Storylines On The 2026 Bulldogs

The Bulldogs are preseason ranked No. 3 (AP) and among the teams with designs on advancing to the College Football Playoff and challenging for another title. Georgia will feature seven returning starters on offense including fifth-year All-SEC quarterback Gunner Stockton and All-SEC junior tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens. Eight starters return on defense including All-American juniors KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV and veteran starters in seniors Raylen Wilson, Jordan Hall and Gabe Harris Jr., plus junior Quintavius Johnson. Also, the special teams unit is headlined by senior All-SEC placekicker Peyton Woodring. In 2025, the Bulldogs were one of the youngest teams in the country with 54 percent of the roster consisting of players in their first or second season in Athens. In 2026, the Bulldogs brought in only nine scholarship transfers, the fewest in the SEC.

Selflessness: In the offseason, the Bulldogs studied the 2025 NBA Champion OKC Thunder and noted how they led the league in eight major defensive and team statistical categories and most importantly, "seflessness," according to Coach Kirby Smart. He aims for the 2026 Bulldogs to showcase that trait.

Going For Three In A Row: The Bulldogs won their 16th SEC title after a 28-7 rout of No. 9 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. This marked the first time Georgia won two straight SEC titles since it claimed three in a row from 1980-82. Georgia enters its 11th season under Smart, who has a record of 117-21 with two national titles and four SEC crowns in that span.

Georgia's scoring defense in 2025 ranked 10th nationally at 17.6 ppg while the scoring offense averaged 32.1 ppg, good for 28th nationally. In rushing defense, the Bulldogs were fourth nationally at 81.5 yards per game. In rushing offense, Georgia finished 35th nationally at 182.1 ypg.

The Bulldogs have a new offensive line coach in Phil Rauscher who spent the 2025 season assisting Stacy Searels who had been the OL coach since 2002. Rauscher has 16 years of experience in college and the NFL. Due to injuries, Georgia started six different offensive line units in the first six games of 2025 and eight total. The unit returns several key starters in fifth-year tackle Earnest Greene III, fifth-year center Drew Bobo and sophomore guard Dontrell Glover while sophomore Juan Gaston Jr. and junior Malachi Toliver made starts too. In the spring and continuing in the preseason, freshman Zykie Helton has made an impact. He could become another true freshman starter like Gaston (4 games including season opener) and Glover (12 games) as both did that in 2025.

Six of Georgia's top seven pass catchers from 2025 have moved on to the NFL or graduation, and the Bulldogs will look to identify the next group of targets. The top returnees are senior wideout London Humphreys and senior tight end Lawson Luckie. A newcomer to watch here is junior transfer Isiah Canion (Ga. Tech). He played with Bulldogs Rasean Dinkins and Isaiah Gibson at Warner Robins HS.

In 2025, linebackers CJ Allen and Raylen Wilson combined for 162 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. With Allen now playing for Indianapolis in the NFL, look for juniors Chris Cole and Justin Williams to fill the void while sophomore Zayden Walker should have an expanded role. Georgia's pass rush and sack total last season were questioned almost weekly. Cole had a team-high 4.5 sacks. The Bulldogs added junior linebacker Amaris Williams (Auburn) to bolster the pass rush but he injured his knee in April and is out. The Bulldogs have a new OLB coach in Larry Knight. The native of Augusta, Ga., replaced Chidera Uzo-Diribe, who joined the Dallas Cowboys as their OLB coach.

Georgia's secondary features preseason All-Americans KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV, but there is competition to fill Daylen Everette's spot as he started a team-best 41 games from 2023-25 before departing for the NFL/Pittsburgh. Portal additions here include fifth-year Gentry Williams (Oklahoma), junior Braylon Conley (USC), senior Athens native Khalil Barnes (Clemson, 7 career INTs) and junior Ja'Marley Riddle (ECU, 6 career INTs). The Bulldogs welcome back a healthy Kyron Jones as the senior safety started the first six games last year before missing the rest of the year due to a foot injury. Junior Demello Jones, sophomore Rasean Dinkins and senior Zion Branch saw plenty of action in 2025.

