Georgia CB Daylen Everette coming back for third season as starter

Georgia’s defense sustained some losses this week but Friday brought welcome news as rising senior cornerback Daylen Everette announced that he’s returning for his senior season. The former four-star prospect has two years to play one.

Everette has started 28 straight games at Georgia dating back to the start of the 2023 season. He has been up and down at times, struggling against some big-time receivers but also putting his best foot forward in the biggest moments of 2024.

The Maryland native had a strip sack and fumble recovery at Texas in October to go with the second interception of his career. Then he picked Quinn Ewers off twice when the Bulldogs and Longhorns squared off in the SEC Championship game, earning MVP honors.

The 2023 season was Everette’s first as a starer and he responded with 29 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and his first career interception in the Capital One Orange Bowl win over Florida State. The 2024 season saw him double his tackle total to 58 in the same number of games while registering two tackles for loss, a sack, and those two interceptions. He also forced two fumbles.
