Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Colbie Young (8) pulls in a pass from Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) during the first half of a NCAA college football game against Alabama in Athens, Ga., on Saturday, September 27, 2025.

Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young has no timetable for a return after he suffered a leg fracture during the Bulldogs' 43-35 win over Ole Miss on Saturday.

Coach Kirby Smart did not have new details to share when he met with reporters this week.

"Expectations of him, first and foremost, are to take care of his foot, leg (and) his ankle," Smart said Tuesday. "It's a part of football. I reassured him that his work that he put in was noticed, and that's what he can control now. He has to control getting healthy."

Young was hurt on the third play of the game when he caught a 36-yard pass on a flea flicker from Gunner Stockton.

Young is in his fourth collegiate season and his second at Georgia after transferring from Miami. He has 23 receptions and 336 yards this season, ranking second on the team in both categories, and scored one touchdown.

"The physicality, the ownership, the accountability, the willingness to play positions, and then it was slowly coming out in the season with his play," Smart said. "We found that he was one of the hardest guys to tackle, so his touches went up. He was the best point-of-attack blocker. He was the best vertical guy, and it's unfortunate that it happens."

In 34 career games, Young has amassed 113 receptions for 1,415 yards and 13 touchdowns.