Simply The Best (Since 2021)

Georgia owns the best record in the FBS since 2021 at 65-7. This run includes back-to-back CFP national titles (2021-22) and three SEC titles (2022, 2024-25). The next best is Ohio State at 59-10.

Georgia and Ohio State are the only FBS schools to win 11+ games every season since 2021.

Dominating Dawgs

Georgia's 2026 Senior Class owns a record of 36-6 with back-to-back SEC titles. The 2025 Senior Class went 51-6 with a national title (2022) and three SEC crowns in their career. They were the third straight class to register 50 wins, joining the 2023 group (50-4) and the record-setting 2024 class (53-5).

Georgia owns the nation's longest active bowl streak at 29 seasons but has dropped its last two CFP quarterfinal matchups at the Sugar Bowl. Prior to these losses to Notre Dame and Ole Miss, Georgia had won seven straight CFP/bowl games. Overall, the Bulldogs have made 64 appearances in a bowl/CFP game with a 38-23-3 mark. The appearances and wins rank second in FBS.

Georgia has a current winning streak over every SEC team except Ole Miss that equals 77 games. The streaks ranges from one game up to 16 straight.

Frazier & Bowens Headline Ground Attack

In 2025, Georgia averaged 182.1 rushing yards/game with 31 TDs.

Nate Frazier (team-high 947 yards, 6 TDs), a 3rd Team Coaches All-SEC selection, started 10 games. He had a team-best 72 rushing yards plus a three-yard TD catch in the regular season win over No. 5 OM. He went for a career-high 181 yards on just 12 carries (15.1 avg.) in a road win over MSU. It was the most yards by a Bulldog since 2018 when D'Andre Swift had 186 in a win at Auburn. Frazier's big day included a career-best 59-yard TD run. He followed that up with a team-best 72 yards against No. 10 Texas. He went for 108 yards in a win versus #23 Tech.

Chauncey Bowens (526 yards, 6 TDs), who earned Coaches Freshman All-SEC honors last season, made his first career start in the win over UK and provided 70 yards on a career-high 15 carries. Against No. 17 UA, he posted a career-best 119 yards on 12 carries (9.9 average). He had a 36-yard scamper for the go-ahead score in the 4th quarter over UF. Due to injury, he missed the final two games of the regular season and saw limited action in the postseason.

Georgia also welcomes back Dwight Phillips Jr., Bo Walker and and freshman Jae Lamar. UK senior transfer Dante Dowdell is out due to an injury.

Options Abound At Wideout

In 2025, the Bulldogs averaged 220.2 receiving yards/game with 25 TDs. The Bulldogs will have to lean on a new cast with six of the top seven pass catchers off to the NFL or have graduated. The departed group includes junior Zachariah Branch (81-for-811 yards, 6 TDs), now with the Atlanta Falcons. He led the SEC in receptions with a Bulldog record 81 catches last year.

London Humphreys (18-for-276 yards, 3 TDs) is the top returning receivier. He had THE catch of the 2025 season. Down 38-30 with 2:38 remaining in the game at No. 15 UT, it was 4th-and-6 when he hauled in a 28-yard touchdown strike from Gunner Stockton.

After limited action, the following Bulldogs will be looking for an increased role: Sacovie White-Helton, Talyn Taylor, CJ Wiley, Thomas Blackshear, Landon Roldan, Tyler J. Wiliams and Jeremy Bell.

Bulldog newcomers include junior Georgia Tech transfer Isiah Canion along with freshmen Craig Dandridge, Dallas Dickerson, Ryan Mosley and Tre Shields.

