Here's all the latest Georgia Bulldogs news from around the athletics department and the nation.
Former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennnett's status with the Los Angeles Rams has been a question for nearly a year now. After leaving the team for undiscolosed reasons, the question has become whether or not the former Bulldog would be back in 2024. Sean McVay's latest press conference gave few answers.
McVay on whether he expected QB Stetson Bennett to be with team in 2024: "You know, I don't know that. I think that's a conversation for another time. I think he's doing better but I wouldn't be in a position to answer that accurately right now."
