The ongoing quarantine has presented setbacks for everyone in the Georgia football program, but no group of players suffers more than the backup wide receivers currently on the roster.
If anyone needed to practice this spring, it’s them. Returning receivers Kearis Jackson, Tommy Bush, Matt Landers, Makiya Tongue and Trey Blount, and early enrollee Justin Robinson couldn’t afford a spring without reps with the new group of quarterbacks.
Besides a few weeks with D’Wan Mathis, and even less time with Carson Beck, Georgia’s receivers haven’t caught many passes from the quarterbacks. None of them have worked with transfer Jamie Newman.
