Georgia football linebackers Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Marlin Dean
The position that will likely see the most competition for Georgia football is at the linebacker spot. While there are big shoes to fill inside and outside, Jamon Dumas-Johson and Marlin Dean are two guys who will be household names this season.
Dumas-Johnson already has some success under his belt, but as someone, head coach Kirby Smart said is getting opportunities. He showed some flashes, but there has been some growth there that finally has put things all together.
Now he understands how things go and can really focus on improving. With new linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe at the position, Dumas-Johnson has a chance to impress right away and show the new coach what he has.
Dean is on the roster as a defensive end, but reports suggest he is working out with the linebackers and looks quick. It seems like he made the switch, and that will be a deadly weapon for Georgia.
Dean has so much explosiveness in his playing style that seeing him play linebacker will present a few ESPN Top-10 moments.
He is going to have a big spring and prove himself at G-day. Dean is mean in all the right ways, so we expect him to hit the ground running in 2022. While it could take some time to learn the different techniques, Dean is physically gifted, which could come naturally to him.
He is on this list because people will know his name by the end of spring and won’t forget it. Dumas-Johnson is another that fans will learn even more this spring because they are taking advantage of the opportunity presented.
