The national champions are back at it as Georgia hosts their annual spring game that has seen no shortage of action, especially from the duo of quarterback Stetson Bennett IV and Arik Gilbert. Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart was on the call and certainly liked what he saw.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” Smart said. “Looked like he was throwing it away.”

Bennett’s hook up to Gilbert in the back of the end zone for the touchdown is something fans have been waiting to see for a while now, as Gilbert hasn’t played a game with the Bulldogs since transferring into the program from LSU before the 2021-22 season, but didn’t play last year due to “personal reasons.”

Gilbert came into college football as the No. 6 overall ranked prospect in the 2020 On3 Consensus and ranked No. 1 at the tight end spot. The Georgia native was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team at LSU after posting 35 receptions for 368 yards and two touchdowns.

The catch is Gilbert’s second of the day, the first one came during the spring game’s first quarter.

Jordan Davis, Travon Walker and Devonte Wyatt speak at G-Day

Jordan Davis, Travon Walker and Devonte Wyatt formed one of he most formidable defensive fronts in college football history last season on the way to a national championship, and now the trio is preparing for the NFL Draft. The former stars returned to Athens, Georgia on Saturday for the G-Day spring game and received their championship rings in the process.

During Georgia’s G-Day spring game, the ESPN2 broadcast cut to the sideline, where Jordan Davis, Travon Walker and Devonte Wyatt spoke with Katie George about their championship rings and the NFL Draft process.

Davis started things off by speaking about his championship ring, commenting on how good it feels to put it on.

“It’s beautiful,” said Davis. “We designed it ourselves, the seniors, so we knew what we were getting into. But it’s even beautiful in person. It looks a lot different from the mock ups. We love it, this is our baby right here.”
