The back-to-back defending national champions have no shortage of talent returning for the 2023 season.
Even without names like Jalen Carter, Stetson Bennett,
Darnell Washington and Christopher Smith –
ESPN says the Bulldogs might have the best offensive and defensive player next season.
In a discussion among ESPN’s college football writers, one nominated tight end Brock Bowers,
the 2022 Mackey Award winner, and another nominated linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson.
Bowers is considered a top-10 2024 NFL draft pick.
As for Johnson, the leadership and reliability the first-year starter showed in 2022 was undeniable.
Both Bowers and Johnson will be pivotal for the Bulldogs as they defend their SEC and national titles next season.
