Georgia releases depth chart for Clemson in Aflac Kickoff game
ATLANTA, Ga. — Week one of the 2024 College Football season is finally here. Georgia, ranked as the No. 1 team in the nation, will soon open its season against No. 14 Clemson in the Aflac Kickoff Game. It’s inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium where both of UGA’s losses the past three seasons have taken place.
The game offers us our first opportunity to see the Bulldogs this season and it’s also our first look at a depth chart. DawgsHQ has provided that pre-game depth chart for you below.
Quarterback
Gunner Stockton
Ryan Puglisi OR Jaden Rashada
Running Back
Trevor Etienne
Branson Robinson
Roderick Robinson
Nate Frazier
Cash Jones
Chauncey Bowens
Dwight Phillips Jr.
*** Etienne might be listed as the starter but there’s little to no chance he plays in this game. The Georgia running back had an off-field incident this spring where he was charged with DUI and reckless driving. The DUI charge was dropped.
Wide Receiver (X)
Dillon Bell OR Colbie Young
Cole Speer
Jeremy Bell
*** When Georgia dismissed Rara Thomas this summer, Bell began working more at the X-receiver position rather than Z-receiver. He can play either spot.
Wide Receiver (Slot)
Dominic Lovett
Anthony Evans
Sacovie White
Walter Blanchard
Wide Receiver (Z)
Arian Smith
London Hummphreys
Michael Jackson
Nitro Tuggle
Tight End
Oscar Delp OR Ben Yurosek OR Lawson Luckie
Jaden Reddell
Colton Heinrich
Left Tackle
Earnest Greene
Bo Hughley
Jahzare Jackson
*** Jackson makes the three-deep, at least on paper, after joining the Georgia football program this July. The 6-foot-10 offensive lineman entered the 2024 NBA Draft but didn’t get selected. He decided to turn his attention to football despite not playing the sport since the eighth grade.
