QUARTERBACK
Aaron Murray heads into his sophomore season as the preseason All-SEC quarterback based on his 3,049 yards and 24 touchdowns last season and the departures of Cam Newton, Ryan Mallett and Greg McElroy, who were drafted into the NFL in April.
Murray will be backed by sophomore Hutson Mason and freshman Christian LeMay. Though LeMay arrived as the more heralded prospect and went through spring practice after enrolling early, Mason has been able to remain No. 2 after being needed last year when Zach Mettenberger was dismissed from the program and Logan Gray switched to receiver.
Mason and Matthew Stafford are the only two quarterbacks in the Mark Richt era who did not redshirt as freshmen.
