- Georgia football radio broadcast will have new voices for upcoming season
Georgia football will have an entirely new team in its radio broadcast booth starting this season.
Jeff Dantzler, the longtime voice of Georgia baseball and women's basketball, is replacing Scott Howard on play-by-play.

He will be joined by former Bulldog offensive lineman Jon Stinchcomb as analyst.
The changes were announced on Friday afternoon, April 24, by Georgia.
Howard, in a post on X on Friday night, said moving off the football broadcast was not his call.
"Just to clear up any confusion, respectfully, it was not my decision to step away from the football broadcast," he wrote.
Stinchomb, who played for Georgia from 1999-2002 and has served on Georgia's athletic board, will be the third analyst on Georgia football games on radio in the last three seasons.
Former offensive lineman Josh Brock served in that role last season, replacing former Bulldog quarterback Eric Zeier.

Stinchcomb was a Pro Bowler with the New Orleans Saints , where he won a Super Bowl.
Howard has been on Georgia football games on radio since 1993, when he was an analyst alongside Larry Munson.
He replaced Munson as the full-time play-by-play voice in 2008.
Dantzler has been part of Georgia's pregame football show on radio with former Georgia kicker Kevin Butler. They also have taken calls postgame and hosted a Sunday "Bulldog Brunch" show.
"As a young kid growing up in Statesboro, loving the University of Georgia, this is a dream come true," Dantzler said in a statement. "It is a wonderful honor and the opportunity of a lifetime. Like so many of the Bulldog faithful, I live and breathe by what happens on fall Saturdays. I am committed to providing our fans the very best picture and analysis as our beloved Bulldogs continue to compete for SEC and national championships. I am extremely grateful and humbled to step behind the mic and share these moments with each of you. Go Dawgs!"

Howard will remain on the call for Georgia men's basketball games.
Former Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley will remain as sideline reporter.
"Jeff Dantzler, Jon Stinchcomb and D.J. Shockley share a tremendous passion for the University of Georgia," Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks said in a statement. "We look forward to many more iconic calls as they bring to life exceptional moments in Georgia Bulldogs history. We also thank Scott Howard for his nearly four decades of work for the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network, and we are thrilled he is staying on as our men's basketball announcer."
