Georgia Bulldogs Reload for 2025 Season, Eyeing SEC and National Titles
20 Aug
Summary
- Georgia coming off CFP appearance, SEC title win
- Bulldogs add top transfer receivers to help new QB
- Coach Kirby Smart using lower ranking as motivation
As of August 20th, 2025, the Georgia Bulldogs are preparing for the upcoming college football season with high expectations, though they are not considered the favorites for the national or SEC championships.
The Bulldogs are coming off a successful 2024 campaign, which saw them reach the College Football Playoff and win the SEC championship before falling to Notre Dame in the quarterfinals. In the offseason, Georgia has reloaded, adding talented receivers Zachariah Branch (from USC) and Noah Thomas (from Texas A&M) via the transfer portal to bolster their offense and support projected starting quarterback Gunner Stockton.
Head coach Kirby Smart is working to raise the Bulldogs' roster to the Georgia standard, despite losing several experienced starters, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines, as well as quarterback Carson Beck. The team's lower preseason ranking compared to previous years suits Smart just fine, as he plans to use it as motivation for his players to prove the doubters wrong and reclaim their spot among the nation's elite.
