PHOTOS: Kirby Smart sticks his tongue out plus other official visit highlights from social media
The first of three official visit weekends are wrapping up, and some of UGA’s important guests are already making their way back to their hometowns.
What went down? DawgNation will have a comprehensive report throughout the day on all of the official visitors. We’ll kick off the coverage with a tour through social media to see a different side of the official visit weekend. Who was in town? Check out the full list of official visitors from Friday.
What were some of the big takeaways? Well, for starters, new head coach Kirby Smart showed a laid-back side of himself while hosting recruits around the 15-yard line in Sanford Stadium.

Wilson had a pretty good seat location next to Smart and four-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield at the men’s basketball game against Texas A&M on Saturday.

Speaking of Holyfield…. His son was also on his official visit to UGA this weekend. Elijah Holyfield, a Class of 2016 commit at running back, seemed pretty chill out in Athens this weekend with new early enrollees Jacob Eason and Isaac Nauta.
Speaking of Holyfield, he has also appeared to settle in on No. 13 for his playing days in Athens. That was his high school jersey number.
