The Georgia Bulldogs signed the country’s top freshmen class, so it should come as no surprise that the Bulldogs are getting production out of a few of their young stars.
In fact, ESPN ranks (subscription required) two Georgia freshmen in running back Nate Frazier and safety KJ Bolden among the best true freshmen in the country. No other college football team has multiple players on the list.
Frazier has 17 carries for 111 rushing yards and one touchdown this season. He is Georgia’s leading rusher through two weeks and has shown excellent explosiveness.
ESPN ranks Frazier as the No. 8 best true freshman through Week 2. Frazier left Georgia’s 48-3 win over Tennessee Tech, but could have returned according to Georgia head coach Kirby Smart.
“Yeah, he could have come back. and we ended up holding him out. I’m not even sure it’s a shoulder, but I don’t know what significance. They came over to me and said he’s ready to go back in, but at that point we were moved on,” said Smart.
KJ Bolden made an impact right out of the gate against the Clemson Tigers in Week 1. Bolden, who was one of 13 Georgia true freshmen to make their debut in Week 1, is ESPN’s No. 10 (tied) best freshman. Bolden has six tackles and a sack through two games.
