Summer is over for the Georgia football team, as fall camp begins on Thursday.
Prior to taking the practice field, Kirby Smart and a handful of players will speak to reporters to preview the upcoming month of practices. As Georgia likes to make practices tougher than the games, the month of August figures to be a grueling one for the Bulldogs.
Georgia brings back a number of key faces from the 2023 team, but it still enters the fall with its fair share of questions on the offensive side of the ball. Below is our first crack at a depth chart for the 2024 season.
The Bulldogs have just over four weeks before they open the 2024 season against the Clemson Tigers in Atlanta.
Georgia football quarterback depth chart
- Carson Beck (Sr.)
- Gunner Stockton (R-Soph.)
- Jaden Rashada (R-Fr.)/Ryan Puglisi (Fr.)
Analysis: A lot has changed for Beck since his last fall camp. It wasn’t for certain that he’d be the best quarterback for the Bulldogs. After a stellar 2023 season, he enters 2024 as one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
This is a pivotal fall camp for Stockton. He’s got a significant experience edge when it comes to time in the Georgia system. If Stockton is to one day be the starting quarterback for Georgia, he’ll first need to win the backup quarterback job, as Beck did before him.
This will be the first fall camp for Rashada and Puglisi. We’ll see how quickly those two can pick things up, but both quarterbacks have the talent to make all the throws.
Georgia football running back depth chart
- Trevor Etienne (Jr.)/Roderick Robinson (R-Fr.)
- Branson Robinson (R-Soph.)
- Chauncey Bowens (Fr.)/Nate Frazier (Fr.)/Dwight Phillips Jr. (Fr.)
Analysis: As we get closer to the opener against Clemson, excitement for Etienne will build. But he won’t be Georgia’s only running back to factor into the game, as Georgia always splits carries so as to prevent injury.
Roderick Robinson figures to carve out a big role coming off his spring performance. As for Branson Robinson, his health will be worth watching. He’s still recovering from a torn patella tendon he suffered last August and while he’s making progress, he’s still got a ways to go before being game-ready.
With Robinson working his way back from injury, the door is open for one of the freshman running backs to make an impact. Frazier will be worth watching during fall camp as he enrolled at Georgia over the summer.
Georgia football wide receiver depth chart
X-receiver:
- Colbie Young (Sr.)/Dillon Bell (Jr.)
- Nitro Tuggle (Fr.)
Z-receiver:
- Dillon Bell (Jr.)
- Arian Smith (Sr.)
- London Humphries (Soph.)
- Cole Speer (Jr.)
Slot receiver:
- Dominic Lovett (Sr.)
- Anthony Evans (Soph.)/Michael Jackson (Sr.)
- Sacovie White (Fr.)
Analysis: Don’t get too held up by who starts and is listed where. Georgia will move its receivers around as a way to create mismatches.
Smart made sure to point out that White, just a freshman, could help the team this fall when speaking to Nick Saban at SEC media days.
With the indefinite suspension of Rara Thomas, more will be expected from transfer wide receiver Colbie Young. But the loss of Thomas doesn’t just impact those at the X position, as it will create opportunities for those further down the depth chart.
The strength of this group is its depth. That should help the Bulldogs weather any kind of injury issues that may arise during a physical fall camp.
Georgia football tight end depth chart
- Oscar Delp (Jr.)
- Lawson Luckie (Soph.)/Benjamin Yurosek (Sr.)
- Jaden Reddell (Fr.)/ Colton Heinrich (Fr.)
Analysis: Tight end may feature one of the only position battles on the offensive side of the ball, with Luckie and Yurosek battling to be Georgia’s second tight end.
Much like Beck at quarterback, Delp is the unquestioned top option in the tight end room. But Georgia will still use plenty of multiple tight end looks and one of Yurosek or Luckie can emerge as a major pass-catching weapon for Beck.
Georgia football offensive line depth chart
Left tackle:
- Earnest Greene (R-Soph.)
- Jamal Meriweather (R-Fr.)
- Michael Uini (Fr.)/Nyier Daniels (Fr.)
Left guard:
- Dylan Fairchild (Jr.)/Micah Morris (Jr.)
- Daniel Calhoun (Fr.)
Center:
- Jared Wilson (Jr.)
- Drew Bobo (R-Soph.)
- Malachi Tolliver (Fr.)
Right guard:
- Tate Ratledge (Sr.)
- Marques Easley (Fr.)
Right tackle:
- Xavier Truss (Sr.)
- Monroe Freeling (Soph.)
- Bo Hughley (R-Fr.)/Marcus Harrison (Fr.)/Jahzare Jackson (R-Fr.)
Analysis: Similar to the wide receiver position, don’t be too fixated on who is listed where when it comes to this group. Georgia will rotate at both guard and tackle. That’s not just to develop depth, but also find the best five-man combination for the offensive line.
Georgia could feel comfortable with Morris, Fairchild or Ratledge at guard. In a pinch, it could also move Truss inside, but Georgia wants to develop better tackle depth. This will be a big fall for Freeling and Meriwether. Freeling found the field for Georgia as a freshman, while Meriweather turned heads in the spring.
Wilson pretty quickly locked up the starting center job this spring. Georgia is enamored with his potential as he gets the chance to replace Sedrick Van Pran-Granger.
Keep an eye for the newcomers on the offensive line, with Georgia signing six offensive linemen in the 2024 class. Daniel Calhoun, at guard, may be best positioned to end up on the two-deep and travel roster.
