Top returning players

Three-year starting quarterback Jake Fromm is gone, as is his dynamic backfield teammate D'Andre Swift. Replacing both, in addition to three offensive lineman, is not an easy task. Stetson Bennett is the only quarterback on the roster to previously play for the Bulldogs, attempting 27 passes over five games in relief of Fromm last year. Southern California transfer JT Daniels might also be an option at some point this season. Whoever ends up starting could be taking on a lot of offensive responsibility with not much time to get comfortable in Georgia's system. Fortunately, top wide receiver George Pickens is back after leading the Bulldogs with 727 yards and eight touchdowns as a freshman.

But once again, defense is the name of the game in Athens. Kirby Smart has eight players back who started at least eight games in 2019. Inside linebacker Monty Rice has 38 career appearances at Georgia and will start the year on the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award — given to the top linebacker in college football. Rice led UGA with 89 tackles last season in addition to three TFL and three pass breakups, earning him Second Team All-SEC honors a year ago.

Experience is a theme with Georgia's defense, and no Bulldog has more of it on that side of the ball than safety Richard LeCounte as the senior has started all but one game over the past two seasons. LeCounte finished his junior campaign with 61 tackles and led the Bulldogs in interceptions (4), fumble recoveries (3) and share of the team lead with a pair of forced fumbles. Check most defensive preseason watch lists and you'll find LeCounte's name. He made the initial cut for the Bednarik, Thorpe and Nagurski Awards.

Preseason ranking

Georgia sits at No. 5 in our preseason Top 25. Here’s the breakdown:

5. Georgia

UGA loses a bunch of stars, from QB Jake Fromm and RB D'Andre Swift to its experienced offensive linemen. But when it comes to talent, Georgia will again be up there among Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State. The Bulldogs got a boost with Wake Forest transfer QB Jamie Newman picking UGA. The Dawgs will also again have one of the top defenses in the country.
