Jake Wilkins: Carving His Own Georgia Legacy | 36

Описание: The Dawgs are in the house with a certified Georgia legend in the making — Jake Wilkins, the "Baby Highlight" carrying on his family’s basketball legacy while carving out his own path in Athens.

From dunking at 13 to adjusting to SEC speed, NIL deals, and gaming on the side, Jake opens up about everything — the pressure (or lack of it) that comes with being his father’s son, staying loyal to Grayson, and what keeps him grounded as he steps into the spotlight.

The crew gets into NIL culture, class checkers, fan-bike punishments, late-night golf sessions, gaming builds on 2K, and why Georgia hoops is slept on. Plus, Jake shares his SEC predictions, Chick-fil-A order, and favorite Athens hangouts — Dawg Nation, this one’s for you.
