NFL Draft is coming up!
The Georgia Bulldogs will conclude spring practice on Saturday, April 13, with the 2024 Spring Game, better known as G-Day. Kickoff from Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga., is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Bulldogs went undefeated in the regular season last year, but fell short of their ultimate goal of winning a national title after losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Head coach Kirby Smart has led the Bulldogs to 13 or more victories in the last three seasons, which has resulted in two national championships. However, he’ll have to replace several key pieces from last year’s squad, including Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey. G-Day 2024 will offer fans the opportunity to see Georgia’s new faces after the Bulldogs signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the country for the 2024 cycle and brought in six players via the transfer portal.
Spring practice began on March 12, and plenty of storylines have emerged since then. Which players should you keep an eye on when you watch G-Day on Saturday? If you want to see the latest Georgia football news, you should join Dawgs247, the 247Sports affiliate that covers the Georgia Bulldogs.

One storyline Georgia fans will be monitoring on Saturday is which players fighting for starting roles on the offensive line can separate themselves from the rest of the pack. The Bulldogs have some legitimate battles for starting roles among the big men up front. The biggest positions of interest for Georgia this spring are left guard and right tackle.
Xavier Truss has experience playing right tackle after filling in for the injured Amarius Mims, who’s expected to be a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, last season. Micah Morris can also bring experience to the offensive line after rotating in at both guard spots throughout last season. He notably stepped in at left guard in the SEC championship game when Mims re-injured his ankle and Truss moved back to tackle. Join Dawgs247 for the latest on the offensive line depth chart.
Beck is the starting quarterback heading into the 2024 season, but Gunner Stockton will use Saturday’s G-Day game to show his progression in Kirby Smart’s system. The redshirt sophomore has spent his first two years at Georgia learning the ins and outs of the Bulldogs’ offense. Stockton didn’t see the field as a true freshman in 2022 but he got more work last season, playing in four games and throwing for 148 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
Stockton served as Georgia’s second-string quarterback in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, a game which the Bulldogs won 63-3. He completed 6-of-10 passes for 96 yards with two touchdowns while also rushing seven times for 46 yards. Stockton is not competing for a starting spot this year, but his work on Saturday could go a long way as he looks to lock down the backup role and grow even more in 2024. See the rest of the details about Stockton’s big opportunity here.
Other storylines to monitor on Saturday include jersey number changes, Georgia’s elite defense and 2025 recruiting updates.