Ready Or Not, It's Go Time

The offensive line had an eventful season in 2025 due to injuries. Georgia used a different starting OL unit in its first six games, then had the same unit for the next four contests before resting a pair (All-America C-Drew Bobo, RT-Earnest Greene III) in the win over Charlotte. Bobo left the game versus No. 23 Ga. Tech with a leg injury. C Malachi Toliver started three of the final four games for him. Micah Morris (LG) was the only linemen to start every game in final year. The Bulldogs employed three different starting RGs, two different LTs, two different Cs and four different RTs. Junior LT Monroe Freeling, a 2nd Team Coaches All-SEC selection, had the longest the starting streak at 10 games. He was a first round draft pick of the Carolina Panthers.

Bobo, a 2nd Team Coaches All-SEC pick, and Greene III are the veteran leaders of the unit. Greene III has a team-best 32 career starts. In 2025, a pair of true freshmen saw plenty of action. Juan Gaston Jr. started at RG and RT while Dontrell Glover, who earned FWAA Freshman All-America honors, started the last 10 games at RG. Georgia returns Jahzare Jackson, Toliver and Michael Uini who made spot starts last year. Two newcomers to watch will be freshmen Zykie Helton and Ekene Ogboko. Ekene is the younger brother of Bulldog DL Nnamdi Ogboko.

Did You Know? Gaston joined Andrew Thomas (RT, 2017) as the only true freshman offensive lineman to start a season opener in the Smart era. Thomas went on to be a first round pick (fourth overall selection) in the 2020 NFL draft by the New York Giants. He remains a starter for the Giants.

Tight Ends Always In The Game Plan

Tight ends have been a staple of the Bulldog offense and the player development is notable. Six former Bulldog tight ends were in the NFL in 2025, most notably Brock Bowers (Las Vegas). The Bulldogs aim to continue that trend with a stocked room in 2026 as only Oscar Delp (20 rec., 261 yards, 1 TD) graduated to the NFL and was drafted by the New Orleans Saints.

In 2025, Lawson Luckie (15 rec., 158 yards, 4 TDs) and Delp led the room. Jaden Reddell (1 rec., 9 yards) appeared in every game in 2025 while Elyiss Williams (7 rec., 117 yards, 1 TD) played in 13 games as a rookie and Colton Heinrich saw action in four games. Against No. 5 Ole Miss, Luckie became the first Bulldog with three TD catches in a game since 2008 (Mohamed Massaquoi vs. Ga. Tech).

Ethan Barbour went down with a leg injury in game two (Austin Peay) of his rookie season in 2025 and eventually returned for the CFP. He joined Delp in the starting lineup in the season opener while Williams notched a 23-yard TD on his first career catch.

Georgia's additions to this room include freshmen Kaiden Prothro, Brayden Fogle and Lincoln Keyes.

Defense Improved During The Season

Georgia has had 55 players drafted over the past five seasons, including 30 on defense and 11 of those defenders have gone in the first round.

Opponents scored 246 points in 2025 (17.6 ppg/10th nationally).

In 2025, opponents scored 71 points in the 1st quarter (21 of those at #15 UT) and 53 in the 2nd quarter. However, in the 2nd half, the Bulldogs allowed a total of 122 points (plus 3 points in OT).

The Bulldogs allowed 10 points or fewer in each of their final four games before the CFP, the longest streak in a season since an eight-game stretch during the 1971 season, according to ESPN Research.

However, No. 6 Ole Miss scored 20 points in the 4th quarter to win the CFP quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl 39-34.

In the SEC Championship Game, No. 9 UA was shut out for the first three quarters and finished with a season-low 7 points, marking just the third time it has been held to single digits since 2011. UA came in averaging 33.3 points.

No. 23 Ga. Tech averaged 35.3 points and was held to three field goals.

No. 10 Texas averaged 29.6 points and managed just 10 points.

No. 5 OM scored 14 in the 3rd quarter and then were shut out in the 4th quarter.

Shut out Auburn in the 2nd half after trailing 10-3 at the half in a 20-10 win.

Blanked No. 17 UA in the 2nd half after it scored 24 points in the first half.

UK had seven points in the 1st half, and it's final TD came courtesy of a 23-yard drive following a turnover with 1:51 left and Georgia up 35-7.

Georgia had a 38-7 lead at MSU before allowing 14 points in the 2nd half.

