The Georgia Bulldogs are set to begin Spring Practice in less than a week. We take a look at what the offensive depth chart could look like as practice begins.

Spring practice is a time of evaluation and improvement for College Football programs across the country. Teams have fifteen practices to evaluate where their new roster rests as the summer approaches and the fall schedules are nearing.

The Georgia Bulldogs are fresh off a season that saw another SEC Title added to collection and a dissapointing loss to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. We take a look at the offensive depth chart as spring ball begins.

Georgia Depth Chart – What The Offense Looks Like

Quarterback:

QB1 – Gunner Stockton

QB2 – Ryan Puglisi

QB3 – Colter Ginn

The Bulldogs will undoubtedly have a QB battle this spring. Sugar Bowl starter Gunner Stockton is expected to enter the spring as the No. 1. However, Ryan Puglisi will likely get reps with the first unit as well for the first time in his two years in a Georgia uniform.

Running Back:

RB1 – Nate Frazier

RB2 – Cash Jones

RB3 – Chauncey Bowens / Dwight Phillips

Injury Report – Branson Robinson (Knee) Broderick Robinson (Foot)

The Running back room will be an interesting one this spring considering it enters the practice portion of the offseason still pretty banged up. Both Robinsons had surgery during the fall and are expected to be limited. This room needs to develop while remaining healthy this spring.

Tight End:

TE 1 – Oscar Delp

TE 2 – Lawson Luckie

TE 3 – Jayden Redell

TE 4 – Elyiss Williams and Ethan Barbour

Injury Report – Colton Heinrich

The tight end room just received quite a bit of new life with the arrivals of Elyiss Williams and Ethan Barbour. The two are expected to have incredible futures with the Bulldogs and will likely be thrown into the fire this spring.

WR – X:

X1 – Dillon Bell (For Now)

X2 – Noah Thomas

X3 – Nitro Tuggle

X4 – CJ Wiley

Questions – Colbie Young

The Georgia Bulldogs brought Noah Thomas in from Texas A&M to be the true X-receiver on this offense. He’s a 6’6, 200-pound target that can consistently win in 1-on-1 situations. Until he’s ready and fully in sync with the playbook, Dillon Bell will likely take a good bit of reps here.

WR – Z

Z1 – London Humphreys

Z2 – Dillon Bell

Z3 – Taylyn Taylor

The commonly forgotten-about player this offseason is seemingly former Vanderbilt transfer London Humphreys. Hupmhreys showed up big time in critical moments a year ago and is expected to have a bigger role in 2025. Freshman Taylyn Taylor may have the cleanest route to playing time of any freshman.

WR – $lot

$1 – Zachariah Branch

$2 – Sacovie White

$3 – Cole Speer

Zachariah Branch was brought into the mix with Georgia to be an explosive playmaker for this offseason. Until he’s ready to play at full speed without thinking about his playbook, Sacovie White is expected to have a massive spring.

With injuries to Monroe Freeling and Earnest Greene being repaired this offseason, the tackle group is inexperienced. However, they go two groups deep with guys who’s been on the roster for multiple seasons. However, the newcomer Juan Gaston is perhaps the most intriguing player in camp this spring.

The Georgia Bulldogs are headed for a quarterback competition in the coming months. Yet, there is already a clear favorite on who will be the Dawgs next QB1.

With Carson Beck joining the Miami Hurricanes, the quarterback battle is wide open in Athens, Ga. Gunner Stockton returns after being inserted into the SEC title game versus the Texas Longhorns.

Stockton went on to start the Sugar Bowl versus the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with Beck remaining sidelined.

The former four-star faces competition from Ryan Puglisi and incoming freshman Ryan Montgomery. Bleacher Report’s David Kenyon predicted the starting quarterbacks for the most intriguing signal-caller battles this offseason.

Stockton is predicted by Kenyon to get the nod over the field thanks to his experience in the Dawgs’ final two games during the 2024 season.

“Sure, the final box score [against Notre Dame] isn’t gaudy,” Kenyon wrote on Feb. 21. “When you consider that he wasn’t a full-time starter and four QBs, at best, had a more effective game opposite Notre Dame, it looks pretty solid.

“As with Alabama, there’s a returning reserve (Ryan Puglisi) and incoming blue-chip signee (Ryan Montgomery) in the mix,” Kenyon added. “Similarly, though, UGA seems most likely to promote its backup and hand the offensive reins to Stockton.”

Stockton was a four-star signal-caller in the 2022 college football recruiting class. On3.com rated Stockton as the No. 9 ranked quarterback in the country as a recruit.

Kirby Smart brought a championship mentality from the Alabama Crimson Tide to his alma mater, the Georgia Bulldogs. This college football offseason, he will bring home another Georgia alum who previously coached at Alabama.

CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Wednesday that the Bulldogs are expected to add Garrett Cox to the program’s defensive coaching staff. Cox previously worked primarily with the TCU Horned Frogs linebackers.

The assistant also comes to Georgia with coaching experience from Alabama, the Michigan Wolverines and Tennessee Volunteers.

Cox served as an analyst at Alabama from 2015-18. Smart was the Crimson Tide defensive coordinator through the 2015 season before becoming the Dawgs head coach.

Cox also attended Georgia, earning a bachelor’s degree in Education. He worked as a student assistant for the Bulldogs football defensive staff in 2006 under previous head coach Mark Richt.

Cox also gained experience in the state as the video coordinator at Georgia Southern in 2007 and an assistant linebackers coach at Buford High School in 2008. He will directly work with Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, who, like Smart, also came to the Bulldogs from the Bama coaching staff.

Schumann has had some form of the defensive coordinator title at Georgia over the past six seasons. During this span, Schumann has also worked with inside linebackers.

Carson Beck made major waves this offseason when he opted to enter the transfer portal as opposed to entering the NFL Draft, especially in regard to his eventual destination.

After serving as the primary starter for Kirby Smart and Georgia football for 2 seasons, Beck originally declared for the 2025 NFL Draft in spite of a late-season injury in the SEC Championship Game. Beck later reversed course, withdrawing from the draft and heading to Miami as a transfer.

So, what led to that decision? While Beck will undoubtedly receive a nice payout via NIL with the Hurricanes, his final destination just happens to be where his girlfriend, Miami hoops star Hanna Cavinder, resides.

On Tuesday, ESPN’s “SportsCenter” made a trek to Miami’s campus to meet with various athletes, and that includes the Cavinder twins, Hanna and Hailey. When asked about Beck’s decision, Hanna was adamant that she did not have any extra say in the decision:

“Honestly, I was not involved at all. I know that a lot of people probably think that. But no, I was not involved at all,” Cavinder claimed. “It was honestly what was the best decision for him and where he was gonna fit and be able to be successful. I’m super excited for him. It’s very convenient. Obviously, you can’t beat Miami and the people here.”

Of course, Cavinder might be 100% truthful, but there is no way to entirely remove her presence from the decision. Simply by her relationship with Beck and location in Miami, it’s virtually impossible that those factors were not at least pondered by Carson Beck during his transfer process.

Ultimately, Cavinder still believes Miami is amazing and “the best decision” for Beck overall. We’ll see how that works out as the quarterback tries to revamp his NFL Draft stock after a career-high 12 interceptions in 2024.

“Obviously, the University of Miami is an amazing campus, and I think it was the best decision for him,” Cavinder said. “I think he’s gonna love the university. Obviously, I love Miami, so I will stay here. My family’s in Fort Lauderdale, but yeah, I’m super excited for him and to be able to watch him play.

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

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 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.”
