NAME YOU KNOW
Quarterback Justin Fields of Kennesaw, Ga., is expected to challenge returning starter Jake Fromm, who earned Southeastern Conference newcomer of the year this past season and led the Bulldogs to the league championship.
NAME YOU WILL KNOW
Running back Zamir White is a five-star talent, so he's hardly under the radar, but he injured a knee last fall in the North Carolina state playoffs. Should he be healthy by the start of the 2018 season, it's possible he soon would be the top tailback on the roster.
NAME YOU WILL MISS
Georgia was the leader last spring and into the summer for Stephon Wynn, the strongside defensive end from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., who is originally from Anderson, S.C. Alabama made a push, however, and was able to sign him in December.