Stopping The Run Starts Up Front

Georgia ranked fourth nationally, allowing only 81.5 rushing yards a game.

Jordan Hall and Gabe Harris Jr., are the veterans up front.

The front must replace Christen Miller who now suits up for the New Orleans Saints after a stellar career that featured 24 starts.

Harris Jr., had a career-high five stops at AU and made four in the win at MSU.

Georgia welcomes back Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, Nnamdi Ogboko, Josh Horton and Elijah Griffin and JJ Hanne. Griffin earned FWAA Freshman All-America honors last year while Horton appeared in all 14 games.

Jonah-Ajonye posted a career-high three stops versus Austin Peay. Griffin had two tackles each against UK and AU while Horton, who has shown an ability to win one-on-one battles, made three tackles against No. 17 UA. Ogboko got his first career sack versus UK.

Newcomers to watch here include freshmen Carter Luckie (younger brother of Bulldog senior Lawson Luckie), Valdin Sone, Preston Carey, AJ Lonon and PJ Dean while returnees Nasir Johnson and Justin Greene aim for bigger roles. Junior transfer Amaris Williams (Auburn) is out with a knee injury.

In the SEC Championship Game win over No. 9 UA, the Bulldogs limited the Crimson Tide to minus three yards rushing, their second lowest total ever.

Against No. 10 Texas, UT managed only 23 yards on 17 attempts. UT entered the game averaging 135.3 yards on the ground. In the win over No. 23 Ga. Tech, the Jackets tallied just 69 yards on 23 attempts after averaging 215 rushing yards.

Steady Linebacking Trio Sees Next Wave Emerging

The good news is two-thirds of the starting trio return in Raylen Wilson and Quintavius Johnson while All-American and tackle leader CJ Allen is off to the NFL as a member of the Buffalo Bills.

Wilson finished third on the team with 74 tackles plus had 6.5 TFL and 2.5 Sacks. Johnson tallied 35 tackles on the year. The next wave who flashed in 2025 includes Chris Cole, Justin Williams and Zayden Walker.

Cole posted a team-high 4.5 sacks as a sophomore. He saw extensive playing time against No. 10 Texas when Allen left in the first half with an injury. Cole set a career-high with a team-best seven stops in the win over the Longhorns. He made his first start against Charlotte and tallied four stops and a sack. He made six tackles with one sack and two QB pressures against No. 15 Tennessee.

Williams, a sophomore in 2025, posted a career-high six stops versus UK, collected five tackles at MSU and made four stops against No. 10 Texas. He had a team-best five tackles against Charlotte. He recovered a blocked punt against No. 9 UA in the SEC Championship Game.

Walker made an impact as a freshman last year. At MSU, he tallied a career-high three stops. Then, he picked up his first career sack in the win over No. 10 Texas plus forced a fumble. He had another sack in the SEC Championship Game win over No. 9 UA.

Also, Georgia's depth here includes Isaiah Gibson, Darren Ikinnagbon, AJ Kruah and Chase Linton plus freshmen Nick Abrams, Khamari Brooks, Elijah Littlejon and Terrence Penick.

A Passing Grade In The Secondary

Georgia's opponents averaged 216.5 passing yards per game and threw for 14 TDs in 2025. The Bulldog defense had nine interceptions, all from the secondary, and generated 20 sacks (one from the secondary-JaCorey Thomas).

The Bulldogs welcome the return of All-SEC safety KJ Bolden (16 career starts) and FWAA Freshman Defensive Player of the Year Ellis Robinson IV (12 career starts) plus safety Kyron Jones (started the first six games of 2025 before missing the rest of the season due to a foot injury) and star Rasean Dinkins (started the final two games of 2025). Also, Demello Jones, who appeared in 12 games last year, is back plus Zion Branch who saw action in 11 games in 2025 including a career-best six stops in the win over UF.

