For Kirby Smart, roster certainty is the ultimate prize this offseason. While the saga around star running back Nate Frazier appears to be reaching a positive conclusion, the fate of two other crucial athletes remains a pressing question for the Bulldogs. Yet, positive updates have emerged regarding Frazier’s future.

Notably, Frazier hasn’t officially signed a new deal with UGA yet, despite ongoing conversations with agents over the past 48 to 56 hours. The word on the street is that folks are feeling pretty good about Frazier ultimately staying with Georgia for the 2026 season. All signs now clearly point toward Athens, according to Rusty Mansell of Dawgs, with the situation remaining under control.

“We feel good about Frazier signing with Georgia and being on this roster in 2026. A lot goes into something like this, and I don’t think it’s a bad look on Frazier, wrote Mansell, explaining about the future.

There are a lot of different people in the ears of these young men, but, at the end of the day, I think it came down to putting some extra thought into it and where he wanted to ultimately end his college career. That looks to be Georgia.”

The Bulldogs may struggle to find a suitable replacement for Nate Frazier if he decides to leave the program. It’s one of those classic “he’ll come around” situations during the offseason that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.

The positive news for Georgia is that the backfield wouldn’t be left empty-handed. After a solid performance last year, where Chauncey Bowens racked up 526 rushing yards and six touchdowns, he’s expected to be a major player in their backfield next year.

He provided a fantastic one-two punch alongside Frazier. Georgia fans can count on seeing more of his powerful, decisive running style every Saturday on the field.

While Bowens provides security in the backfield, the Bulldogs are also looking to add talent from the transfer portal, with their sights set on a familiar target: Florida State’s Kevin Wynn. The Georgia native entered the portal just a few days back after a freshman season cut short by injury.

Wynn’s injury-plagued freshman season was a blessing in disguise; by appearing in only four games, he preserved a year of eligibility, making him a top prospect with a full four years left to play.

At the end of the day, it’s primarily about roster shuffling, and these decisions are critical for the young men involved. However, it appears that, for at least two of these individuals, their future may still be in the state of Georgia, whether they’re returning to the Bulldogs or potentially joining them through the portal.

We’ll have to keep an eye on the final word from Nate Frazier as the transfer window deadline nears.

Georgia Bulldogs’ portal progress

The Georgia Bulldogs have been highly focused on the transfer portal this time. Kirby Smart is trying to find the right guys to round out their 2026 roster. They’ve already acquired five key players to help address some weaknesses.

To shore up a defense that showed cracks last season, Smart has already brought in reinforcements, adding Clemson defensive back Khalil Barnes and USC’s Braylon Conley to bolster the secondary. The offense wasn’t ignored either, with the addition of towering Georgia Tech receiver Isiah Canion and Auburn edge rusher Amaris Williams, who is expected to help the pass rush immediately.

Even with those five commits locked down, the Bulldogs aren’t done shopping just yet.

They are still actively chasing a few more key targets, especially at the running back position. Since they are uncertain about their RBs, they’re scouting guys like Dante Dowdell from Kentucky and Bryson Kuzdzal from Michigan to fill those spots and to ensure the ground game remains their identity.

They are also still trying to lure a talented safety, Gentry Williams from Oklahoma, to town. It’s all happening really fast because the transfer portal window is closing around the 16th. Therefore, the Georgia coaching staff is working diligently to persuade these remaining targets that Athens is the ideal destination.

It’s a bit like a last-minute recruitment rush as they finalize who will wear their red and black next season.
