Georgia junior wide receiver London Humphreys’ speed immediately made him a standout in college football. In fact, it was his speed that allowed him to hurt Georgia’s defense as he sprinted for a 49-yard touchdown in 2023 while still playing for Vanderbilt.

Humphreys transferred to Georgia for his sophomore season in 2024. He caught 15 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns.

Humphreys is set for year two in Athens and feels there are some differences in his game due to the coaching he’s received in Athens over the last year.

“I feel like I’ve seen more physicality in my game,” Humphreys told reporters on Tuesday. “Obviously, I have more knowledge than this time last year. So when you talk about my role in the room, I mean, I’ve been able to help young guys and teach, and kind of, I think I’ve done a good job setting an example and just showing guys how the receiver room should operate.”

Humphreys feels that Georgia makes players a ‘whole’ receiver. Players are asked to play special teams and block in addition to their duties catching passes and scoring touchdowns.

“You become a whole receiver at Georgia,” Humphreys said. “You’re taught to block, run, catch the ball, do all the things, but then you also have to play special teams. There’s a lot required of you, and that’s a learning curve. I think Coach (James) Coley does a great job teaching us that stuff.”

London Humphreys fitting into Georgia’s culture

Humphreys has taken to the culture at Georgia. He was one of the first to have the blue Guardian caps that signify ‘Fire Passion and Energy’ in preseason camp.

Humphreys takes pride in that. He felt he worked hard in the offseason program to try and prepare for a big 2025 season.

“I was proud to earn one, felt like a good accomplishment, but Coach Smart has been big on having a passion and fire for the game,” Humphreys said. “Mine came after summer workouts and everything at the beginning of camp. So, I mean, I just enjoyed those workouts, got better, stronger, faster, all the things. I was excited to get one.”

The Bulldogs open the 2025 season next Saturday against Marshall at Sanford Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