The Bulldogs made four portal additions in the secondary: senior Khalil Barnes (Clemson) and fifth-year Gentry Williams (Oklahoma) plus junior Ja'Marley Riddle (ECU) and junior Braylon Conley (USC). The Bulldogs return Jontae Gilbert, Jaylan Morgan and Todd Robinson. From the high school ranks, Georgia added Justice Fitzpatrick, Zech Fort, Tyriq Green, Caden Harris, Jordan Smith and Blake Stewart.

Here's a look at some of the Georgia's top performances last year: After No. 17 UA posted a 68% conversion rate (13-of-19) on 3rd Down in the regular season contest, Georgia limited UA to 3-of-14 conversions in the SEC title game as it finished 19-for-39 in the air. Georgia posted a 28-7 victory for another SEC crown.

In Atlanta, No. 23 Ga. Tech finished with 181 passing yards and no TDs with just two completions over 25 yards. Robinson IV notched his team-best fourth INT, which tied him for the SEC lead, and the Bulldogs won 16-9.

Against No. 10 Texas, the Longhorns had 251 yards on 43 attempts but only one catch was more than 25 yards. The Bulldogs cruised to a 35-10 win and had three sacks against UT who finished 2-for-12 on 3rd Downs

The top passing attack came at No. 15 Tennessee as the Vols were averaging 352 yards, and Joey Aguilar tallied 371 yards in a shootout. Coming in to that game, the Bulldogs had not allowed a passing TD, and the Vols collected four including three big ones that covered 32, 56 and 72 yards. Still, Georgia rallied for a 44-41 victory in overtime.

We're Going For It!

In the Kirby Smart era, the Bulldogs have a 64% success rate on 4th Down Conversion attempts (96-for-149) with 17 TDs.

In 2025, Georgia ranked second nationally in 4th Down Conversions at 75% (15-for-20) with 3 TDs. Some of the more memorable ones from last year included a 4th-and-3 at the Auburn 40 with 5:14 left in the contest. It was part of the clinching go-ahead TD drive that lasted a school record-tying eight minutes and 45 seconds. Down 38-30 with 2:38 remaining in the game at No. 15 Tennessee, Georgia converted a 4th-and-6 at the UT 28 for a TD (Stockton pass-to-Humphreys).

Did You Know? Prior to the UT game last year, the only other fourth quarter 4th down conversion featuring a TD pass when Georgia was behind under Smart came in 2016 at Missouri. The Bulldogs trailed 27-21 with 1:31 left in the game and faced a 4th-and-10. Jacob Eason hit Isaiah McKenzie for a 20-yard TD in a 28-27 win.

It's Miller Time

With elite distance, hang time, placement and a strong coverage unit, All-America punter Brett Thorson captured the 2025 Ray Guy Award to cap his Bulldog career. The Bulldogs ranked fourth nationally in Net Punting at 43.5. Thorson missed the 2025 opener while still recovering from offseason knee surgery and Drew Miller served as the punter.

Now a junior, Drew Miller actually got his first taste of action in the 2025 CFP Quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl after Thorson was injured in the 2024 SEC Championship Game.

A native of Mediapolis, Iowa, Miller will be competing for the punting job. Georgia also returns specialists Connor Ferguson plus snapper Will Snellings and welcomes in freshman signee kicker Harran Zureikat.

The returning gunners include KJ Bolden, London Humphreys, Jeremy Bell and Talyn Taylor.

Geaux Dawgs

Senior All-SEC specialist Peyton Woodring, a native of Lafayette, La., is a three-time Lou Groza Award semifinalist. In 2025, he was a 2nd Team Coaches All-SEC pick and twice named SEC Specialist of the Week.

Woodring's Career FG% of 88.06% (59-of-67) is on track for a school record as the current mark belongs to Rodrigo Blankenship who posted an 82.47% from 2016-19, making 80-of-97 attempts. Blankenship holds the Georgia and SEC record for Career PATs, going 200-for-200. Woodring is 173-for-173 in PATs.

In 2025, he had a team-high 105 points (17-19 on FGs, 54-for-54 on PATs, 84 Kickoffs, 61 Touchbacks, 4 Out of Bounds).

