Georgia football defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann received a one-year contract extension following last season, keeping him under contract through June 30, 2028, with scheduled pay increases over the next two seasons.

In addition to Schumann, five other Georgia assistants received one-year extensions this offseason: wide receivers coach James Coley, offensive line coach Stacy Searles, co-defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson, defensive line coach Tray Scott, and defensive backs coach Donte Williams.
