Three all-time Georgia Bulldog greats — Courtney Kupets Carter, Theron Sapp and Jeff Wallace — have been selected for the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Carter, one of the greatest collegiate gymnasts ever, and Sapp, one of four UGA football players to have their numbers retired, were selected for their performances as student-athletes. Wallace, who retired in 2023 with 818 wins and six national championships, received the honor for his legendary career coaching the women's tennis team.

Carter ended her career with a record nine individual NCAA titles, including three all-around titles. And she did that in just three NCAA Championships appearances, having missed the 2008 event because of a season-ending injury. Carter also coached the GymDogs from 2017-24.

Sapp, the fullback from Macon earned the nickname "Drought Breaker" when he scored a short touchdown on fourth down for a 7-0 win in 1957 that snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Yellow Jackets.

With Wallace, the Lady Bulldogs captured the first of the program's two NCAA championships in 1994, the first time Georgia hosted the women's tournament. They won it again in 2000 and played for the championship three other times. Wallace's teams also won four ITA National Indoor championships, as well as 20 SEC titles.

It is good to be Carson Beck right now. "I definitely feel like I'm in a good place in my life: mentally, physically, emotionally, all areas. I have no complaints," said the senior, a consensus preseason All-American and the starting quarterback on the No. 1 team in the country heading into Saturday's season opener against No. 14 Clemson.
