It’s Super Bowl weekend, and while some former Georgia Bulldogs will be playing in the big game, some current and future Dawgs are making news. 

Transfer wide receiver RaRa Thomas, who was arrested last month on charges of assault and false imprisonment, posted a rather cryptic update on his Instagram page. In his stories section (where photos are only temporarily available) Thomas posted a picture of himself in front of his Georgia Bulldogs locker. No official word has come from the school or Thomas, but that could be a promising sign.

Georgia currently has the No. 1 recruiting class for 2024, and one more big-time recruit is trending to the Bulldogs for that class. Four-star athlete Aaron Butler out of Calabasas, Ca. is set to announce his commitment in July, but already his connections to Atlanta and UGA have most experts pegging him to pick Georgia.

Kirby Smart is continuing his work to fortify the already stellar 2024 class, offering four-star wide receiver Xavier Jordan out of Los Angeles, and four-star defensive back Dakoda Fields.