Kickoff returns under Woodring have been rare but look for Kyron Jones, Raylen Wilson, Justin Williams and Chris Cole to be among those with special teams tackles.

Did You Know? After missing three of his first seven field goal attempts as a freshman in 2023, Woodring has been good on 55 of his past 60 FG (4 of those misses were from 50+ yards while one was from 45 yards).

Did You Know? Georgia's last game-winning field goal with two minutes or less to play came in the 2021 Peach Bowl against undefeated and No. 8 Cincinnati. Jack Podlesny hit a 53 yarder with three seconds left for a 22-21 lead. The Bulldogs would register a safety on the last play for a 24-21 final.

Back Deep For The Bulldogs

With the departure of All-SEC wideout/returner Zachariah Branch and senior Cash Jones, the Bulldogs will have competition in the return game. One cadidate with experience is Sacovie White-Helton. He had five punt returns for 57 yards last year. Landon Roldan has one career kickoff return for six yards.

Did You Know? Georgia's last punt return for a TD came in 2023 (Mekhi {MUH-kye} Mews vs. Ball State, 69 yards)

Did You Know? Georgia's last KOR for a TD came in 2016 (Terry Godwin @ South Carolina, 43 yards)

It's Blocked

Under Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have blocked nine punts and eight field goals. There's one player on the current squad with a block for Georgia.

In the 2025 opener against Marshall, KJ Bolden blocked a punt that led to an eventual TD after a 20-yard drive.

Did You Know? Georgia's last blocked field goal came in 2024 by Dan Jackson against Auburn. He is now with the Detroit Lions.

Week Two Whiteout

In the week two matchup against Western Kentucky in Athens, Georgia will wear an all-white uniform (helmets, jerseys and pants) for the first time in school history. Georgia is 4-0 in an alternate uniforms under Smart including black jerseys against Louisiana in Athens in 2016, versus Miss. State in Athens and Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl in the 2020 season. Also, to honor the 1980 national championship team, Georgia wore white jerseys and red pants in the 2020 season opener at Arkansas.

A Look At The 2026 Schedule

The SEC goes to a nine-game league slate this year, and the two-time defending SEC champion Bulldogs open league play at Arkansas on Sept. 19. Georgia's SEC home opener will be Sept. 26 with the first-ever visit by Oklahoma. The rest of the home schedule features Vanderbilt, Auburn, Missouri and Ga. Tech.

The Bulldogs are 10-0 in their first SEC road game each year of the Smart era, winning at Tennessee (twice), South Carolina (twice), Vanderbilt (twice), Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Missouri.

Georgia has three other SEC roadtrips to Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina while the Florida game will be held in Atlanta on Oct. 31 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This marks the first time since 1995 that the Bulldogs and Gators square off somewhere other than Jacksonville, Fla. Everbank Stadium is being renovated for the next two seasons. The 2027 Georgia-Florida game will be in Tampa, Fla.

Georgia is 40-3 in its last 43 SEC regular season games with two losses to UA and one to Ole Miss.

"Hard To Kill" In 2025

In 2025, Georgia went 7-1 in the SEC gauntlet, trailing early and/or late in seven of those contests. The Bulldogs rallied to beat No. 15 Tennessee and Auburn on the road for their ninth straight victory in those series. They outlasted No. 5 Ole Miss 43-35 in Athens and never had to punt. Georgia won its fifth straight over Florida in Jacksonville. Georgia erased an early 7-0 deficit at MSU with 38 unanswered points and eventually recorded a 41-21 decision for the program's 900th all-time win. Georgia used a 21-point fourth quarter to defeat No. 10 Texas 35-10 to close out the SEC regular season.

The only league contest in the regular season where Georgia led wire-to-wire was a 35-14 home win over UK while the only comeback that fell short came to then No. 17 UA 24-21 in Athens.

The Bulldogs dominated No. 9 UA in the SEC Championship Game becoming the first team to shut out their opponent for the first three quarters of the title game.
