SEC Media Days Set for Tampa
Next week, the Southeastern Conference will convene in Tampa, Florida, for its annual media days, a four‑day showcase that brings together the league’s 16 member schools. Journalists, sponsors and fans will get an early glimpse of storylines, preseason rankings and the narratives that will shape the 2026 college football season.
Georgia will be represented by three of its most prominent players: quarterback Gunner Stockton, offensive lineman Drew Bobo and linebacker Raylen Wilson. Each will step onto the podium to answer questions about the Bulldogs’ prospects and to provide updates on their own preparations.
Stockton, who finished last season as the team’s starting quarterback, threw for 24 touchdowns and added 10 rushing scores, a performance that earned him a seventh‑place finish in Heisman Trophy voting. His dual‑threat skill set has made him a focal point of the offense heading into the new campaign.
Wilson, now in his fourth year at Georgia, is expected to anchor a defense that has been rebuilding after a turbulent period. Coaches have praised his growth into a vocal leader, and his presence is seen as a stabilizing force for the secondary.
Bobo, a Second Team All‑SEC selection, will use his time on the podium to discuss his recovery from a season‑ending foot injury. The lineman’s return to full health is a key factor in the Bulldogs’ line‑of‑scrimmage plans.
High Expectations for the Bulldogs
Analysts and fans alike have placed Georgia among the top contenders for the upcoming SEC title. The Bulldogs open their 2026 schedule on September 5 against Tennessee State, a game that will serve as the first test of the new‑look roster.
Last year’s media days saw Texas earn the preseason SEC favorite designation, a distinction that Georgia hopes to claim this time around as it looks to translate its strong finish into a championship.
