ATHENS — One day after DawgNation identified five offseason questions, ESPN zeroed in on one of them: The secondary.
It’s hard to know exactly how Georgia will line up on the back end now that Javon Bullard, Kamari Lassiter and Tykee Smith have been drafted into the NFL — all within the Top 100 picks, at that.
All-American safety an projected first-round 2025 NFL Draft pick Malaki Starks is one of the two returning starters, along with cornerback Daylen Everette.
But there’s a Dawg fight for playing time and snaps after that with Julian Humphrey, Daniel Harris and incoming freshman Ellis Robinson IV also working at corner.
The star and safety position opposite of Starks are also contested.
ESPN likes sophomore Joenel Aguero and JaCorey Thomas at the star spot vacated by Smith, while fifth-year senior Dan Jackson is working ahead of transfer Jake Pope and incoming freshman K.J. Bolden at safety.
