2. Issac Nauta

We’ve waited to see Nauta look like the 5-star everyone from 247 Sports to ESPN touted him as and against Tennessee, he lived up to all the hype.

The true freshman tight end had a team-leading five catches for 83 yards including a 50-yard touchdown catch, where he got wide open and then outran the Tennessee defense to the end zone.

After the debacle in Oxford, Georgia and Jacob Eason needed some receivers to step up. The pair of freshmen Nauta and Ridley did just that against Tennessee.
