Georgia is hosting its annual spring scrimmage game in Sanford Stadium this weekend. The Bulldogs are on the verge of entering the 2024 college football season after coming up just short of a college football playoff appearance last year. Despite losing eleven players to the NFL draft this offseason, the Bulldogs still return a good chunk of their starters.

Georgia's spring game will feature the early enrollees from the 2024 recruiting class and some of the transfer portal moves they made during the winter. The Bulldogs brought in eight total players from the transfer portal and 28 players this past year's recruiting cycle, which finished as the best class in college football. A lot of new faces that fans will get a chance to see for the first time on Saturday.
