Shuman Farms announced a new partnership this week with Georgia star wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who made his first appearance of the season last week at Auburn. The season-long deal was facilitated by Everett Sports Management.
McConkey is the latest Bulldog to promote Shuman Farms’ sweet onions. Quarterback Stetson Bennett represented them last year. The onion is the official vegetable of the state.

McConkey’s return to the lineup is a big boost to Georgia’s wideout room. The junior amassed 89 catches for over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
McConkey missed Georgia’s first four games of the 2023 college football season with a back injury.
