First up is rising junior defensive lineman Jalen Carter, who is considered a top-5 NFL draft pick by draft analysts. The preseason All-American is poised for a big year for a new-look UGA defense without Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt or Travon Walker.

Brock Bowers led the national champions in receiving last season as a freshman. With a year in the system under his belt and quarterback Stetson Bennett back at the helm, Bowers will have an even more important role in the Bulldogs’ attack.

Kelee Ringo put the college football world on notice when he sealed the deal in the national championship with the infamous interception returned for a touchdown. What went unnoticed by many was Ringo’s impact throughout the season as a lockdown cornerback. Also considered an early NFL draft pick next spring, Ringo will be the Bulldogs’ No. 1 coverage man in 2022.
