Football season is here, the Georgia coaching staff is back in office today after almost a month off. They will likely not get an off day again until the bye week in October. I have recently spoken several trusted sources on how team workouts have gone over the past couple of months.
A few names keep popping up in those discussions.
*** Arian Smith carried over that momentum he built this spring into the summer. I have said it before and I will say it again, James Coley and Mike Bobo are both spending as much time as they can with him. I am sure they know what we all know — if he stays healthy, he brings some things to the table that few other players in the country can. He needs to be more consistent with his hands, and he has worked really hard on it. That hard work has shown during summer throwing sessions.
*** When discussing Jared Wilson , the conversations are quick and to the point. “He is a dude,” is what I hear a lot. I am telling you, this might be his only season as a starter for Georgia. He is a freaky athlete from that center position.
*** Christen Miller has shown flashes of being the guy he was thought to be coming out of high school. He had some injuries during his first couple of seasons and has had some inconsistencies off the field. Miller also announced he was going into the portal before taking his name out pretty quickly. He has just had those type of moments. To be honest, he had to grow up off the field and that happens with young men. I am told he has had maybe the best summer of any player in Athens. He has been great, his switch has flipped both on and off the field. I am telling you he can have very big season for Georgia and the position he plays that is massive. At least three people have had great things to say about him, so I feel confident in that note.
*** We’ve reported this several times now but KJ Bolden continues to impress and that has not stopped this summer in workouts and team sessions. I don’t think he starts at the beginning of the season, but I would not be shocked if he does by mid-season. You have to get a look at a kid at full speed during fall camp and see how they react to it, but I do not think the moment will be too big for this talented player. I am confident in this, he will play this year and he will play a lot of meaningful minutes.
*** Georgia will host a cookout this weekend and I am expecting mostly verbal commits in town. Elite 2026 OT prospect Jackson Cantwel l will be in town on Friday with his family. He has made several trips to Athens over the last year and half. 2026 QB Jared Curtis will be back in town on Friday and Saturday and you can bet he will definitely be spending time around Cantwell and family.
