Kirby Smart discusses everything you need to know about UGA players returning to campus

Georgia football players will return to Athens in early-June after the SEC approved voluntary workouts beginning June 8.

“We’re going to bring them back prior to June 8 so they can get a medical workup,” Smart said on Thursday on a Zoom call with UGA media members.

That’s the protocol director of sports medicine Ron Courson put in place for Georgia’s student-athletes who are returning after the shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They’ve got to have an extensive physical, they’ve got to have COVID tests,” said Smart.

Smart said that some players may even be tested prior to their returning to campus.
