Lovett arrived at Georgia two years ago after a competitive transfer portal recruitment that involved LSU and Alabama. He caught 54 passes for 613 yards and four touchdowns in 2023, finishing second to Brock Bowers for the team lead in receiving yards. This season he hauled in 59 passes for 607 yards and six touchdowns. Two of those scores were instrumental in the Bulldogs dramatic come-from-behind, eight-overtime win over Georgia Tech to finish the regular season.
