No. 4 – Davin Bellamy, Linebacker (Rising Redshirt Sophomore)
Every year it seems like Georgia sends a top linebacker or two to the NFL and fans worry how they’ll be replaced. Yet every year, Georgia has the best linebackers in the conference.
This year Ramik Wilson and Amarlo Herrera are headed to the NFL draft, and one of the players who could potentially step in to help fill that loss is Davin Bellamy.
Bellamy only saw some spot work last year, but he made the most of it when he was on the field. In 10 games off the bench, he totaled 17 tackles, including 10 tackles for loss, and got in the face of the quarterback a couple of times.
At 6’5, 240 pounds, Bellamy is the ideal Jeremy Pruitt linebacker size, and he’s got a lot of speed to burn in that big frame. He’ll get some serious looks and a lot of first team snaps in this year’s Spring drills.
