    Quarterback Carson Beck had two vehicles stolen in the middle of the night in Miami Florida.

     

    One of the biggest moves during the transfer portal window this winter was Georgia quarterback Carson Beck electing to transfer to the Miami Hurricanes. This news came after Beck initially announced he was entering the 2025 NFL draft. However, it appears Beck’s time in Miami is off to a rough start.

     

    On Thursday morning, it was reported that Beck had two vehicles stolen in the middle of the night in South Florida. His girlfriend Hanna Cavinder also had an SUV stolen but it has since been found. Authorities are still looking for Beck’s Lamborghini and Mercedes.

     

    Beck driving a Lamborghini is not new. It was revealed during his final season at Georgia that Beck had recently acquired a Lamborghini SUV and that cars were something he was passionate about.

     

    During his time in Athens, Beck threw for 7,912 yards, 58 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. During the 2024 SEC Championship game, Beck left the game at halftime after injuring his shoulder. He would later have underwent successful surgery Monday on his right elbow to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). Beck is still rehabbing from his injury but is expected to make a full recovery before the 2025 season starts.

     

     

     

     

  • Georgia Received Good News This Weekend From Multiple Star Players

    Georgia Received Good News This Weekend From Multiple Star Players

     

    Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart received a boost over the weekend. The Dawgs are preparing to host multiple star recruits in the coming months.

     

    As Georgia plans for the 2026 recruits to make a visit to Athens, Ga., Smart already has five players committed for the upcoming college football recruiting class. The current group is headlined by a trio of four stars in safety Zech Fort, wide receiver Vance Spafford and tight end Lincoln Keyes, based on 247Sports’ rankings.

     

    According to On3.com’s Jake Reuse, Georgia received plans for official visits from three top recruits in the 2026 class. Four-star linebacker Nick Abrams out of Owings, Mills, Md., is among those who is heading to Athens on March 15.

    Four-star offensive tackle Ekene Ogboko, who 247Sports has ranked inside their top-25 for all 2026 recruits, out of Garner, N.C., will visit Georgia. Finally, Ogboko’s teammate Ebenezer Ewetade is also heading to Athens. Ewetade is a three-star pass rusher in the 2026 recruiting class.

     

    Abrams labeled Georgia’s ability to build “one of the greatest defenses” as a strong selling point. Georgia will look to fight off a number of top programs in pursuit of Abrams, including SEC foes like the Alabama Crimson Tide.

     

    “Over the years Georgia has built not only one of the best programs in the nation but one of the greatest defenses,” Abrams told On3.com’s Steve Wiltfong in an interview on Saturday. “A defense where linebackers thrive in.

     

    “They put guys in the league and that’s something you can’t ignore. I would be foolish not visit and see more of what [defensive coordinator] Coach (Glenn) Schumann is talking about.”

    NFL expert names Georgia All-American as draft fit for Carolina Panthers

    With the eighth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select…

    The Carolina Panthers are more likely than not targeting defense in the first round of the NFL Draft. They’ve been endlessly mocked a linebacker (Jalon Walker), edge rusher (Walker or in some cases Abdul Carter), or an interior defensive lineman (Mason Graham).

    However, the “perfect fit,” at least according to NFL insider Frank Schwab, is none of the above. Those players would certainly be good, but Schwab believes there’s a better and in some instances more realistic player on the board for Carolina at eight overall.

    NFL expert tabs Malaki Starks as ideal draft choice for Panthers

    The best draft fit for the Panthers is Malaki Starks, the All-American safety out of Georgia. Frank Schwab of Yahoo! Sports did say that the Panthers could go in a lot of different directions, but that Starks is one of the best options.

    “The Panthers can go in just about any direction with the eighth overall draft pick and it would be justified. They need help at just about every position,” Schwab said. “A versatile safety like Starks would help the process of building a defense from the ground up.

    Athens, Georgia, USA; Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Malaki Starks (24) on the field against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Sanford Stadium.

