On episode No. 1,412 (April 5, 2021) of the podcast, Georgia fans can hear a discussion about UGA adding former All-American defensive back Tykee Smith from the transfer portal.

Georgia football podcast: Tykee Smith addition a bold move from UGA to address major need

Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart made clear his concerns about inexperience in the Bulldogs’ secondary when he spoke to reporters after UGA completed a spring scrimmage Saturday. With that in mind, it should perhaps be unsurprising that UGA took aggressive action to add a player to that position group by acquiring a former All-American from West Virginia, Tykee Smith, out of the transfer portal Sunday. I’ll discuss more on that topic on today’s show.

20-minute mark: DawgNation analyst Jon Stinchcomb joins the show. Some of the topics covered include…

  • Thoughts on the Saturday scrimmage

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including some reportedly impressive stats from Alabama quarterback Bryce Young during the Crimson Tide’s scrimmage Saturday.
