Storylines On The 2026 Bulldogs

Georgia At A Glance: Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) checks in at No. 2 in the AP and Coaches poll for the third straight week. The Bulldogs feature seven returning starters on offense and are averaging an NCAA-best 59.3 points a game. A veteran line protects fifth-year All-SEC quarterback Gunner Stockton (NCAA-leading 259.3 passing efficiency rating) and paves the way for All-SEC junior tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens. The defense is allowing just 13.3 points a game (3rd in the SEC) with eight returning starters. This groups features All-American juniors KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV in the secondary and veterans in seniors Raylen Wilson, Jordan Hall and Gabe Harris Jr., plus junior Quintavius Johnson at the first two levels. The special teams unit is headlined by senior All-SEC placekicker Peyton Woodring. In 2025, the Bulldogs were one of the youngest teams in the country with 54 percent of the roster consisting of players in their first or second season in Athens. In 2026, the Bulldogs brought in only nine scholarship transfers, the fewest in the SEC.
