A pair of Georgia Bulldogs will miss the Reese’s Senior Bowl after pulling out of the event on Monday.

 

The NFL draft showcase, made up of some of the top prospects in the class, takes place annually in Mobile, Alabama. Players participate in interviews and on-field practices before a game between the National Team and American Team takes place at the end of the week.

 

According to Senior Bowl executive director and former NFL scout Jim Nagy, Georgia offensive linemen Tate Ratledge and Jared Wilson have pulled out of the event. Additional details were not shared by Nagy, but both players were missing from the official rosters on Monday.

 

 

Ratledge served as an anchor on the Bulldogs’ offensive line for the last three seasons, including the national championship season in 2022. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound guard earned AFCA First-Team All-America honors as a senior in 2024.

 

Ratledge suffered an ankle injury in September that caused him to miss four games while recovering from surgery. He returned, albeit limited, for the Bulldogs’ SEC championship run and College Football Playoff appearance.

 

Wilson started at center for Georgia for one season after waiting behind future draft pick Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (Buffalo Bills). The 6-foot-3, 310-pound bruiser missed two regular season games due to a foot injury.

 

According to ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller, the Coaches Second-Team All-SEC selection is “dealing with the effects of a long season and will prep for the combine.”

 

Both Bulldogs are among the highest-rated players at their positions, with Ratledge coming in as ESPN’s No. 4 ranked guard and Wilson ranked as the No. 2 center.

 

 

 

 

The Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will meet again on Black Friday for the second year in a row, as announced during the ACC football schedule release show on Monday evening.

Georgia will travel to face Georgia Tech on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. The game will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., instead of Tech’s home venue, Bobby Dodd Stadium, as announced last fall.

“We’re thankful to our partners at AMB Sports and Entertainment for the chance to bring Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2025,” said Georgia Tech athletics director J Batt in October. “This opportunity to adjust our contract with AMBSE not only offers our fans a new experience in one of the world’s top stadiums, but also provides our department with significant revenue as we enter a new era of college athletics.”

In last season’s Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, Georgia defeated Georgia Tech 44-42 in a thrilling eight-overtime game at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. The kickoff time and TV broadcast details will be released later this Spring, with the possibility of a primetime broadcast, as in 2024.

The Georgia Bulldogs have won seven straight games against their in-state rival and now lead the all-time series 72-39-5.

Georgia, ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s Way Too Early Top 25, is slated to begin the 2025 season against the Marshall Thundering Herd in Athens on Saturday, Aug. 30. Georgia Tech will open its season the same day on the road against Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes.

 

 

 

Former Bulldog Champ Bailey reflects on Georgia’s 2024-2025 season

 

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Gabe Harris has recently undergone surgery according to UGASports. Harris posted a picture via social media with his left arm in a sling.

 

Harris is Georgia’s returning leader in sack production, which is a bit shocking because he recorded just two sacks in 2024. However, seven of Georgia’s eight leader sack producers from 2024 have left via the NFL draft or transfer portal.

 

Harris, who recorded 14 tackles in 2024, is expected to be one of Georgia’s top defensive linemen/outside linebackers in 2025. Harris played with a brace around his left shoulder for the later part of the 2024 college football season.

 

The 6-foot-4, 260-pound defender will likely miss time this spring. The Bulldogs need some young players to step up in their defensive line room considering all the experience and production that UGA is losing. Georgia returns just 21.6% of its sack production (eight of 37 sacks) from 2024. The Bulldogs are counting on Harris in 2025, so his recovery is one to keep an eye on.

 

Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling and tight end Colton Heinrich also underwent surgery. It is typical for numerous UGA players to have surgery following the end of the season.
