Spring video recap: running backs

Spring camp has wrapped up, and we are going through practice video provided by UGA. The media isn't allowed to shoot video during the open periods, so this is one way our readers can see practice snippets for themselves.

Previous spring video recaps:

Quarterbacks

D'Andre Swift

The junior running back appears to be primed for another stellar season as RB1. Nagging injuries have often prevented Swift from joining national award conversations in the past. This year, increased depth on the offensive line and running back should help Swift dodge injuries and continue his development as an elite playmaker.

Brian Herrien

Brian Herrien is the Swiss army knife of the Georgia offense. He can run sweeps, rush between the tackles, and catch passes. Kirby Smart has lauded his contributions to the team during spring practice.

James Cook

Coming off an ankle procedure, James Cook should prove himself too explosive to keep on the sideline. The sophomore has unique quickness and can become a special weapon for James Coley's offense.

Not featured on video

Zamir White and Prather Hudson did not compete in contact during spring ball, meaning they were not featured on video. True freshman Kenny McIntosh will join them to be in the mix for carries in the fall.
