QUARTERBACKS
In each of his first two years, Jake Fromm has performed so well that a five-star teammate – Jacob Eason after the 2017 season and Justin Fields after last year – decided to transfer for enhanced playing opportunities. Fromm has a 165.79 career efficiency rating entering his junior season, which is the highest in program history, and the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder has thrown for 54 touchdowns while being intercepted only 13 times. Backing up Fromm are redshirt sophomore Stetson Bennett and true freshman D’wan Mathis. Bennett arrived at Georgia in 2017 as a walk-on and redshirted that season, and he left Athens after the 2018 G-Day game and played last season at Jones County (Mississippi) Junior College before returning with a scholarship offer. Mathis enrolled in January and went through spring drills, but then he underwent surgery in May to have a cyst on his brain removed. He has been limited this preseason.
RUNNING BACKS
The Bulldogs have showcased tailback tandems in recent autumns, with both Nick Chubb and Sony Michel eclipsing 1,000 rushing yards during the 2017 season and D’Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield turning the trick last year. Holyfield elected to bypass his senior season and went undrafted, signing a free-agent contract with the Carolina Panthers, and Swift is back for a junior season that may or may not involve sharing the load. Swift has averaged a robust 6.8 yards per carry for the Bulldogs, but patient senior Brian Herrien hasn’t been shabby, either, with his 5.3-yard career clip. James Cook is a smaller back by comparison who proved to be elusive last season as a runner and a receiver, while former five-star recruit Zamir White had his freshman year halted by a torn ACL last August. White was cleared for the start of August camp, but how he responds to tackling in games remains to be seen. Freshman Kenny McIntosh could give Georgia five quality backs.
