Wednesday’s press conferences provided Tate Ratledge and Arian Smith with the final opportunity to address the media before the season opener. Both players are entering their junior year with the Bulldogs and play crucial roles that will contribute significantly to Georgia’s 2023 season.
Ratledge approaches the 2023 season with confidence, playing a pivotal role in the nation’s top-ranked offensive line. The offensive guard discussed his strong rapport with Sedrick Van Pran, Georgia’s center, stating, “On the field, I have more trust with Sed than anyone I’ve played with. Off the field, we’re like brothers, always together.” This bond was evident throughout the 2022 season, as Georgia’s offensive line showcased remarkable cohesion.
