The Georgia Bulldogs head into the offseason following their 23-10 loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. Georgia played without starting quarterback Carson Beck, who injured his elbow during an SEC Championship win over Texas. With Beck heading to the NFL, sophomore Gunner Stockton is expected to take over as the full-time starter. Head coach Kirby Smart will try to build a scheme around Stockton as Smart tries to win his third national championship in Athens.

Georgia football roster news
The winter transfer portal window closed on Dec. 28, meaning players can no longer enter the portal. However, players who are already in the portal can sign with teams at any time, and Georgia's coaching staff will now turn its attention to finding the right players to add to the 2025 roster. The Bulldogs are the only SEC team without an incoming transfer commitment or signee, as they were fully focused on the College Football Playoff.
Players have five days after their bowl game to enter the portal, so Georgia players can enter the portal within the next five days. The Bulldogs already had nine players exit during the winter window, and they are going to lose players like Beck to the NFL. They were plagued by issues like dropped passes, lack of pressure on opposing quarterbacks and lackluster running back production this season, so those will be areas of emphasis in the offseason.
This was the worst rushing attack in the Kirby Smart era statistically, and they averaged just 2.1 yards per carry against Notre Dame. Running back Trevor Etienne struggled with injuries throughout the campaign, so the Bulldogs could choose to find another option at that position. They are also reportedly in the mix for USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch, who would be a massive addition to the offense. Get more Georgia football roster updates at Dawgs247.
