Georgia football: seniors who could become legends with a great season
Safeties Dominick Sanders and Aaron Davis
Which brings us to the last two Bulldogs on this list; Sanders and Davis. Both have been starting for Georgia since their freshmen years in 2014 so their legacies may already be set.
Sanders enters his final season between the hedges with 12 interceptions. Just four shy of Jake Scott and Bacarri Rambo’s school record. But Sanders’ might not even get the chance to tie or break that record because he’s built a reputation of being one of the most dangerous defenders to throw to.
And that would be a disappointment in itself because he’s proven to be a pretty good player with the ball. In his career, he’s accumulated 256 yards on those 12 pics with one touchdown.
Davis however, will not be recognized for his stats, although they haven’t been bad. He will instead be remembered as a walk-on who earned a starting spot as a corner back his freshman season. Then lost his job as a starting corner only to move to the safety and nickel positions and continue to receive the same playing time.
Even as more talented defensive backs have come to Georgia on scholarships, Davis remains one of the best on the roster.
He’ll never be up here with Scott, Greg Blue, Sean Jones, Kirby Smart or Thomas Davis as far as great corner backs go, but he’ll be in a class of his own. How often to walk-on’s go on to be not only contributors, but starters for four seasons? He’ll always be remembered and praised for that.
