Arik Gilbert Did Not Travel With Team

Tight end Arik Gilbert did not make the trip to South Carolina with the Georgia Bulldogs.

Word broke on Friday night that Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert did not travel with the team to South Carolina. Gilbert transferred into the program from LSU but sat out the 2021 season due to personal reasons.

Gilbert was projected to play a large role in this Bulldog offense but had yet to make a substantial impact through the first two games. Head coach Kirby Smart remained complimentary of Arik, suggesting his best football remains ahead of him.

The Bulldogs also may be without wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, who sustained an ankle injury against Samford. He is listed as questionable for kickoff just a few hours before the game.
