Georgia football’s top players at every position during spring practice

As the Georgia Bulldogs gear up for the 2025 football season, spring practice offers a pivotal glimpse into the team’s depth and talent across various positions. Here’s an overview of the standout players at each position based on recent reports and analyses.

Quarterback

Gunner Stockton is anticipated to lead the Bulldogs’ offense this season. After showcasing his potential in the latter part of the previous season, particularly during the SEC Championship game and the playoffs, Stockton is expected to further refine his decision-making and command of the offense.

Running Back

The Bulldogs’ backfield is traditionally deep, and this year is no exception. While specific names have yet to emerge from spring practice reports, the emphasis will be on identifying versatile backs capable of contributing both in the running game and as receivers out of the backfield.

Wide Receiver

Georgia’s receiving corps is bolstered by key additions and returning talent:

• Zachariah Branch: Transferring from USC, Branch brings exceptional speed and playmaking ability. In his freshman year at USC, he accumulated nearly 1,200 all-purpose yards, including contributions as a return specialist. His versatility is expected to add a new dimension to Georgia’s offense.

Offensive Line

The offensive line is under scrutiny this spring, especially after injuries impacted performance last season:

• Monroe Freeling: The junior left tackle started the final five games last season before undergoing shoulder surgery. He’s expected to be limited during spring but is projected to reclaim his starting role in the fall.
