Georgia’s 87 for 2024
It’s that time of year again – Georgia’s roster is set and full. The 85 Bulldog scholarship players will come from among these 87. (Dan Jackson, a possible starter at safety, is not counted.)
It’s the final year of Covid eligibility rules. Brinson, Truss, and Stackhouse took advantage of an additional year of eligibility, so Georgia will have 12 seniors. That’s an increase from 9 seniors in 2023 and 2022, but the bigger picture hasn’t changed. Georgia had 28 juniors and seniors in 2023, and they’ll have 26 in 2024. The 36 freshmen and redshirt freshmen make up over 40% of the team – second only to the 38 in 2022. But 17 of those 38 freshmen in 2022 are no longer with the program, so Georgia only has 14 juniors this season. The Dawgs won’t have to start any freshmen in 2024 barring injury, but you can see several opportunities for playing time at certain positions.
Large incoming classes at defensive back and offensive line were needed to refill those positions which could be facing some depth issues after 2024. Georgia only took a handful of transfers this year, and they were primarily on the offensive side of the ball.
(Players are listed by class. Possible Day-One starters in a base formation are in bold – just a best guess. [R] indicates a player who has redshirted. Transfers are italicized.)
