With the 2023 season rapidly approaching, the Georgia Bulldogs are gearing up to make a run at a third consecutive national championship.
They may have lost significant talent to the NFL draft, including 2022 Heisman finalist Stetson Bennett, but the Dawgs still have all the pieces in place to go for the three-peat.
Georgia may be familiar with winning national championships lately, but the program has not had a Heisman Trophy winner since Herschel Walker in 1982.
Could that change this year? FanDuel recently released Heisman odds for the 2023 season, and Georgia has three players with odds listed on the site.
Those players are quarterbacks Carson Beck (plus-3,000) and Brock Vandagriff (plus-8,000) and tight end Brock Bowers (plus-15,000).
Beck’s odds rank 14th, Vandagriff 33rd and Bowers 50th.
Beck will likely be Georgia’s starting quarterback this year. He has attempted 58 career attempts in 10 games, so he does not have substantial game experience, but that is the most of Georgia’s trio of returning quarterbacks. The former-four star recruit completed 15 of 22 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown during April’s G-Day.
Vandagriff came to Athens as the No. 17 player in the nation in the class of 2021. He shared first-team reps with Beck during spring practice leading up to G-Day. Vandagriff completed 13 of 25 passes for 135 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the game.
And there’s Bowers, who may leave as the greatest receiver in the history of Georgia football after putting up 1,824 yards in his first two seasons.
Bowers isn’t just a receiving threat either. In two seasons, Bowers has amassed 165 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
