Georgia football injury, suspension report entering fall camp
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart updated the status of several ailing Georgia players during SEC media days. Overall, Georgia is pretty healthy entering fall camp. The Bulldogs don't appear to have a season-ending injury yet, but Georgia does have a pair of players recovering from knee surgeries in punter Brett Thorson and defensive back Ondre Evans. Perhaps Georgia's most important injury is at punter. Thorson is rehabbing a knee injury he suffered in the SEC championship, but has still earned preseason All-American honors this summer. "Thorson's coming back. He's done a good job," Smart said at SEC media days. "I can't sit here and tell you if he'll be the starting punter. It depends on his health. But he's starting some punting." Georgia is expected to start fall camp in early August as the Bulldogs prepare for the Aug. 30 season opener against the Marshall Thundering Herd. Georgia will not have to release an official injury report until Week 3's SEC opener at Tennessee, so the Bulldogs and coach Smart will likely be pretty hesitant to share details on injuries as usual. Expected to be ready for fall camp Running back Roderick Robinson (ankle) Offensive tackle Monroe Freeling (shoulder) Wait and see Tight end Jaden Reddell (ankle tightrope surgery) Outside linebacker Quintavius Johnson (ankle tightrope surgery) Punter Brett Thorson (knee) Defensive back Ondre Evans (torn ACL) Facing possible suspension Offensive lineman Jahzare Jackson (arrested) Kirby Smart is unlikely to publicly announce a suspension Jackson, but his arrest was significant and could even result in him being dismissed from the program. Former Georgia wide receiver Nitro Tuggle and offensive lineman Marques Easley were both arrested in the spring and left via the spring transfer portal, so we'll see if things unfold in a similar manner with Jackson.

Why one Texas player called Kirby Smart a maniac
Texas Longhorns senior safety Michael Taaffe was one of three Texas players in Atlanta for the 2025 SEC media days. Taaffe along with the rest of Texas is confident ahead of the 2025 college football season. The Longhorns have much to be confident about. Texas is returning a wealth of talent and advanced to the semifinals of the College Football Playoff last season before falling to the eventual national champion Ohio State Buckeyes. Texas missed out on one of its goals: to win the SEC championship. The Georgia Bulldogs beat Texas in Austin with a dominant defensive performance and then toppled Texas in overtime in the SEC championship game. Taaffe and Texas will try to beat Georgia again in 2025, but this time it will be on the road. At SEC media days, Taaffe was asked what will be the difference this year to give Texas a huge SEC win. "Coach (Kirby) Smart is one of the most competitive coaches I have ever been against in my life," said Taaffe. "Like, physically hearing him on the sideline when I'm playing defense. I'm like who is this maniac?" "And it is their head coach trying to, you know, get a call or get something in and I think the team is embodied by the head coach. And he does a great job of embodying what their team is all about and to be honest, I think they out-physicaled us in that first game, so we gotta come with a physical nature and a sense of pride and knowing that if we want to get to where we want to go in December, then we gotta beat those guys," Taaffe said. Georgia and Texas will meet in Sanford Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 15. The Georgia-Texas game will be UGA's final SEC game of the regular season and it could be a preview of the 2025 SEC championship. Georgia and Texas' rivalry grew significantly on the same day Georgia and Texas took the stage at SEC media days. Texas beat out Georgia for five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson and then flipped five-star Georgia defensive line commitment James Johnson. The Dawgs and Longhorns have a budding rivalry and are vying to be the best in the SEC. This article originally appeared on UGA Wire: Star Texas safety calls Georgia coach Kirby Smart a maniac
