When Georgia held its second day of spring practice on Thursday, members of the media were granted a 20-minute window to observe and take still photos of four full periods of the 2026 roster taking shape before our eyes.
DawgNation published an extensive practice report on Thursday afternoon, but we didn’t have a chance to share a thorough overview of what all we saw.
Cody Chaffins and Kaylee Mansell helped the DawgNation team fire off more than 3,000 frames of action from that practice viewing. We’ve boiled all of those down into about 75 or so of our best images of the new assistant coaches, new transfers, new true freshmen and also Bulldogs wearing new numbers.
That gallery is embedded at the top of the page and also below.

What should DawgNation be looking for in this collection of images? Here’s a teaser:
- Sophomore DT Elijah Griffin has added another layer of weight room and strength and conditioning to his frame. If there were such a thing as an All-UGA “First off the Bus” team, he’d be on it.
- He’d have plenty of company. There are some head-turning images of several Bulldogs in the photo gallery from the likes of new transfer WR Isiah Canion, OT Juan Gaston Jr., OT Jahzare Jackson, DL Nasir Johnson, TE Elyiss Williams and transfer DE Aramis Williams, among several others.
- Starting QB Gunner Stockton wasn’t limited in Thursday’s practice, but he was wearing a black compression sleeve on his leg during the media viewing period.
- With Gaston spending time at both guard and tackle during the media viewing, it appeared the first-time offensive line looked to be (from left to right tackle) Earnest Greene III, Dontrell Glover, Malachi Toliver, Gaston, and Jackson. Returning starting center Drew Bobo is out for spring practice, recovering from the season-ending injury he suffered against Georgia Tech.
- DawgNation captured its first images of new assistant coaches Larry Knight (EDGEs) and Phil Rausher (OL) working with the team. Knight is a new member of the staff. Rauscher was an analyst with the team last season.
- There were several Bulldogs we would place in the “Transformers” category, referring to players who have undergone a body transformation after their first full year in the Georgia strength and conditioning program. Elyiss Williams would be one of those players, but a lot of those guys are in Knight’s EDGE room. Isaiah Gibson, Darren Ikinnagbon and Chase Linton all seemed to have leveled up and added muscle mass and good weight for their second seasons as Dawgs.
- The first spring practice images of former 5-star OT Ekene Ogboko and many members of the Class of 2026 are included in the gallery. Ogboko was the only 5-star that Georgia signed in the last cycle. Ogboko, along with several other true freshmen, is featured in the gallery. The other freshmen DawgNation captured images of are Bryson Beaver, Khamari Brooks, Craig Dandridge, Brayden Fogle, Zykie Helton, Lincoln Keyes, Jae Lamar, Ryan Mosley, Kaiden Prothro, Jordan Smith, and Valdin Sone.
- Transfer DB Gentry Williams was working in a black jersey during Thursday’s practice. That’s typically a non-contact designation for either a QB or a player working his way back from an injury. It isn’t enough to keep them from practicing, but it is called upon to help them prevent reinjury.
- Former UGA receiver Kearis Jackson is now working with the team as an assistant coach after a brief NFL career.
