Kirby Smart, Georgia Add Another Recruiting Win as Surge Continues
Kirby Smart, Georgia Add Another Recruiting Win as Surge Continues originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs continue to bolster the class of 2026 during an important recruiting period. Advertisement The Bulldogs had yet to surpass 10 commitments in the 2026 cycle at this time last month. After a number of high-profile official visits, though, things have certainly picked up. Marking the fourth commitment over the last two weeks, Georgia received a pledge from in-state offensive lineman Zachary Lewis on Monday. Lewis (6-foot-4, 270 pounds) plays for North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia, where he ranks as the No. 32 interior offensive lineman and the No. 53 player in the state (247Sports). Georgia coach Kirby Smart leads his team onto the field before the start of the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Georgia hosted Lewis on an official visit over the weekend after he previously took an official trip to in-state rival Georgia Tech on May 30. South Carolina and North Carolina were also in contention for Lewis before he announced his decision. Advertisement 'I've grown up a Dawgs fan and now I get to be a Dawg!" Lewis said via On3's Hayes Fawcett. The Bulldogs began the month of June by landing highly touted cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick, the brother of former Alabama Crimson Tide standout and current Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Justice Fitzpatrick, out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ranks as a top-100 recruit and the No. 8 player at his position. Additionally, Georgia landed four-star defensive lineman Carter Luckie on May 31 after receiving a pledge from four-star wide receiver Ryan Mosley three days earlier. Advertisement Now holding 13 commitments to date, Smart and Co. sit fifth nationally and have an inside track to finish with another top-five class. Georgia hasn't finished outside the top five in nine consecutive years under Smart.

Raiders hero cops brutal snub as NRL fans lash 'unwatchable' Lachie Galvin promo
Angry footy fans have taken aim at Fox League's relentless promotional video for Lachie Galvin before his first game for the Bulldogs on Monday. And the decision from the NRL 360 panel to snub Canberra milestone man Josh Papalii in favour of the Canterbury recruit has sparked backlash around the NRL world. Galvin enjoyed a fairytale debut for the Dogs after coming off the bench and scoring a late try in his side's 30-12 win over Parramatta in the King's Birthday clash at Accor Stadium. Galvin's name was chanted behind the bench as he prepared to come on and the 19-year-old was given a standing ovation when he entered the fray in the second half, before being mobbed by teammates when he scored a late try to all but seal the win. "It was (a relief). For the fans to get behind me (after) being here a week only is pretty cool," Galvin said after the match. "That's all in the past now. I just want to come over here and play good footy and enjoy my footy, that is the main reason I play and the reason I want to be here." Galvin was a late call-up to coach Cameron Ciraldo's 17-man squad after initially being named amongst the reserves. And his inclusion added another dimension to the Bulldogs' attack after Galvin took over the halfback role from Toby Sexton and forced the No.7 to shift into hooker. The try and victory for the Dogs capped off a rollercoaster few months for Galvin, whose release from the Wests Tigers continued to dominate the headlines. But suggestions that the buzz around the 19-year-old would die down after his move to Canterbury proved ill-founded as Fox League bombarded viewers with a feature promo on Galvin before and during Monday's game. Narrated by Matty Johns, the package contained a montage of highlights from Galvin's short career at the Tigers and touched on the significance of his signing for the Bulldogs. The promo aired numerous times in the lead-up to the game and even during halftime as the 19-year-old waited to get on the field.

