peach Bowl and the national championship game.

Bullard was named second-team All-SEC in 2023 after racking up 56 tackles (third-most on the team) with two interceptions and five pass breakups in 12 games. Last season was Bullard’s first at safety after starting at the nickelback, or STAR, position the majority of the 2022 season.

A reporter asked Bullard what he can bring to an NFL team and his answer was as straightforward as they come.

Bullard is one of 11 Bulldogs at the event this week. He’ll preform with the other defensive backs, including teammates Tykee Smith and Kamari Lassiter, on Friday starting at 3 p.m. ET. You can watch full coverage on NFL Network.

2024 NFL combine results from Georgia DL Zion Logue

Here’s how UGA’s Zion Logue preformed at the NFL combine on Thursday…

The 2024 NFL combine is now underway in Indianapolis as the nation’s top NFL draft prospects preform in front of league personnel. This is the first chance for 2024 NFL draft prospects to prove they should garner a high pick.

11 Bulldogs are participating at this year’s Combine, including offensive linemen Amarius Mims and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, running backs Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton, tight end Brock Bowers, wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, defensive tackle Zion Logue and defensive backs Javon Bullard, Kamari Lassiter and Tykee Smith.

Logue got the action started for the Bulldogs on Thursday. Below are his official measurements:

  • Height: 6-foot-5 5/8
  • Weight: 314 pounds
  • Hand: 10″
  • Arm: 33 1/2″
  • Wingspan: 80.25″
  • Forty: 5.14 (official)
  • Shuttle: DNP
  • Vertical Jump: 29″
  • Broad Jump: 9’1″

NFL.com overview: With one year as a full-time starter, Logue is still inexperienced despite staying for five years at Georgia. He has good size and length but average body composition. He rarely reads early block movement and finds himself on the wrong side of move blocks a disappointingly high number of times, despite decent initial quickness. Logue just doesn’t have a go-to skill set that allows him to stand out.

Logue gave credit to Kirby Smart and Georgia when asked what he learned during his time in Athens.

You can catch full coverage of this week’s Combine on NFL network. Defensive lineman and linebackers will kickoff on-field drills on Thursday at 3 p.m., followed by defensive backs and tight ends on Friday at 3 p.m. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs will preform at 1 p.m. on Saturday before workouts end with the offensive lineman and specialists on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Georgia baseball remains undefeated with walk-off win vs Northern Kentucky

Georgia baseball moves to 7-0 on the season thanks to a walk-off HBP

Georgia baseball is off to a perfect start in the 2024 season, moving to 7-0 with a walk-off victory at home against Northern Kentucky on Sunday. Freshman Tre Phelps was hit by a pitch three times, the third coming with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, giving the Bulldogs a 12-11 win to sweep the three-game series.

It was a career day by Phelps, who also recorded his first-career hit — a home run — to put the Bulldogs up 8-5 in the fifth. That run helped propel Georgia’s 4-run fifth inning, which included homers by Phelps, Logan Jordan and Kolby Branch.

Branch led the Georgia offense, hitting 3-for-5 with 2 RBI and two runs. Charlie Condon had an efficient day at the plate, hitting 4-for-5 with an RBI, two runs and a walk.

The Bulldogs ultimately squandered a 9-5 lead due to inconsistency on the mound. UGA’s pitching staff allowed 16 hits and four walks combined. Starter Leighton Finley gave up five hits, two of which were home runs, for four runs in three innings. Reliever Josh Roberge was pulled after 2.2 innings with eight hits and four more runs.

Despite the play on the mound, the Bulldogs held Northern Kentucky back during the late charge by the Norse. Georgia’s power at the plate was once again on full display. UGA’s 22 home runs in seven games leads the SEC.

Georgia will face tougher tests soon with matchups against Presbyterian and Michigan State before a three-game series with Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs will face their first ranked opponent when No. 18 Iowa makes a trip to Athens on March 15.

NFL draft analyst Matt Miller has Brock Bowers as UGA’s only first-round grade

Only one Georgia Bulldog in the first round? Matt Miller says so…

Georgia football is projected to be well represented in the 2024 NFL draft after sending an NFL-record 25 players through the draft over the last two years. Star tight end Brock Bowers will likely be the first Bulldog off the board in round one.

While 32 players will hear their name called on Day 1, not all of them hold round-one grades. According to ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller, Bowers is the only Bulldog to possess a first-round grade.

“Bowers is not just a tight end; he’s an offensive playmaker. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder is rough and ready, and unlike so many smooth-moving tight ends of this day and age, he’ll simply run over you. Bowers is physical but fast; he’s as elusive as he is powerful. And it’s why he scored 31 touchdowns over three seasons while being used as a tight end, H-back, slot receiver and sometimes tailback. Some may say he’s undersized, but Bowers’ effort and strength as a blocker are underrated. He can be a focal point for an NFL passing game from Day 1.”

