Georgia quarterbacks Carson Beck and Brock Vandagriff have been splitting first-team reps during spring practice, while also battling for the starting job entering the season.

The two veteran Bulldog signal callers have been with the program for the last several years; however, they’ve had to sit behind former teammates JT Daniels and Stetson Bennett.

Now, Beck and Vandagriff are at the top of the depth chart with hopes of being the starter, although they are also duking it out with redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton, too.

As the battle heats up, each of them is working hard and is getting better with each rep.

“It’s just what you come here to do. You come to UGA for the competition. I knew that coming in,” Vandagriff said to reporters on Tuesday. “Coach (Kirby) Smart, he’s going to put the best guy out there. He’s going to give the best guy that gives Georgia the best chance to win, he’s going to be out there. It’s just being in this competition, it’s a blessing, and I feel like I’m going to be a better player for it regardless of the outcome.”
