This Sentell’s Intel rep on Georgia football recruiting offers up a projected look at the two-deep of a future UGA roster.
During the Kirby Smart years, Georgia and a recruiting haul ranked annually among the nation’s top three classes have gone together like red and black.
Except last year.
That crop of Bulldogs ranked No. 9 nationally on the 247Sports national Team Composite rankings. The Rivals Industry Ranking still had the Dawgs at No. 3 overall, but the 2026 class was generally considered the third-best in the SEC.
And now there’s this cycle. The current 20-member class has just 12 prospects rated four stars or higher.
The 247Sports Team Composite ranks this cycle at No. 9 nationally. The Rivals Industry Ranking has them at No. 14 overall. That’s seventh in the SEC.
To put that in the proper light, Smart’s classes finished no worse than No. 4 nationally from 2017 to 2025. There were six classes that ranked No. 1 or No. 2 overall.
This trend, set in the thick of the transactional NIL era, is going in the opposite direction.
Is the time coming when Georgia will no longer have a clear edge in talent over almost all the SEC? What about nationally?
Will that trend bring Georgia back to the pack? Since 2017, those elite recruiting classes have built teams that have averaged 10.9 wins per season.
In the short term, the 2026 and 2027 rosters are still scattered, smothered and covered in talent. Georgia’s 2023, 2024 and 2025 classes ranked second, first and second nationally, respectively.
The forecast gets interesting beginning with the 2028 team. With the way things are trending, will the Dawgs still have an elite lineup in 2028?
The quick-and-sloppy answer there is still very good. It just won’t resemble the assembly line of talent that DawgNation has grown accustomed to. The number of former 5-stars on the 2028 roster is projected to be half of what it has been compared to the first 11 years of the Smart era.
The number of former Top 200 recruits projected to be in the two-deep for 2028 looks like 25 blue-chips. That’s good, but nowhere near the classes UGA has traditionally stacked. The Bulldogs typically sign approximately 15 elite Top 200 prospects each cycle.
The Dawgs brought in just 12 signees who were Top 200 overall national recruits for the last cycle. They currently hold commitments from just seven Top 200 prospects in the 2027 class.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| 2026 roster | 2028 Two-deep* | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Former composite 5-stars | 13 | 6 | -7 |
| Former composite Top 50 recruits | 17 | 6 | -11 |
| Former composite Top 100 recruits | 27 | 13 | -14 |
| Former composite Top 200 recruits | 42 | 25 | -17 |
| *-Projected |
What does all that mean besides facts and figures splattered in a table?
Well, when Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss or Oklahoma’s John Mateer looks across the line to check the Georgia defense in 2026, their gaze will be returned by seven former composite 5-stars. There will be two more in the two-deep.
When Tennessee’s Faizon Brandon or Vanderbilt’s Jared Curtis does the same thing in 2028, DawgNation projects there will be only two former composite 5-stars in the two-deep that season. There will be one additional Dawg who earned a 5-star ranking from at least one service.
Why the drop-off? Well, the UGA defense did not add a single composite 5-star or Top 75 recruit in the 2026 class. The highest-rated defensive commit for the 2027 class is rated No. 166 overall. Barring an in-season flip, that means two straight classes in which UGA did not sign a Top 75 overall prospect for the defense, let alone a 5-star recruit.
The odd twist is that Georgia projects to line up as many as five former 5-star composite recruits on offense in 2028. That’s ironic given that this year’s team is not expected to start more than one former 5-star on offense to begin the season.
There are a few things to keep in mind. The NCAA’s new five-years-for-five-seasons policy adds a wrinkle. There’s also the fact that the redshirt freshmen reserves on the 2026 team will be fourth-year players in 2028.
This projection also accounts for several expected starters on the 2027 team to head to the NFL after their third season. That will include four of the 5-stars that UGA signed in 2025. That would be players like DL Elijah Griffin, LB Zayden Walker and TE Elyiss Williams. We also project former 5-star Talyn Taylor as a three-and-done player in Athens.
The projected offensive-heavy 2028 two-deep reflects what roster building at UGA should look like in the years to come.