    The Panthers had a pretty abysmal safety room last season, and virtually all of them are free agents. Xavier Woods, Jordan Fuller, Sam Franklin, and Nick Scott are all FAs and none are likely to return except maybe Franklin, but he’s more of a special teams player anyway.The Panthers will have to add safeties plural, so why not add one in the draft? With Graham and Carter probably off the board, picking Starks over Walker wouldn’t be a huge stretch, and it would help revamp the back end of that awful Panthers defense.

    The Philadelphia Eagles just won the Super Bowl with a dominant defense, so the Panthers should try to rebuild that side of the ball. Additionally, their defense is made up of a ton of former Georgia players, so the Panthers can follow that blueprint as well. Walker, for what it’s worth, is also a Bulldog, so he would appease that as well.

  • Georgia football star not invited to the NFL Combine

    Dan Jackson will be able to add another chip to his shoulder.

     

    91st Allstate Sugar Bowl – Notre Dame v Georgia

    The NFL Combine is right around the corner meaning that the next batch of Georgia football stars will get their chance to impress NFL organizations ahead of the NFL Draft later this spring. Invites to the NFL Combine were just sent out on Thursday, and UGA had an astounding 14 players invited to this year’s Combine.

     

    This is two more players than last year’s 12 participants and is the second most players invited to the 2025 Combine. The National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes had the most players invited with 15 while the Texas Longhorns tied Georgia with 14.

     

    While all 14 of these Bulldogs deserved to be invited, there was one player who was clearly left out that should have been invited. And not only is he an elite player, but he is a fan favorite.

     

    Where is Dan Jackson?

    Defensive back Dan Jackson somehow was not invited to the 2025 NFL Combine later this month. This news came as a huge shock to everyone because Jackson was one of the better players in Georgia’s secondary who proved how great of a leader he is too.

     

    Jackson is coming off an impressive season where he recorded 64 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and two interceptions. Arguably the best play of his season was when Jackson forced a fumble late in the Georgia Tech game that helped spark the Bulldogs comeback victory.

     

    While Jackson 100 percent deserved to be invited, being left out doesn’t mean his NFL career is over. There still is a good chance that he will be drafted and be given his chance to make an impact at the next level. Take former linebacker Tae Crowder for example who did not get an invited to the 2020 NFL Combine. He ended up being the last pick in that year’s draft and quickly proved everyone wrong by leading the New York Giants in tackles in his second season in the league.

     

    Crowder is just one example of players having great careers in the NFL after not being invited to the Combine, and if any player is able to prove all the critics wrong, Georgia knows that Jackson is that player.

    Georgia Gets Bad News on Projected $2.7 Million Star Quarterback Amid Rumors

    The Georgia Bulldogs continue to search for their future quarterback, but things may not be progressing as hoped with one top prospect. Head coach Kirby Smart and his staff are among the leading contenders for the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class.

     

    However, it seems the Dawgs might be losing ground to another powerhouse. Georgia also faces uncertainty over who will be the starting quarterback for the 2025 season.

     

    Gunner Stockton will compete with Ryan Puglisi, Ryan Montgomery, and others for the starting role. Looking ahead, On3.com’s Steve Wiltfong believes Georgia is falling behind in the race to secure five-star quarterback Jared Curtis.

     

    Wiltfong now sees the Oregon Ducks as the front-runners to sign the Nashville Christian standout.

     

    “The top-ranked quarterback in the class and No. 4 overall prospect is most interested in Georgia, Oregon, and South Carolina,” Wiltfong wrote on Tuesday.

     

    “He recently spoke highly of the Bulldogs. However, after speaking with multiple sources, it seems like Oregon is taking the lead.

     

    “… Curtis has really connected with offensive coordinator Will Stein,” Wiltfong added. “He has visited Eugene twice. Dan Lanning’s in-home visit in January left a strong impression. This is shaping up to be Oregon’s to lose.”

     

    “Georgia is currently in a battle with Oregon, with South Carolina, Alabama, Auburn, North Carolina, and Ohio State also in the mix.”

