#4 K.J. Bolden | So. DB
On what he learned from Malaki Starks…
"Just being a competitor. Going every day at practice and trying to get 1% better every day. Every day is not going to be a good day for you, so you know you will have on and off days. Just going to practice every day trying to give 110% and trying to be the best you can be. That's the most I've learned from him."
#4 Oscar Delp | Sr. TE
On if the team feels a chip on their shoulder...
"We're just trying to be the best that we can be. I think every year, every spring, the standard at Georgia is different. The standard at Georgia is to win a national championship and win it all. We don't go into a season thinking that's not going to happen, I think every year I've been here I should've had a national championship and there's things that have happened that stopped that. I don't think it's a difference between this spring and last spring. I think it's a new year, new guys, new faces and I like the mindset of everyone."

#6 Daylen Everette | Sr. DB
On what he could do better this year...
"Just to continue playing the ball on the field and to sharpen up my man techniques and try to get more detailed. Even off the field to try and be a better leader for the younger guys and everybody else on the team."
#3 Nate Frazier | So. RB
On practice so far this spring…
"It’s the standard. I'm just trying to grow in every process and build a great relationship with all of my teammates. Like you said, it's my first spring here so I'm just trying to grow with the team and find our identity."
#57 Monroe Freeling | Jr. OL
On his impressions of Juan Gaston Jr…
"First impression, that's a big guy. Probably one of the biggest I've seen come to Georgia. He's a hard worker, always got a smile on his face, and he's coachable. It's all you can ask for."
#44 Jordan Hall | Jr. DL
On his health and how he is recovering from his injuries…
“I would not say I’m 100% yet but I am better than before so that’s a plus. I’d say I’m at 75-80%. I’m just trying to work my way back up. At Georgia, you are never going to be 100% though so it really does not matter.”
#7 Lawson Luckie | Jr. TE
On Oscar Delp and how he has developed into a leader on the team…
“Yeah, throughout the years since I've been here, I mean, he's grown so much as a leader. We always knew Oscar could block, Oscar could run, Oscar could catch, but throughout these past years, he's become so much more of a vocal leader and led by example.”
