Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson are vying for starting roles on the offensive line.
Running back D’Andre Swift and receiver Mark Webb have been mentioned by coach Kirby Smart as players who can help the Georgia Bulldogs this season.
Yet not everything is transpiring smoothly for a touted freshman class entering today’s first preseason scrimmage. Smart said many of the newcomers have “hit a wall” and it’s up to him and his staff to do something about it.
“That’s our job,” Smart said in a news conference after Thursday’s practice. “We’ve got to lead them through it, because a lot of them have never been through consecutive practices this intense in their life. We’ve got to call them in, meet with them, encourage them and send them a text that night.
“Most of these kids have never had the adversity they’re running into right now.”