OFFENSE:
| Projected starter | Backup | Long-term option | |
|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Ryan Montgomery (2025 4-star) or Bryson Beaver (2026 4-star) | Jayden Wade (2028 5-star) | Wade |
| RB | Kemon Spell (2027 5-star) | Jae Lamar (2026 4-star) | Spell |
| TE | Kaiden Prothro (2026 5-star) | Brayden Fogle (2026 4-star) | Dollar |
| TE | Jaxon Dollar (2027 5-star) | Lincoln Keyes (2026 4-star) | 2028 4-star Asa Wall |
| WR | Craig Dandridge (2026 4-star) | Tre Shields (2026 UR) | Shields |
| WR | TBD - Likely transfer portal | Thomas Blackshear (2025 4-star) | Taurean Rawlins (2027 4-star) |
| WR | Landon Roldan (2025 4-star) | Jamir Dean (2027 4-star commit) | Dean (Top 100) |
| LT | Ekene Ogboko (2026 5-star) | Tyreek Jemison (2026 4-star) | Jackson (Top 100) |
| G | Dontrell Glover (2025 4-star) | Kelsey Adams (2027 4-star commit) | Adams (Top 200) |
| C | Cortez Smith (2025 4-star) | Ty Johnson (2027 3-star | Johnson |
| G | Zykie Helton (2026 3-star) | Graham Houston (2026 4-star) | Helton/Houston |
| RT | “KJ” Jackson (2027 4-star commit) | Adams or Tyreek Jemison (2026 4-star) | DJ Dotson (2027 3-star) |
| K | Harran Zureikat (2026 3-star) | Connor Ferguson (2025 signee) | Zureikat (No. 1 K) |
These projections do not account for the full signing class the Bulldogs will bring in in 2028, but we’re not expecting more than two or three of those players to immediately crack the two-deep at Georgia.
The 2028 offense will feature 14 of the 25 former Top 200 national recruits on the 2028 two-deep, including all six of the former Top 50 overall prospects.
Georgia should deploy four of those former Top 200 prospects on the offensive line and at tight end. There should be three former Top 200s at quarterback, two at receiver and one at running back.
While it might be dicey to predict widespread stability across the board for many college programs, the Bulldogs are a national leader in that area. Several reports have noted that UGA is spending approximately 75 percent of its annual NIL resources to ensure its high school signees remain in the program.
We’ll take a brief lap around each position listed in the above chart.
Quarterback:
Starter: Ryan Montgomery (2025 4-star) or Bryson Beaver (2026 4-star). The hard part is figuring out which one of these guys will stick around to see their playing path at UGA. Especially if the Dawgs grab a transfer portal QB to start the 2027 season after Gunner Stockton exhausts his eligibility this fall.
The likely options are Montgomery and Beaver. Beaver has turned a lot of heads since enrolling as a true freshman after a brief stay at Oregon. Montgomery has clearly stated that he understood he might have to wait for his turn. If he’s the guy, he would have waited the same three years to start that Carson Beck and Stockton persevered for. He’s done some very good things with the No. 2s in fall camp.
Barring transfer portal madness, there should be at least one of these two still available for the Dawgs in 2028.
Backup: 2028 5-star commitment Jayden Wade. With all due respect to 2027 QB commit Colton Nussmeier, it has to be Wade here. That’s if Wade signs with UGA in December of 2027. As of now, that’s his clear plan, even though his recruiting will come full circle this winter. If Wade signs elsewhere, Nussmeier will be a solid No. 2 in 2028. If Wade signs, he could also become the eventual starter by the end of 2028. Most of the fan base wouldn’t believe that until they see it. Vegas would post some long odds on a 5-star QB signing with UGA and then starting at some point in his freshman season.
Long-term outlook: Wade. The thought of the No. 1 QB in the 2028 class signing with UGA and teaming up with the likes of the other 5-stars planned for future UGA offenses is exciting.
Running back:
Starter: 2027 5-star commit Kemon Spell. Spell is the consensus No. 1 RB prospect in the country for this cycle. If he’s not the guy in 2028, then something went very wrong. Spell should at least be a preseason All-SEC choice for the 2028 season. He’s the most talented RB that UGA has signed since former No. 1 overall RB prospect Zamir White back in 2018.
Backup: 2026 4-star Jae Lamar. Lamar only played two varsity seasons in high school, so he’s still pretty new to the position. He’s already flashed in fall camp by showing home-run hitter ability with his speed and explosiveness. The Dawgs would love to sign in-state standout Kevin Hartsfield out of Newton High in 2028 to add to the stable. Like Spell, he’s also the nation’s No. 1 RB for this class. We expect 2026 3-star Nick Peal and 3-star 2027 commit Noah Parker to provide solid depth here.
