Kirby Smart’s Wishlist: Which Bulldog Would He Bring Back?
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart faced the ultimate fantasy draft: if he could pluck one former Bulldog to help the current roster, who would it be? Speaking on the Bear Bets Podcast, Smart admitted his biggest team need is more pass rushers and mused over high-impact names. He cited former No. 1 pick Travon Walker and NFL pass-rushing phenoms like Azeez Ojulari, Nolan Smith, or even renegade disruptor Jalen Carter. He also joked that elite tight end Brock Bowers, though offensive, would “move the needle” on both fronts. With Georgia ranking 127th in sacks this season, Smart’s tongue-in-cheek roster upgrade underscores the Bulldogs’ quest for playoff dominance—even if it meant time-traveling talents back to Athens.
Imagine watching Kirby Smart host a reality TV show called “Bring Back My Ex-Bulldog,” complete with dramatic rose ceremonies in Sanford Stadium. Each rose would represent a hypothetical rep against poor pass protection. “Tonight, Travon Walker, you gave me eight sacks—even though you retired in 2022—congratulations, you get to stay!” Cue the confetti and a private jet to Atlanta for Jalen Carter. The only thing missing? Instant replay to see if Smart might someday recruit a hologram of Herschel Walker as a blocking back. After all, if you can’t sack the quarterback, why not resurrect legends to do it for you?
Nate Frazier: “I’d Die Playing for Gunner Stockton”
Georgia running back Nate Frazier lavished praise on true freshman quarterback Gunner Stockton, declaring, “I’d die playing for him.” Stockton has dazzled in his first eight starts, completing nearly 84% of passes for over 300 total yards and five scores in his latest outing. He’s a statistical marvel and an emotional leader, rallying the Bulldogs through pivotal wins. On the I AM ATHLETE podcast, Frazier and safety KJ Bolden spoke of Stockton’s no-nonsense work ethic and all-business mindset. Frazier called Stockton his “dawg” and marvelled at his unwavering commitment to Georgia Football, every snap, every practice, every game.
Welcome to the Cult of Stockton, where the sacred playbook is engraved on fresh helmets and followers chant fourth-down conversions under the midnight Athens sky. Nate Frazier didn’t just call Stockton “all business”—he practically offered his own life as collateral for the quarterback’s next Hail Mary. Local bookmakers have already opened a futures market on Frazier’s life expectancy, pegging it directly to Stockton’s passer rating. The only thing more overhyped than this marriage of RB and QB? The campus statue of Stockton that’s allegedly already under construction—complete with built-in speakers feeding motivational speeches during practice.
