Three sensational defenders Georgia football need to return

Georgia football linebacker, Channing Tindall

The second senior on this list, Channing Tindall, could use one more year in Athens as he finally began to shine during the 2021 season.

While, in our opinion, he is the least likely to stay among those on this list, it is still wishful thinking.

Tindall finished the season with 67 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 19 quarterback hurries and one forced fumble. However, he became such a key contributor down the stretch for the Dawgs, so if they can convince him to be a super senior, it would greatly benefit him and the team.

Tindall recorded a sack in the title game and had five pressures on Bryce Young, the Dawgs need this at linebacker for the 2022 season, and he could be the head dawg in charge.

The Dawgs need Tindall to come back because he would give them another experienced player to help lead. He could increase his draft stock by coming back because that extra year of playing time would only help him, plus his stats would look even better, with him likely being the starter. He played so much with Nakobe Dean this year, and the leadership from Dean shined through, helping Tindall get better and better.

Georgia football will reload on the defense, but these three young men have an opportunity to increase their draft stock even more by coming back for one more year. Smith, Tindall, and Beal would be the leaders the Dawgs need to keep that togetherness alive and going.

This year, we all saw what playing as one unit and doing it for each other did for the team, so why not be the next set of players to make the sacrifice and continue to leave a legacy.