Long-term outlook: Spell. If all goes as it should, he should be a three-year starter and a Day 1 or Day 2 draft pick after the 2029 season.
Tight end:
Starters: 2026 5-star Kaiden Prothro and 2027 5-star Jaxon Dollar. With this projection, we expect both Ethan Barbour and Elyiss Williams to be NFL rookies in 2028. Prothro has been getting reps at the slot in his first year with the Dawgs. That won’t be the case in 2028. Prothro, backed by three years of Scott Sinclair’s brilliance, will be primed for his NFL money year at TE. He’ll be around 250-260 pounds and remain a major problem for defenders to deal with.
Dollar is the nation’s No. 2 TE for this cycle. He’s an incredible athlete and should already be shredding SEC defenses by the 2028 season.
Backups: 2026 4-star Brayden Fogle and 2026 4-star Lincoln Keyes. These two here would likely be starters at almost any other school in the SEC, let alone the nation. That’s the norm for Todd Hartley’s room. Keyes, a former Top 200 overall prospect, is the more traditional tight end. Fogle is the more athletic playmaker.
Long-term outlook: Dollar and 2028 4-star commit Asa Wall. Dollar is the type of talent who will likely spend only three years in Athens. Wall, a UGA legacy, committed earlier this year and will be a talented true freshman in 2028.
Wide receiver:
Starters: 2026 4-star Craig Dandridge, 2025 4-star Landon Roldan and a transfer portal addition. With Taylor off to the NFL, Dandridge projects as the new WR1. He is capable of stealing PT this fall. He’ll be a major weapon for the 2028 offense. We like Roldan as another starter for 2028. He saw action in nine games last fall and has bulked up. His future remains bright, given how well he runs and how well he has always tracked the ball. We see UGA continuing to add a key WR via the portal in 2028. That’s been the plan for the last few seasons with big hits like former 5-star Zachariah Branch and Georgia Tech transfer Isaiah Canion this fall.
Backups: 2025 4-star Thomas Blackshear, 2027 4-star commit Jamir Dean, 2027 4-star commit Taurean Rawlins and 2026 signee Tre Shields. Blackshear has had a strong fall camp. He could very well be an entrenched starter in 2028. Dean will be a rare Top 100 overall national prospect at receiver in Athens. He’s a remarkable athlete who’s already been part of five state-title teams (three football and two basketball) in high school. He’s also a 10.69 in the 100 meters and placed in the state decathlon meet.
Rawlins, a Terrrence Edwards protege, looks to be the next great slot in Athens. He’s fast and shifty and seems to win every contested catch despite his slight frame.
Shields was a crazy find for the 2026 class back in May. He’d been a basketball player who played just one season of high school ball. He had no stars, but UGA thinks they’ve stolen one in the vein of Ladd McConkey in years past.
It wouldn’t shock us in the least if former Carrollton star Ryan Mosley also became part of the five-man rotation here. He’s a great all-around football player. If 2025 signee CJ Wiley is still around, we would also see him among the six-man rotation, if not starting.
Long-term outlook: Dean, Rawlins and Shields. That trio also looks to be the future of the WR position moving beyond the 2028 season.

Offensive line:
Starters: 2026 5-star Ekene Ogboko (LT), 2025 4-star Dontrell Glover (LG), 2025 4-star Cortez Smith (C), 2026 3-star Zykie Helton and 2027 4-star Kennedee “KJ Jackson. Let’s be honest here. It is tough to predict the line of scrimmage starters three full seasons from now, but the UGA depth makes it a lot easier. Ogboko, a former 5-star, already feels like the backup LT and RT right now during the fall camp of his true freshman season. He could take over for Earnest Greene at LT in 2027.
Glover, who could be a four-year starter, is projected to stay for a fourth year because he will not have the prototype size of a Sunday guard. He’s listed at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds right now. There aren’t many guards with his body type taken on Day 1 or Day 2 of the NFL Draft. The same can be said for Helton. While he might lack ideal size, he could be a three-year starter for the 2028 offense. He’s basically running with the 1s right now as a true freshman.