     

    Curtis is ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2026 class by both ESPN and On3. The 6-foot-3 signal-caller has a projected NIL value of $2.7 million, ac

  • Georgia football has “separated themselves” with elite in-state recruit

    Georgia football has “separated themselves” with elite in-state recruit

    |

    Georgia football has been trending in the right direction with a lot of recruits recently. A lot of that has to do with all the work Kirby Smart and his staff have been putting in on the recruiting trail so far this offseason, and it appears that work is paying off as the Bulldogs are the team to beat according to one extremely talented recruit in the 2026 class.

    Tyriq Green is a four-star ATH from Buford, GA. According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Green is the No. 167 player in the country. He also is the No. 22 player from Georgia and No. 10 ATH in the 2026 class as well.

    Green is someone Georgia has been high no for quite some time, and it appears that Green is high on the Bulldogs as well. Not only was Green in Athens for Georgia’s most recent Junior Day, but he shared the following statement with 247Sports.

    “I feel like Georgia’s separated themselves a lot,” Green said via 247sports.com.

    When speaking about what he loves about Georgia, Green shared, “Really just being able to put me anywhere on the defense. Just going up there, it’s family up there. Our relationship’s strong. I’m comfortable around them. I can be myself. It’s just relationships. It’s somewhere I can go be myself and be comfortable and just be me.”

    247Sports also stated that Green is looking to take visits to a few other schools as well including Ohio State, Florida State, Miami (FL) and Tennessee. No official visits have been scheduled to any of these schools including Georgia yet, but that is the expectations right now.

    But this recruitment feels like one that is Georgia’s to lose based on these comments from Green. And hopefully these comments turn into a commitment in the future because he would clearly be a massive addition to the program.

    Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is in a category of his own regarding this accomplishment.

    Winning in college football is an extremely hard thing to do, and with the ever-changing developments in the sport, it won’t be getting easier anytime soon. But despite the massive turbulence in college football, Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart has somehow found a way to consistently succeed.

    Smart took over as the Bulldogs’ head coach during the 2016 season and immediately brought the Dawgs to new heights. Under his tutelage, Georgia has won three conference titles, numerous New Year’s Six Bowls, and a pair of national championships.

    Smart’s accomplishments have led to him becoming one of the premier coaches in college football and arguably the best coach in the SEC. But his impressive feats within the conference have also allowed him to separate himself into a category of his own.

    Currently, Smart is the only active head coach to have won an SEC Championship. The Bulldogs’ head coach notched his third title victory this previous season when the Dawgs defeated Texas in an overtime thriller.

    Smart and the Bulldogs will look to defend their conference title in 2025 as they face yet another challenging schedule. Georgia is currently scheduled to face five top-25 teams next season and will face extremely challenging opponents such as Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee on the road.

  • Ryan Day Contract Extension Could Mean New Contract for Georgia’s Kirby Smart

    Ryan Day Contract Extension Could Mean New Contract for Georgia’s Kirby Smart

    Georgia head coach, Kirby Smart is the highest-paid football coach in College Football. Though a recent contract extension to Ryan Day, could lead to potentially another raise for Kirby Smart.

     

    For years it seemed as if legendary football coach Nick Saban had a clause written in his contract that essentially stated “Saban is to be the highest paid coach in the sport.” So, if one football coach were to enter Saban’s stratosphere in terms of annual value, super-agent Jimmy Sexton would have Alabama rolling out a new contract for Saban.

     

    Well, since Saban has retired, Sexton’s prized possession in terms of clients is now Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. Smart enterred the 2024 season as the highest-paid college football coach by a $1.5m margin, making $13m annually. In second place was Clemson’s Dabo Swinney at $11.5m per year.

     

    Now, Kirby Smart has neighboring company. He’s still set to be the highest-paid college football coach in the sport, but not by much. Following their first National Title since 2014, Ohio State has extended Ryan Day and given him quite a pay raise.

     

    Day was set to make $9.5m in 2025. Now, his contract has been extended through 2032 and he will be making $12.5m annually according to reports. One would imagine Jimmy Sexton is on the phone pretty soon with UGA brass attempting to squeeze them out of a few more dollars for the head man.

