Dez Bryant – Oklahoma State

The only player on this list who played against Georgia twice is the current Pro Bowl receiver of the Dallas Cowboys: Dez Bryant.

Bryant, as a freshman, made the trip to Athens with the Oklahoma State Cowboys to open the 2007 season. In his first game as a college player, Bryant only caught one pass for seven yards in Georgia’s 35-14 win over the Cowboys. Bryant ended the year with 43 catches for 622 yards and six touchdowns.

Georgia traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma to play Bryant and the Cowboys in 2009. But this time, Bryant caught three passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Oklahoma State’s 24-10 in over the Bulldogs.
