Wide receiver Cole Speer is returning to the Georgia Bulldogs for a fifth season after earning an additional year of eligibility. He played 13 games last season, most blocking a punt in the SEC championship against Alabama, contributing to Georgia's win. Speer has primarily been a special teams player, making eight tackles, and will add depth to Georgia's receiving corps as they look for a top wide receiver. The Bulldogs will also adjust to changes in their special teams, with the loss of Ray Guy Award winner Brett Thorson.