Jackson is the logical pick at RT. He’ll be in his second season and has the NFL-prototype size to play LT or RT. We expect Juan Gaston to be in the NFL. The center is the one here that really required a lot of thought. Smith could be a capable backup for Drew Bobo this fall and then the clear-cut starter in 2027. We have a hunch he might want to stay in Athens for another season. He was once rated as the No. 1 center prospect in America at Parkview High.
Backups: 2026 4-star Tyreek Jemison, 2027 4-star commit Kelsey Adams (LG), 2027 3-star commit Ty Johnson (C), 2026 4-star Graham Houston (RG) and 2027 3-star commit DJ Dotson.
The tackle spot gets cloudy, stretching things out to 2028. The Dawgs will aim to sign another Gaston or Ogboko-type in their 2028 class. That would be our best guess at a 2028 backup at left tackle. That’s the likely plan, but we do expect the Dawgs to fill the other spot with one breakout from the likes of 2026 4-star signee Tyreek Jemison, 2027 3-star commit DJ Dotson and 2025 4-star Dennis Uzochukwu.
Jemison and Uzochukwu were both Top 300 overall prospects coming out of high school. Dotson, at 6-foot-7 and 340 pounds, has elite scouting grades for his size and length. He also moves well for that size.
Adams committed to UGA as a tackle. We see him in that Gaston and Tate Ratledge mold; he signs as a tackle but shifts to guard so he can get on the field faster. He’s got ALL-SEC potential as a guard, but he could also be the backup RT as well. Johnson, a UGA legacy, is already cross-training at center while he’s in high school. He fits that Drew Bobo mold. 2027 3-star commit Abram Eisenhower will also get a look at center. Houston has already turned heads during his first year at Georgia. He’d be a solid starter if not for Glover and Helton.
Long-term outlook: 2028 TBD signee, Adams, Johnson, Houston, 2027 4-star Miller Westerfield and Jemison or Dotson.
Kicker:
Starters: 2026 3-star Harran Zureikat. Remember all the hype about Peyton Woodring coming in as a freshman as the consensus No. 1 kicker in the nation? That’s the same footing for Zureikat. The Pennsylvania native has a big leg and showed that off by drilling field goals from 54 and 57 yards as a high school senior. The 54-yarder was actually tipped, but still made it. He’s also kicked a 65-yarder in a workout.
Backups: 2025 signee Connor Ferguson: He’s one of four kickers on the 2026 roster, but he’s the only one besides Zureikat likely to be around in 2028. The former All-State kicker from Savannah kicked a 52-yarder in high school and drilled one kickoff last season against Marshall.
Long-term outlook: Zureikat
DEFENSE
The defense is projected to feature 11 of the program’s 25 former Top 200 recruits on the first and second teams.
The defensive line will have three; two of those will be at cornerback, two will line up at safety, and there will be two blue chips at EDGE.
There appears to be only one LB who was rated that highly. That’s a stark departure from the current roster. The 2026 linebacker group features four players who were rated as 5-star recruits coming out of high school.
The expectation here is that the Dawgs will have no more than two former 5-stars on defense for the 2028 unit.
| Projected starter | Backup | Long-term option | |
|---|---|---|---|
| E | Khamari Brooks (2026 4-star) | 4-star Darren Ikinnagbon (2025 4-star) | Olayiwola Taiwo (2027 3-star commit) |
| DE | Isaiah Gibson (2025 5-star) | Marcellus Young-Casario (2027 3-star) or AJ Lonon (2026 4-star) | Young-Casario and Lonon |
| DL | Valdin Sone (2026 4-star) | Waylon Wooten (2027 3-star) | Wooten (3-star) |
| DL | PJ Dean (2026 4-star) | Antwon McKoy (2027 4-star commit) | Dean (Top 125 overall) |
| LB | Terrence Penick Jr. (2026 3-star) | Elijah Littlejohn (2026 4-star) | Penick (3-star) |
| LB | Joakim Gouda (2027 4-star commit) | Temorris Campbell (2027 3-star) | Gouda (Top 200 overall) |
| LB | AJ Kruah (2025 4-star) | Nick Abrams (2026 4-star) | Abrams (4-star) |
| CB | Justice Fitzpatrick (2026 4-star) | Jordan Smith (2026 4-star) | Fitzpatrick(Top 100) |
| CB | Caden Harris (2026 4-star) | Jontae Gilbert (2025 4-star) | Harris (Top 100) |
| NB | Zech Fort (2026 4-star) | Adryan Cole (2027 4-star) | Fort (Top 250) |
| S | Tyriq Green (2026 4-star) | Seth Williams (2027 4-star) | Williams (4-star) |
| S | Todd Robinson (2025 4-star) | Blake Stewart (2026 4-star) | Cole (Top 200) |
| P | Wade Register (2026 3-star) | TBD | Register (No. 1 P) |
Defensive line:
Starters: 2025 5-star Isaiah Gibson, 2026 4-star PJ Dean and 2026 4-star Valdin Sone. This unit looks to be one of the most talented spots on the 2028 defense. We look for Gibson to take the Gabe Harris path with his time in Athens. He’ll be very important by the time his fourth year in Athens rolls around. Dean was a Top 125 overall recruit coming out of high school. Sone is already flashing future first-round traits. 247Sports had him as a 5-star coming out of high school.
