The 13:00 hour was very good for the football program in Georgia regarding the 2021 season. Quarterback JT Daniels, James Cook and defensive devil Devonte Wyatt have all announced their return for next year.
Daniels turned things around before 1:30 p.m., with Wyatt following next and Cook adding the fireworks on social media.

All three players played a key role for Georgia’s 2020 team. Daniels has started the last four games for Georgia at quarterback. The Bulldogs have won all four of those games, scoring 37 points and 486 yards per game. Daniels passed for ten touchdowns to just two interceptions during that team.
As Daniels gets a full off-season to work with his talented passers-by, he just needs to keep growing and improving. Daniels will also spend more time with Todd Monken, who has talked a lot about his relationship with the Georgia quarterback.
“Since we can move forward, a man like JT will definitely be able to spread the ball and understand where we want to go with football,” Monken said. ‘It’s an exciting time, especially for me. Hopefully we have the chance to have a legal off-season, to be able to study what we did, what the difference is that we want to change as we move forward. ”
Cook had his best season to date for Georgia, receiving 528 rushing yards and five touchdowns in eight games for Georgia. Cook did not get the chance to play in Georgia’s 24-21 victory over Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl because he was with his family after his father’s sudden passing.

Wyatt is an important part of the defensive line for Georgia as he has started every game at the defensive level for the Bulldogs this season. He picked up 21 tackles and 14 hits for the Bulldogs. Regardless of what the undecided Jordan Davis does, Georgia should now have one of the best and deepest defensive lines in college football next season.
All of the announcements generated a lot of hype and excitement around the Georgia program, as a number of fans, coaches, players and media members took into account the decisions of Cook, Wyatt and Daniels.
Good news to start the new year. @ 680TheFan https://t.co/TaJC1pcNxz

The incomplete agenda seems to be a major theme in these posts and is likely to be something we hear a lot in the 2021 season.
Georgia ended the 2020 season on a high note, winning its last four games of the season, including a win over a top-10 Cincinnati team to improve matters.
However, the Bulldogs will have a tougher test when they start the 2021 season, as Georgia play Clemson in Charlotte to open next season on September 4th.
And a number of people are already looking forward to what will almost certainly be a match of top-5 teams. The Tigers reached the College Football Playoff last season, but they need to replace like Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne.