Galvin is undoubtedly a future superstar of the sport but the level of hype around the 19-year-old clearly turned fans off. "That package on Fox Sports about Galvin is so f***ing cringe. Massively over-rated and has accomplished nothing," one fan wrote on X. The Matty johns thing on Galvin is top level cringe. Unwatchable, so corny #NRLBulldogsEels — the digger (@darrenk06) June 9, 2025 Lachlan Galvin has achieved nothing in rugby league except a wooden spoon and he has a whole tribute dedicated to him by Matty Johns? What alternate universe am I living in??? #NRLBulldogsEels — kiki. (@silvermoonkiks) June 9, 2025 Enough with the Galvin piece already. I think we get the hype for this game because we are WATCHING IT. #NRLBulldogsEels — Jen (@gotothegymjen) June 9, 2025 Who gave the green light to showing the Galvin promo 4 times throughout the game. Promoting a drop ball and a forward pass ? #nrlbulldogseels — Seb (@Bazarati2096) June 9, 2025 Incredibly, the panel on Fox League's NRL 360 kept the Galvin love-fest going after the game by describing his try-scoring debut for the Dogs as their 'moment of the round'. The fact they chose to overlook Canberra great Papalii's record-breaking game for the Raiders on Sunday left many fans baffled. Papalii scored a fairytale double as he became the most-capped player in Canberra history with 319 appearances. He even kicked an impressive conversion out wide for the high-flying Raiders to help them record a gritty come-from-behind win over South Sydney. In terms of milestones, it couldn't have gone any better and Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said it cemented Papalii's status as one of the club's greatest ever players. 'This is not a rash statement, the greats of our club, the real greats, you've got Mal Meninga, Glenn Lazarus, Laurie Daley and Brad Clyde," the Canberra coach said. "You put Josh Papalii in there now and that is without any emotion, that's just fact, that's how good a player he is. 'If you had to pick the five greatest players to play for this club... there they are. I have had enough of FOX League making everything all about Lachie GalvinOh yeah Lachie Galvin got a try let's make that the moment of the roundPapalii's 2 tries and Conversion in his record breaking game was the best thing that happened this weekend#nrl #rugbyleague — Jarod (@jarod_h1) June 9, 2025 The #NRL wonder why so many fans are disenfranchised. Refs, easy target, incl. Bunker, BUT... the so called "experts", Braith, Buzz and the boys on 360 think Galvin scoring a nothing try on debut vs a 319* game record breaking vet who scored a double... P-LEASE!!!NRL fans wept! — Matthew Lippiatt-Sidman (@MLS_therealM3) June 9, 2025 And somehow his try was NRL360s moment of the round. Not a legend of the game becoming the most capped player in his clubs history, scoring a double and kicking a goal in the process… — Alan 𝕏 (@alanmans001) June 10, 2025 Everyone agrees but it's clear its only happening because for about a month every single Galvin story got an insane amount of clicks so now they're going to milk this cow to death — 9-2 and in desperate need of a bye (@pray4theoffszn) June 9, 2025 Pappa deserves every accolade from the weekend.A true warrior — Pottsy_80 (@HikingViking_80) June 9, 2025 with AAP

Georgia WR announces NFL retirement to pursue new career
Georgia WR announces NFL retirement to pursue new career Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Chris Conley has chosen to hang up the cleats. The 10-year NFL veteran is retiring to pursue a career in filmography, he posted on his Instagram. Conley started by saying, "When I was a kid I wrote down a set of goals. On that list was 'Play 10 years in the NFL.' Now that this goal has been accomplished, it's time to set sights on something new." He will be attending film school at his alma mater Georgia. Conley was a four-star wide receiver coming out of high school when Georgia recruited him in 2011. Conley played four seasons at Georgia, becoming on of Aaron Murray's most dependable targets. Through 49 games at UGA, he racked up 1,938 yards and 20 touchdowns. He was a part of the Bulldogs' 2012 SEC championship, but unfortunately, he's infamous for catching the pass on Georgia's final play five yards away from the end zone. The Bulldogs lost to Alabama 32-28. At the NFL combine, he put on a show, running a 4.35 and vertical jumping 45 inches. In the 2015 NFL draft, The Kansas City Chiefs selected him in the third round. In the NFL, Conley had stops with the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. Through 10 years, he had 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns on 226 receptions. With San Francisco, he played in Super Bowl 58, although he wasn't able to win it against Kansas City, but he made some outstanding plays on special teams. "The past 10 years have been a dream," Conley wrote. "Getting the opportunity to play in the league was an honor and whether it was catching touchdowns or blocking for them, I truly gave it my all."
