Kirby Smart Talks Gunner Stockton, Georgia’s Identity & Why He Doesn’t Care About 1,000-Yard WRs

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart joins The Locker Room live from SEC Media Days to discuss the Bulldogs’ 2026 season, Gunner Stockton’s leadership, Georgia’s offensive identity, the wide receiver room, coaching continuity with Mike Bobo and Glenn Schumann, and why winning matters more than individual stats. Smart also shares stories about Drew Bobo, Raylen Wilson, Zachariah Branch, and his experience watching the FIFA World Cup.

I’m not going to argue that it doesn’t help in recruiting because we’re up against that a lot when you say, well, you haven’t had a 1,000-yard receiver since so-and-so-and-so. What does it matter if you win? We are a team that believes in the culture being, “Everybody does better because nobody cares who gets the credit.”
