ATLANTA — Georgia coach Kirby Smart will be in the spotlight when the Southeastern Conference's annual preseason media gathering enters its second day.
After leading Georgia to the SEC championship and a spot in the national championship game in his second season, Smart is facing new challenges. The Bulldogs must replace such 2017 leaders as tailbacks Nick Chubb and Sony Michel and linebacker Roquan Smith.
Meanwhile, sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm has new competition from freshman Josh Fields, one of the biggest names in Smart's top-rated 2018 signing class.
Arkansas coach Chad Morris, Florida coach Dan Mullen and Mississippi coach Matt Luke also will speak on Tuesday.
This is the first year since 1985 the SEC Media Days have been held outside of the Birmingham, Alabama, area.
The annual event brings together coaches and players from the league's 14 schools. This year approximately 1,000 media credentials have been issued.
The event will return to Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham, in 2019.
