Georgia Bulldogs true freshman stars could spark new trend for Kirby Smart as they lean on youth for 2025 college football season
Georgia Bulldogs true freshman stars could spark new trend for Kirby Smart as they lean on youth for 2025 college football season originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The 2025 Georgia Bulldogs are going to have to rely on several new starters on both sides of the ball and a ton of youth this season. Kirby Smart has commented on the lack of depth and difficulty in building the same classic monster rosters (for multiple off-seasons now) that were possible just a few years ago. Over the years Kirby Smart hasn't been one to force many true freshman talents onto the field unless they were absolutely ready (like Malaki Starks a few years back). Now, a handful of incoming true freshman stars could spark a new trend at Georgia, potentially forcing their way into action early. If that does happen, who will those stars-in-the-making be? Let's dive in. Advertisement Elijah Griffin, Five Star DL This is the easiest answer among all the incoming true freshman for Georgia. Elijah Griffin is near perfectly rated recruit, a top five overall player in the nation, and the number one defensive tackle in the 2025 recruiting class. Griffin has already been impressing this spring since arriving in Athens this past January. Whether its teammates, coaches, or media talking about Griffin, the reviews are always glowing. Christen Miller is locked in as one of the starting defensive tackles up front. Jordan Hall, Xzavier McLeod, and a few other veterans may get the nod over Griffin initially to start this fall. However, there's a good chance that Griffin works his way into the number three interior defensive lineman spot, if not number two alongside Christen Miller (who should be an early draft pick next spring). He's just too powerful, too technical, and too big, to leave off the field for long. View the original article to see embedded media. Talyn Taylor, Four Star WR The Georgia Bulldogs have had a difficult time developing and getting the most out of their high pedigree wide receivers for several years now, but Talyn Taylor could be the exception. Arian Smith and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint never put it all together consistently. Dillon Bell has done alright, but he still drops too many passes and doesn't run an extensive route tree. Tyler Williams and Anthony Evans disappointed greatly from the 2023 class. Nitro Tuggle was only in Athens for one year last season, and now he's already gone. Advertisement The disappointments have been frequent at wide receiver, but Talyn Taylor truly looks different. He's been an absolute stud on the 7-on-7 circuit for years now. Then last season he finally put it all together in full 11-on-11 as a senior, racking up over 1,600 yards and 24 touchdowns in 14 games. His route running and ball skills already look like the best of any Georgia WR recruit in the last five years. It might be tough to steal a starting spot this season for him, but he could easily become the first man on behind Dillon Bell or Zachariah Branch given his versatility and athleticism.

He's an absolutely ripped and ready X wide receiver from day one. At 6'4", 210 pounds with arrogant hands, Wiley projects to compete alongside Colbie Young and Noah Thomas as the go-up-and-get-it perimeter threat. Wiley doesn't have anywhere near the experience of the two seniors, but his ceiling is obviously higher than either Young or Thomas. He's more agile, faster, and seems to have better ball tracking than either of his X receiver competitors for Georgia. Don't be surprised if he's earning significant looks midseason and cashing in with every opportunity. Advertisement View the original article to see embedded media. Isaiah Gibson, Five Star EDGE Isaiah Gibson was one of the most highly coveted defensive recruits in the nation for several years prior to his finalized five star status for several reasons. For starters, he's a physical force at 6'4", nearly 260 pounds already who plays with strength, aggression, and finishes hard on every single snap. But one of the best reasons that so many teams wanted him is that he's an absolute dawg on the field. He's a vocal leader, a trash talker, and one who can actually back it up with his play. Georgia fans and his teammates are going to immediately gravitate towards him, loving everything he does for the Bulldogs. That kind of personality and talent mix almost always finds its way onto the field early. And frankly, after losing seven of their top eight pass rushers from a season ago (over 1,700 pass rush snaps gone), Georgia may not have any choice but to get him on the field early and often this year.

How to stay informed without doomscrolling
There is a lot going on in the news these days. Internationally, there are active wars raging. Domestically, there are daily changes in government policy at the national, state, and local level. There has been turbulence in the economy. To be a leader in any sector, you have to stay current on the latest world developments, but the constant parade of threats in the news is anxiety-provoking. What can you do to ensure you stay informed without getting sucked into the vortex of doom and find yourself staring at social media feeds, blogs, and a host of different news sources? It is worth thinking about the information you consume as being a diet like the one you have for your nutrition. And—just like with what you eat—you need a balanced media diet. Here are a few suggestions to help you stay informed without overindulging. Limit your intake To ensure your stay informed, pick a time when you can pay attention so that the news isn't blaring in the background or you're not just staring blankly at a website. Then, decide how much time you have to devote to the news. You can probably get a lot out of 15 minutes of concentrated reading. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter. Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Privacy Policy | Fast Company Newsletters I recommend setting a timer on your phone. When your timer goes off, finish the story and move on. It is important to use some kind of external reminder to finish. Otherwise, one story can lead to the next, which can lead to another. Before you know it, a much longer time than you intended to spend has gone by. You are particularly likely to over consume media when the news is stressful. Uncertainty can enhance your stress. By reading more, you give yourself the illusion that you know more, which will make you feel less anxious in the short run. In the long run, that focus on threatening news can keep you feeling fearful. Pick a variety of sources Even when the news isn't that anxiety-provoking, media know that they can best get your eyeballs when they find a potential calamity that they can scream from their headlines. So, even a slow news day has its stressors. I recommend that you pick a few reliable news sources—preferably ones that have a different underlying political slant or area of expertise. If the same story appears (in some guise) in all of the sources you use routinely, it is probably something worth paying attention to. Getting a variety of viewpoints also gives you different angles for thinking about the story. You also want to find sources that have expertise related to your particular industry. Most market sectors have companies, magazines, or outlets that cover news of particular relevance to people in your business. Those sources are also important, because they focus on events that may not be of wide significance, but will affect your work. In addition, those sources will clue you in to what other people in your industry are likely to be thinking about. Push yourself away from the table There will be some days when particular events or news stories capture you, and you're tempted to keep digging. Your fascination (or anxiety) about these stories may keep you reading well past your allotted time. That is when you need to engage your willpower and stop the madness. Fitness guru Jack LaLanne was reported to have said, 'The best exercise is pushing yourself away from the table.' Similarly, the best cure for news-induced stress is to close the paper, put down the phone, turn off the radio, and do something else.