Beyond grades, Bowers won’t likely be the only Bulldog taken in the first round. Amarius Mims is considered as one of the top players at offensive tackle, which is a premier position in the NFL. Wide receiver Ladd McConkey has seen a considerable surge this offseason as analyst have taken a deeper look at his tape.

Bowers, Mims and McConkey, along with eight other Bulldogs, will preform at the NFL combine from Feb. 26-March 4. A good outing in Indianapolis will bode well for their draft stocks. The 2024 NFL draft will be held on April 25-27 in Detroit.

Watch: Georgia track’s Christopher Morales Williams sets new world record

This incredible performance by Christopher Morales Williams set a new world record…

The University of Georgia took the national spotlight on Saturday thanks to an outstanding performance by UGA track star Christopher Morales Williams, who’s 44.49 400-meter set a new world record at the Southeastern Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship.

Williams, a sophomore, set the school, meet, facility, collegiate and world records all in one race. He cleared second place, Florida’s JeVaughn Powell, by more than a second (45.61).

The SEC Network’s broadcast crew was shocked to learn that William’s run eclipsed the previous world record:

Williams’ performance notched UGA’s fifth men’s title in the event. The Bulldogs will train through the first weekend of March before traveling to Boston, Mass., for the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 8-9). Georgia will begin its outdoor season at the Yellow Jacket Invitational in Atlanta on March 15-16. The SEC Outdoor Championships will be held in Gainesville, Fla., on May 9-11.

Stanford transfer Benjamin Yurosek named No. 4 returning TE in CFB

PFF thinks highly of Georgia’s new tight end.

Georgia’s upcoming spring practice will feature an interesting storyline at the tight end position with the departure of standout Brock Bowers. The three-time All-American and two-time Mackey Award winner is headed to the 2024 NFL draft with a first-round grade.

While replacing a talent like Bowers is a tall order, the Bulldogs have some promising options at tight end. Junior Oscar Delp, who served as Bowers’ backup last season, is coming off his best season yet with 24 catches for 284 yards and three touchdowns. Delp is expected to step into Bowers’ shoes, but the addition of Stanford transfer Benjamin Yurosek adds a unique change of pace.

Yurosek (6-foot-4, 242 pounds) signed with the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer this offseason. Pro Football Focus ranks Yurosek as the fourth-best tight end in the nation for the upcoming season. Michigan‘s Colston Loveland comes in at No. 1, Notre Dame‘s Mitchell Evans at No. 2, and Utah’s Brant Kuithe at No. 3, per PFF.

“Yurosek is the first of four tight ends mentioned in this article who’ll be playing for a new school in 2024, transferring to Georgia from Stanford in February. The senior had a disappointing last couple seasons for the Cardinal. In 2022, his PFF receiving grade dropped by nearly 15 points compared to what it was the year prior (65.5 compared to 79.9). In 2023, he missed the final six games of the season with a shoulder injury.

He deserves a high placement on this list for what he accomplished as a sophomore. In 2021, he was named first-team All-Pac-12 by PFF and was fourth among Power Five tight ends that year with 335 yards after the catch. Despite a lackluster last couple of seasons, Yurosek’s 1,338 receiving yards since 2021 lead all returning tight ends in college football. The only three who had more in that stretch were Bowers, Michael Mayer and Dalton Kincaid. After dealing with one of the worst quarterback situations at Stanford, Yurosek will be catching passes from the top returning signal-caller in the nation next year in Carson Beck.” — PFF

In addition to Delp and Yurosek, Georgia’s tight end room boasts sophomores Lawson Luckie and Pearce Spurlin, along with four-star recruit Jaden Reddell from the top-ranked 2024 class. We should get a better idea of how the Bulldogs will use the rotation by the end of spring practice.

Spring practice kicks off on Tuesday, March 12 and will culminate with the annual G-Day spring game on Saturday, April 13 in Sanford Stadium.

4-star CB Dawayne Galloway includes Georgia among top schools

Top-100 2025 prospect Dawayne Galloway has UGA in his top schools

Georgia football is in the running for four-star cornerback recruit Dawayne Galloway out of Marion-Franklin High School in Columbus, Ohio. Galloway is one of the top cornerbacks in the 2025 class.

Standing 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Galloway is one of the most physically-gifted players at the position. He’s also a track star, logging a 100-meter time of 10.42 as a sophomore.

247Sports rates Galloway as the No. 12 cornerback, the No. 4 player in Ohio and the No. 97 recruit in his class. The Bulldogs offered Galloway in October, adding to a list of some of the top programs in the country.

Galloway will choose from among Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, Colorado, West Virginia, Syracuse and UCF.

While Galloway lives in Big Ten territory, UGA has had no issue in recruiting out-of-state under Kirby Smart. Galloway will begin to narrow down his list as the 2025 cycle takes shape headed into spring practice.
