LIMITED TIME: Get Dawg Post coverage for $1 until the Alabama game
ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have plenty of wide receivers ready to make a big impact this fall.
One of them is veteran Dom Lovett. A former Missouri transfer, Lovett is coming off a successful 2023 season for the Dawgs where he caught 54 passes for 613 yards and four touchdowns.
The quick, shifty, sure-handed wideout should see plenty of passes come his way again in 2024. He’s built a chemistry with quarterback Carson Beck and is expected to be one of Georgia’s leading receivers this fall.
Lovet spoke with reporters this week about new transfer receivers, growth, and a young defensive back on the rise.

On helping new transfer receivers…
“It wasn't honestly just me. It was really a team thing. As a team after practice, we would sit down and watch film, and all of us go over our goods, our bads, our ups and our downs. If you can't take constructive criticism from your own teammates, then you won't be able to take it from anybody. So, we as a team, help each other. We don't nag on each other or get on each other. We just try to help each other out. We’re just trying to grow as a group.”
On preseason growth in the receiver room…
“I would just say all of us grew more comfortable with the playbook, understanding the scheme and not just looking at where you are on the field, but having conceptual learning, and learning the whole play instead of just knowing your position. It’s important because you might not be in that position at a different time. We might call a different formation, or you might be in a different role. So, just the biggest thing as a whole offense is just having interchangeable parts - people being able to switch to different positions and make sure we’re still doing our job.”
On Joenel Aguero…
“I'd say as far as confidence he also understands the scheme and conceptual learning. I feel like that the defense does the same thing that the offense does, which is switch. So, even with those younger guys and the older guys coming in, being able to be interchangeable parts and help out one another, I feel like that's going to make our whole team more versatile. So, everybody helping everybody trying to achieve the big goal.”