Backups: 2027 4-star commit Antwon McKoy, 2026 4-star AJ Lonon, 2027 3-star Marcellus Young-Casario and 2027 3-star commit Waylon Wooten. McKoy just recently picked up his fourth star. He’s an intelligent player and is versatile enough to play up and down the line. Young-Casario will need two seasons to be ready to play, but he should be a 6-foot-7, 295-pounder who can play the “3″ or “5″ tech by the time 2028 rolls around. He’s a massive prospect with an 85-inch wingspan and can run a 4.8 in the 40.
Lonon is a UGA legacy who should also have his body ready for SEC rigor by his junior year. Wooten looks to be a productive nose up front for the Dawgs, even though the program hasn’t often looked at DL with his measurables in the past.
Long-term outlook: Young-Casario, Dean, McKoy, Lonon and Wooten.
EDGE:
Starter: 2026 4-star Khamari Brooks. The Dawgs should be very strong here at this position despite only targeting one EDGE in each of the 2026 and 2027 classes. They signed three in 2025, and we look to current sophomore Chase Linton to head to the NFL after next season. His future appears very bright. Ikinnabon was also the nation’s No. 94 overall recruit in 2025. He had his moments in a recent UGA scrimmage.
Brooks, the nation’s No. 167 recruit last fall, was rated a lot higher before a season-ending hip injury. Former UGA three-time All-American David Pollack has described him as one of the most intelligent young players he’s ever been around.
Backups: 2025 4-star Darren Ikinnagbon: To be honest, we feel like Brooks or Ikinnagbon could be the 2028 starter. It just depends on how each of them develops over the next two years playing for first-year position coach Larry Knight. Both have different skill sets. These two have so much potential that either could be the starter from week to week.
Long-term outlook: 2027 3-star commit Olayiwola Taiwo. Taiwo was a find for Knight. The 3-star is disruptive and twitchy. He’s got the type of wingspan (84-85 inches) that belongs on an elite offensive tackle prospect. Taiwo has always wanted to play for UGA and didn’t take any other official visits. Players with that type of mindset seem to thrive at UGA.
Linebacker:
Starters: 2026 3-star Terrence Penick Jr, 2027 4-star Joakim Gouda and 2025 4-star AJ Kruah. Despite the reduction in 5-stars from defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann’s room, this should still be an effective group. We project that former 5-star Zayden Walker will also be off to the NFL after the 2027 season. He was the last one Schumann signed back in 2025.
Pennick has done nothing but flash after coming in as an 11th-hour signee in the last class. He was likely headed to Coastal Carolina before UGA got involved. Gouda was one of Schumann’s top choices in the 2027 cycle. He’s a big-time thumper who brings elevated aggressiveness to this room.
Kruah has also shown he’s got a lot of upside so far this spring and during fall camp.
Backups: 2026 4-stars Nick Abrams and Elijah Littlejohn. This duo was the other two LBs that Georgia signed in the last class. Abrams has elite length. Littlejohn is quick off the ball and has shown a history of getting to the QB. They’ll both be capable options in their third seasons. Temorris Campbell, a 3-star commit in the 2027 class, will also fill out the two-deep here.
Long-term outlook: Abrams, Gouda, Littlejohn and Penick.
