Georgia live football updates for GDay

Georgia hosts its annual spring scrimmage game this weekend at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs are poised to enter the 2024 college football season after coming into college just shy of a playoff appearance last year. Despite losing 11 players to the NFL draft this season, the Bulldogs still return a large portion of their starters.

Georgia's spring game will feature the early enrollees from the 2024 recruiting class and some of the transfer portal moves they made over the winter. The Bulldogs signed a total of eight players from the transfer portal and 28 players during last year's recruiting cycle, which finished as the best class in college football. Many new faces that fans can see for the first time on Saturday.