    Entering the 2025 Georgia Football season, as per usual, they will have plenty of talented options at the cornerback position. We preview the position battle here.

     

    Daylen Everette: The Defensive Playmaker

     

    Daylen Everette’s performance during the 2024 season was nothing short of remarkable. As one of the conference’s top cornerbacks, Everette showcased his ability to shut down opposing receivers, finishing with 9 pass deflections, 4 interceptions, and 45 solo tackles. His 9 pass deflections were a testament to his coverage skills and ability to break up passing plays, while his 4 interceptions demonstrate his keen awareness and ball-hawking instincts. In addition, Everette’s 45 solo tackles reflect his physicality and willingness to contribute in both pass coverage and run support.

     

    Everette’s ability to consistently disrupt the passing game was crucial for Georgia as they faced some high-powered offenses throughout the season. His interceptions were often momentum-changing plays, and his tenacity on the field provided leadership to the defense. Everette proved to be one of the most valuable members of the secondary, making him a key player for whom opposing offenses had to account at all times.

     

    Daniel Harris: Defending His Spot

     

    While Daylen Everette has emerged as a playmaking leader in the cornerback room, Daniel Harris has quietly established himself as a lengthy, physical cornerback in his own right. With 18 solo tackles and 3 pass deflections, Harris may not have the flashy numbers of his counterpart, but his consistency and ability to defend his spot on the field have been vital.

    His physical presence in the run game was a major asset, and his solid pass coverage kept opposing quarterbacks from looking his way too often. Harris’s contribution was especially valuable in tight games, where his ability to shut down key receiving threats helped secure victories for the team.

     

    In a crowded cornerback room, Harris’s ability to defend his spot and continue to perform at a high level speaks volumes about his skill and work ethic. He has got the experience now, so looking forward to seeing what 2025 holds for Daniel Harris, often tasked with taking on some of the toughest assignments in the defensive backfield, because they knew what Everette was on the other side they tried to find a weakness in our pass defense. Harris took on that challenge and held his ground this season, but one thing for sure we know he will put in a good off season workout and who knows maybe be one of the top cornerbacks in the nation.

     

    Ellis Robinson IV and Demello Jones: The Future at Cornerback

     

    While Everette and Harris have proven themselves as stalwarts in the secondary, the future of the cornerback position at Georgia is in good hands with the emergence of young talents like Ellis Robinson IV and Demello Jones. Both players have been turning heads with their skill sets and are expected to compete for starting roles as they continue to develop.

     

    Ellis Robinson IV is a highly touted recruit known for his elite coverage skills and athleticism. His ability to mirror receivers and disrupt passing lanes has made him one of the most exciting young cornerbacks in the game. Robinson’s talent has put him in direct competition with Everette and Harris for a starting role, and his potential to make an immediate impact cannot be understated.

     

    Demello Jones, meanwhile, has shown flashes of brilliance in his own right. Known for his speed and physicality, Jones brings a different dynamic to the cornerback position. His ability to match up against larger, more physical receivers has made him a potential game-changer on the outside. As Jones continues to gain experience, he will likely push for a significant role in the team’s secondary. Luckily, for this Georgia football team both these guys wanted to work for their spots and not enter the transfer portal.

     

    The Competition Heating Up

     

    With the combination of experienced players like Everette and Harris and the incoming talent of Robinson IV and Jones, the competition at cornerback is intensifying. This depth gives the coaching staff valuable options and allows them to deploy different strategies to handle opposing offenses. The battle for starting spots at cornerback is expected to be one of the most closely watched storylines in the offseason, with all four players capable of making significant contributions.

     

    In conclusion, the cornerback position at Georgia has been a stronghold this season, with Daylen Everette leading the charge with impressive stats and Daniel Harris proving his reliability in critical moments. Meanwhile, the potential of Ellis Robinson IV and Demello Jones adds an exciting layer to the team’s secondary. As the competition for starting spots intensifies, Georgia is in an position with a deep and talented group of cornerbacks that could shape the team’s defensive success for years to come.