Cornerbacks:
Starters: 2026 4-star Justice Fitzpatrick and 2026 4-star Caden Harris. The Fitzpatrick family goes back a long way with Kirby Smart defenses. His older brother, Minkah, was a freshman All-American with Smart at Alabama. He’s gone on to a solid NFL career with several teams. Fitzpatrick didn’t get to Athens until late May of this year while recovering from a season-ending knee injury. He’s made remarkable progress, but we expect him to use 2026 as a growth year. He was a Top 50 overall prospect prior to the injury, but still settled in as a Top 100 recruit. Fitzpatrick came out of one of the nation’s top HS programs at St. Thomas Aquinas in South Florida. The versatile high-IQ playmaker already has good size and could help UGA at a lot of positions in the secondary.
Harris, another Top 100 overall prospect like Fitzpatrick, is very athletic. He was the nation’s No. 11 CB coming out of high school, but he’s going to need to add about 10-15 pounds to his frame before he’s ready to play in the SEC. That’s what former 5-star CB Ellis Robinson had to do, too. Georgia does not yet have a 2027 cornerback committed in this class. There’s no need to hit the panic button there with these two projecting beyond the 2026 season.
Backups: 2025 4-star Jontae Gilbert and 2026 4-star Jordan Smith: The top four options here are among the stronger position groups on the 2028 defense. The 6-foot-2 Gilbert could edge out Fitzpatrick or Harris as the starter. He has a big frame and was once committed to Ohio State while in high school.
Smith was rated as one of the nation’s top safeties coming out of high school last year. The former Top 100 recruit has gotten a good look at cornerback so far during his first year at UGA. He could also develop into a dependable starter here by 2028 or might shift back to safety.
Long-term outlook: Fitzpatrick, Harris and Smith.
Safeties:
Starters: 2026 4-star Tyriq “Ty Boogie” Green and 2025 4-star Todd Robinson. Green is coming on fast in his first year at UGA. The 2025 Atlanta Journal-Constitution State Player of the Year was brilliant in all three phases of the game in high school. When he held down a cornerback spot at G-Day, he showed a prime example of all that versatility. We envision him evolving into a KJ Bolden-type safety and an ALL-SEC player in Athens.
Robinson was the nation’s No. 4 ATH coming out of high school after playing extensively at quarterback at Valdosta. He’s already shown himself to be a fast, physical and smart player who will be a dependable SEC starter at safety.
Backups: 2026 3-star Blake Stewart and 2027 4-star commit Seth Williams. Stewart has lived up to his reputation as a ball hawk so far in his brief Georgia career. He also dazzled in all three phases in high school. Williams, a 2027 commit, has an ideal frame at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds. He’ll be a real asset in coverage and flying to the ball. He kicked off his senior season last Friday night by returning two kickoffs for touchdowns. He had 16 tackles and 3 TFLs the week earlier in a scrimmage. He only played the first half plus one additional series in that contest.
Long-term outlook: Stewart and Williams. 2027 DB commit Adryan Cole will also get a long-term look here.
Nickel:
Starter: 2026 4-star Zech Fort. Fort was a four-year team captain at boarding school powerhouse IMG Academy in high school. That’s unheard of. Those sorts of character and leadership traits play well at UGA. Now add that he’s a high-IQ player who is fast and physical. We saw him getting good work behind Khalil Barnes during media viewing on the first day of fall camp. Fort was always around the ball in high school. He could get a TFL one series, a forced fumble the next and also hold up well in pass coverage.
Backup: 2027 4-star commit Adryan Cole. Cole grew up dreaming of playing for Georgia. As stated before, those guys tend to work out. Especially with the versatility of Cole’s skill set here. He will do a lot of the same things for Douglas County this fall that Green did for Buford in 2025.
Long-term outlook: Fort and Cole.
Punter:
Starter: 2026 3-star Wade Register. The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder signed with UGA last December as the No. 1 punter prospect in America. He was a strong all-around player during his high school years at running back (2,500+ career yards and 26 TDs) and linebacker. He had more than 300 career tackles in high school. We expect to see him fake at least one punt in his college career.
Backups: TBD. We can’t feasibly project who the backup punter will be. If the Dawgs come together on offense the way they are intended to for the 2028 season, then the backup punter job won’t be of high importance.
Long-term outlook: Register.
