ATHENS, Ga. — Dan Jackson is entering his sixth college football season, marking his sixth preseason camp with the Georgia Bulldogs.
While for around 50 Georgia players, Thursday’s practice was their first taste of a Kirby Smart preseason, as a heat advisory was in place in Athens-Clarke County.
When asked if he had any advice for the rookies, the veteran Jackson mentioned the importance of being punctual, getting enough sleep, and establishing a routine.
