The Georgia Bulldogs are trying to build a foundation.
The Georgia Bulldogs are headed into their fourth game of the season and their first real test against the Oklahoma Sooners after outscoring opponents by 138 points over the first three weeks.
All eyes will be on an offense which despite being doubted all offseason long in terms of weapons around Gunner Stockton is scoring the most points in the country through three games. The Sooners defense will be a much more difficult measuring stick though, and new guys may need to step up.
One player who was expected to step into a bigger role on the offense this season was senior wide receiver London Humphreys, however he has just two receptions for 11 yards through the three games. He has not let that stop him from making an impact though, and Kirby Smart revealed an incentive in his NIL deal which is the perfect encapsulation of the type of player he is.
Humphreys Has NIL Incentive Tied to Special Teams Snaps
"He’s got a deal in his NIL incentive, the more special teams he plays, the more money he gets," Smart said. "So he wants to be on special teams. He wants to play every snap on special teams. I keep trying to take him off to save money and it’s not working...He’s worth it."
Smart offered more high praise for Humphreys saying that he cares more than any player on the team, never complains about his role and is one of the best blockers the Bulldogs have. It's clear that Humphreys is the kind of teammate that Smart sees as a role model for the rest of the group and someone who embodies everything that makes this program great.
While the bigger role on offense in terms of catching the ball has not yet happened for Humphreys, it's clear he wants to do whatever the coaching staff asks of him in order to help the team win games. Even if that does not mean being the one who gets the glory from actually catching passes.
Humphreys did catch a touchdown against Western Kentucky, and fans will hope to see a whole lot more of those because this is a player who deserves the chance to show fans everything he is capable of doing.
In a game like Georgia is facing this week against Oklahoma, different guys are going to have to step up to help this team get a win. Humphreys is exactly the type of guy who could do that both through the air and by helping with the run game.
It's fun for fans to know also that whenever he makes a play on special teams, not only is he helping the team win, he's also earning himself some extra cash as well.
