4. RB Nate Frazier

While Etienne was already discussed earlier, it's worth mentioning another running back Georgia needs to keep on their roster next season. Nate Frazier is only a true freshman, so he is unable to declare for the NFL Draft yet, but Georgia fans really need to hope UGA doesn't lose him to the transfer portal.

While Etienne would be the featured back next season if he returns, Frazier is the future of the position. This year as a true freshman, he recorded 129 carries for 634 yards and eight touchdowns. Frazier also added 10 receptions for 68 more yards through the air as well.

While those stats as a true freshman show why it is important to retain Frazier, the thing that makes Georgia fans the most confident in him going forward is how he stepped up while nearly every Georgia running back was hurt during this seaon. He was thrust into the starting role while three of his fellow running backs were out for an extended period, and he not only held his own during that time, he excelled.

So while Frazier is already a very good running back at the college level, his potential is through the roof if he sticks around in Athens for a couple more seasons.
