“Four years ago, we chose Georgia to commit to greatness, to the family and to the G,” Davis said. “When you put on that red and black, there’s no better feeling, and every time we step on that grass, we never forget who we’re fighting for.

“Thankful for DawgNation, a family of 92,000 and a million more, and an endless love like none other.”

Davis will get some of the loudest cheers during introductions before the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs kickoff against FCS Charleston Southern at noon Saturday.
