Woof™ For 16th Best Season in History of UGA Football #6 Final AP Poll (SEC Champs)

ATHENS, Ga. - Long before Drew Bobo signed with Georgia or played his first snap for the Bulldogs, he was just a fan and the son of a coach, who was excited to see his favorite players heading into Sanford Stadium. Bobo's dad, of course, is Mike Bobo, Georgia's Offensive Coordinator and quarterbacks coach, as well as a former Georgia standout quarterback. Mike Bobo (1994-97) now ranks ninth all-time at UGA with 6,334 yards. Mike Bobo and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart were teammates for three years and have remained very close ever since. A very young Drew was the ring-bearer when Kirby and Mary Beth Smart got married, though he doesn't really remember that day. Bobo, Earnest Greene III, Monroe Freeling and Micah Morris all started games last season. Playing for his dad is another dream come true for Drew. "There really haven't been any speed bumps or anything. I think he's done a really good job of keeping everything separate, like the father side and the coach side," Drew said. "I'm happy because I've spent so much more time with him. Being a coach, he used to say that he saw his players more than he saw us (his family). "Last Saturday, after the scrimmage, I went upstairs and watched film while he graded it. It's just nice to be able to do that and spend some time with him."

Center was already a position where Georgia didn’t have a ton of depth and the Bulldogs have taken a hit, as Malachi Tolliver is dealing with an ankle injury according to head coach Kirby Smart. Behind Bobo, Georgia has true freshman Cortez Smith and redshirt freshman Waltclaire Flynn. Smith was a four-star prospect out of Parkview High School. Smart added that Flynn had been dealing with a bit of an injury during Georgia’s scrimmage but that he was able to push through it. Smart added that Dontrell Glover has also worked some at center.
