Workout Wednesday: Gunner Stockton and the Bulldogs Embrace the Grind
As the Spring Ball & Recruiting 2026 season nears its conclusion, Kirby Smart’s squad maintains its championship edge in the weight room.
With the 2026 college football season on the horizon, the Georgia Bulldogs are not taking their foot off the gas. Under the direction of head coach Kirby Smart, the team is fully immersed in their summer conditioning efforts, ensuring they remain the frontrunners for the upcoming SEC Championship.
At the center of this focus is quarterback Gunner Stockton. Returning for his second full season as the entrenched starter, Stockton is leading by example during these critical Workout Wednesday sessions. His development is a cornerstone of the team’s aspirations, backed by the confidence of a program that recently saw twelve of its own named to the 2026 Preseason Media Days All-SEC Team.
The intensity in Athens is palpable as Georgia balances their preparation with high expectations. Having placed six players on the top-100 list for the 2026 season, the Bulldogs are proving that their success is built on the hard work happening behind closed doors throughout the summer months.
