2026 College Football Preview: Georgia Bulldogs
Artículo Completo 447 palabras
Georgia football enters 2026 as a national championship contender after winning its third SEC title in four years last season. The Bulldogs feature PFF’s No. 3 linebacker unit and a top-five secondary, but major turnover at wide receiver creates uncertainty around Gunner Stockton and the passing game. KJ Bolden headlines the defense after producing a 90.7 PFF grade since the start of 2024.

Georgia continued its dominance of the SEC in 2025, winning its third conference championship in four years and securing its fourth College Football Playoff appearance in five seasons. The Bulldogs’ run ended with a quarterfinal loss to Ole Miss, a team they had beaten earlier in the year.

Kirby Smart has now led Georgia to at least 11 wins in eight consecutive full seasons, excluding the shortened 2020 campaign. With another loaded roster entering 2026, there is little reason to expect that run of success to end.

Biggest strength: Back-seven of the defense

The strength of Georgia’s defense lies at the second and third levels. The Bulldogs boast our No. 3 linebacker unit in the country, led by two top-15 players at the position in Chris Cole and Raylen Wilson.

The secondary also ranks among the nation’s top five, headlined by projected first-round picks Ellis Robinson IV at cornerback and KJ Bolden at safety.

Biggest question mark: Which pass-catchers can step up?

Georgia didn’t have an especially explosive passing attack last season, and the lack of proven receiving options could make that an even bigger concern in 2026. Six of the Bulldogs’ seven leading receivers from a year ago are gone, leaving London Humphreys and Georgia Tech transfer Isiah Canion as the only players on the roster who recorded at least 200 receiving yards last season.

Georgia should be in good shape at tight end with Lawson Luckie and Eliyiss Williams returning, but the wide receiver room has far more uncertainty. At least one of Sacovie White-Helton, CJ Wiley and Talyn Taylor will need to emerge as a reliable target.

Quarterback: Gunner Stockton

the 2024 SEC championship. His 81.1 PFF grade ranked seventh among qualified SEC quarterbacks.

He is a tough, willing runner who generally executes Mike Bobo’s offense as designed, particularly when attacking the perimeter. At this stage, though, Stockton profiles more as a game manager than a quarterback who will consistently take over games. His 7.3-yard average depth of target was among the lowest in the nation last season, while screens accounted for 22.5% of his dropbacks.
