Coach Smart had a lot to say after his team’s second scrimmage of Fall Camp. Specifically on the topics of Arik Gilbert, the progression of the freshmen, the backup quarterback situation and how the team is preparing for Oregon.
Formerly known as the best tight end recruit in his graduating class, and one of the best to ever play the position at the high school level, third year Arik Gilbert came to Athens with a good bit of hype behind him. He sat out last season, but has earned high praise after an impressive G-Day outing. That performance has fans curious about his progression this offseason.
