The University of Georgia football program enters the new season with high expectations after being ranked No. 3 in the AP preseason poll. Head coach Kirby Smart enters his 11th season leading the Bulldogs, who are aiming to extend a school-record streak of five seasons with at least 11 wins.

The team features returning starter Gunner Stockton at quarterback and running back Nate Frazier in the offense. The defense is anchored by secondary players KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV, along with linebacker Raylen Wilson. Georgia is scheduled to open its season at home against Tennessee State on September 5.

In recent media updates, Coach Smart also noted that player Justice Fitzpatrick has been cleared for daily activities and is participating in meetings and walk-throughs, though he has not yet begun lab tackling.
