The Georgia Bulldogs Will Be 2024 National Champions
After back-to-back National Championships, the Bulldogs had a “down year” in 2023 in which they missed the college football playoff. Even still, they went 13-1 and won their bowl game against Florida State by 60 points. For a down year, that was still pretty dang good. Kirby Smart once again has one of the best and deepest rosters in college football and Georgia looks to get back to the college football playoff, which expands to 12 teams this season. With all of that said, let’s take a look at the 2024 Georgia Bulldogs.

Westminster Christian eighth grader leaves massive impression on varsity baseball team
David Norris got the chance to play baseball for a high school that he wasn't quite yet a part. Norris was an eighth grader at Westminster Christian Academy this past spring when he was brought up to the varsity baseball team by coach Juan Ranero as an infielder and pitcher. He was one of four eighth graders to work with the already young high school roster during the 2024 season.
Georgia disrespected in recent SEC stadium power rankings
Georgia Bulldogs fans aren't going to love this one. David Cobb with CBS Sports released his power rankings for the best home-field advantages in the SEC. The conference boasts some of the loudest environments in college football, from Death Valley to The Swamp. However, Cobb's rankings have some baffling choices to some particular fans in the SEC, including ranking Georgia's Sanford Stadium as the sixth-best home-field advantage in the conference. "While the Bulldogs faithful deserve plenty of credit for the team's success at Sanford Stadium, much of that dominance should probably be attributed to the talent advantage amassed by UGA...

The Bulldog Nation lost a Damn Good Dawg in April with the passing of Don Leebern, Jr.
All of us bring about multiple images as we travel life’s journey, and we will be remembered differently by those with whom we cross paths. For the Payne Hall fraternity of the late 50s, there were some interesting characters with divergent and varying ways. Payne Hall was the athletic...

Missouri lands 4-star receiver over Georgia, USC, and UCF
The Missouri Tigers wide receiver room will add another phenomenal talent in 2025. Anyone who thought Missouri might be in trouble when Luther Burden and Theo Wease leave after this season should think again. It appears that the star-powered offense will remain in tact past this upcoming season, as Missouri continues pursuing elite-level recruits.
Another 4-star is projected to commit to UGA football
Four-star safety recruit Rashad Johnson is projected to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs over the Penn State Nittany Lions, Louisville Cardinals and Texas A&M Aggies. Steve Wiltfong of On3 recently made the prediction. He also predicted Georgia to land another four-star safety. Johsnon, who is a member of the 2025 recruiting cycle, recently pushed back his commitment date from July 1 to July 14. 6-foot-2, 185-pound safety plays high school football for South Sumter High School in Bushnell, Florida. The South Sumter defensive back also plays wide receiver. In his highlights, Johnson displays good ball skills and athleticism. The four-star frequently delivers tight coverage and is a strong tackler. Rashad Johnson is ranked as the No. 360 prospect in the nation, per On3. Johnson is ranked as the No. 49 recruit in Florida and the No. 33 safety in the country. Georgia does not have any commitments from defensive backs right now in the class of 2025, but fans should expect for that to change very soon.Georgia football currently has the third-ranked recruiting class in the nation behind Alabama and Ohio State. The Bulldogs have 17 commitments in the class of 2025.
Phil Steele gives Georgia football the No. 7 defensive line in the country
The Georgia Bulldogs are loaded with talent at several positions as they gear up for a 2024 season with high expectations again for the red and black. Many people see Georgia as one of, if not the most talented team in the country at most positions, including another preseason magazine that gave the Bulldogs a lot of love. Phil Steele's preview magazine gave Georgia plenty of attention in its preseason position group rankings. Steele has ranked Georgia's quarterback room as No. 2 in the country, its running back group at No. 9, its offensive line group ranked No. 1 in the country, and its pass catchers ranked No. 16 in the country.
Georgia football’s remaining 2025 five-star recruiting targets
With last week’s edition of edge rusher Isaiah Gibson, Georgia now has three five-star commits in the Class of 2025. Kirby Smart and his staff have amassed a 17-player class that ranks No. 3 in the country only behind Ohio State and Alabama, but the Dawgs are far from done.
