The Georgia Show: A Freshman Feel to Preseason Camp
A Freshman Feel to Georgia Preseason Camp
It’s been a decidedly buzzy fall camp when it comes to the young pups on the roster in Athens. From the likes of well-known commodities, such as Juan Gaston to Elijah Griffin, and even surprises, such as Rasean Dinkins and JJ Hanne, there’s been plenty for first year players to write home about in terms of their contributions heading into the season.

We look at each and every angle, the players involved in the mix for those reps, and who might make the most sense snapping for Georgia should they be called upon.

This one may well determine some key spots, but what do we have circled for our checklist for the weekend? Whether it’s quarterback, safety, offense vs. defense (and who needs the bigger day, we take a look at what Kirby Smart and company will be keeping their fingers crossed for over the course of this one.
