UCLA Bruins long snapper Beau Gardner has committed to Georgia football. Gardner played in 13 games in 2023 as UCLA’s primary long snapper on punts and field goals. Gardner has two years of eligibility remaining.
Georgia’s current long snapper, William Mote, could technically return in 2024. Mote has been with Georgia since 2019.
Beau Gardner joins former Vanderbilt wide receiver London Humphreys in committing to transferring to Georgia football. Gardner’s addition should help Georgia’s special teams unit. The Bulldogs saw another specialist, kicker Jared Zirkel, enter the transfer portal after the SEC championship.

Georgia has not had many notable plays from a long snapper in recent memory, which is a good thing.
