Departing Players

Fortunately for Georgia football, they aren’t loosing many players. But this is definitely an area where quality outweighs quantity.

Offensive players leaving include backup quarterback Grayson Lambert, wide receiver Reggie Davis who has been passed by freshman Riley Ridley and junior transfer Javon Wims in the last month, and offensive linemen Tyler Catalina, Brandon Kublanow, and Greg Pyke. Running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel might also leave early for the NFL Draft.

Defensively the Bulldogs lose backup linebacker Chucks Amaechi, and defensive backs Maurice Smith and Quincy Mauger. Dominick Sanders may leave for the NFL Draft as well.

So at the worst, Georgia is looking at 11 players from Georgia’s two-deep depth chart. But that number may be as low as eight if Chubb, Michel and Sanders decide to stay for their senior years.
