It hasn\u2019t yet reached the halfway point, but that will come later this week. The Bulldogs haven\u2019t scrimmaged yet but they have held six practices and with that in mind, DawgsHQ is taking everything we\u2019ve seen and heard and we\u2019re putting together a depth chart. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk format before we get started. We\u2019re going three deep at each position on offense and defense. We reserve the right to go with co-starters when applicable and we\u2019re only using the players who are currently on campus. <\/p>\n<h2>Quarterback<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/carson-beck-18711\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carson Beck<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/brock-vandagriff-15115\/\">Brock Vandagriff <\/a><\/strong>\/ <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/gunner-stockton-47246\/\">Gunner Stockton<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beck has the clear leg up at this point and that\u2019s to be expected. But we do not believe this thing is over. If Georgia played a game today, Beck is behind center but you never know when Vandagriff or Stockton will gain significant traction and make their move. Mike Bobo has plenty of talent with which to work. <\/p>\n<h2>Running Back<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/kendall-milton-72773\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kendall Milton<\/a><\/strong> \/ <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/daijun-edwards-27910\/\">Daijun Edwards<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/branson-robinson-13423\/\">Branson Robinson<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/roderick-robinson-ii-101616\/\">Roderick Robinson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not going to put Andrew Paul on here until he\u2019s cleared for contact. Milton will miss the rest of spring but he\u2019s going to be at or near the top of the depth chart when healthy. Edwards is an ultra-reliable mainstay for the Bulldogs. Both Robinsons are having really good springs. Branson has run with great power and Roderick is a load even against the Bulldogs\u2019 talented defense. <\/p>\n<h2>Tight End<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/brock-bowers-15010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brock Bowers<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/oscar-delp-94650\/\">Oscar Delp<\/a><\/strong>Lawson Luckie<\/p>\n<p>Bowers is arguably the best player in college football and the other two are fighting for the right to spell him when he\u2019s tired and join him in the right packages. Delp has the leg up but <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/DEQEnBuRT_I?feature=share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luckie is going to push<\/a> him the entire way. <\/p>\n<h2>Receiver (X)<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/donny-marcus-38207\/\"><\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/donny-marcus-38207\/\"><\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/donny-marcus-38207\/\"><\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/donny-marcus-38207\/\"><\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/donny-marcus-38207\/\"><\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/marcus-rosemy-jacksaint-82969\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/rara-thomas-101547\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rara Thomas<\/strong><\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/dillon-bell-36974\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dillon Bell<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/tyler-williams-147298\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tyler Williams<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this whole group remains healthy, the \u201cstarter\u201d will be a week-to-week thing. The Bulldogs have three experienced guys at the top who can play winning football. Whoever has the best week of practice will earn the start and all three will play. Williams also has a chance to get in the mix, especially if there\u2019s an injury. <\/p>\n<h2>Receiver (Z)<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/ladd-mcconkey-77499\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ladd McConkey<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/arian-smith-7411\/\">Arian Smith<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/cj-smith-19941\/\">C.J. Smith<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McConkey played this position for Georgia last season and was a difference maker once he got over a tough stretch in late September\/Early October. He\u2019s going to wear a lot of different hats for the Bulldogs this season. Arian Smith is a big play waiting to happen when healthy and so far, so good this spring (knock on wood). I\u2019ve heard some chatter of late about C.J. Smith. The light seems to be flickering a bit with the speedster. He\u2019s playing a more physical brand of ball. <\/p>\n<h2>Receiver (Slot)<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/dominic-lovett-37503\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dominic Lovett<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/ladd-mcconkey-77499\/\">Ladd McConkey<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/arian-smith-7411\/\">Arian Smith<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve spoken with several sources who are impressed with Lovett. They like his competitiveness, speed, quickness, and physicality for a small receiver. Lovett can slide outside and play the Z receiver position and McConkey can perform in the slot. Smith will have a package in the slot where he has had some success. Mekhi Mews is going to be listed on the depth chart but he\u2019s behind these guys. <\/p>\n<p>Left Tackle<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/austin-blaske-8199\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin Blaske<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/earnest-greene-40326\/\">Earnest Greene<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/monroe-freeling-90172\/\">Monroe Freeling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We continue to hear good things about Blaske from this past week. Multiple coaches from the Georgia\u2019s clinic have told DawgsHQ that the fourth-year lineman is the real deal. He still has some technique things to clean up but he\u2019s in a really good spot. Holding off Greene, however, won\u2019t be easy. Greene is still getting back in shape after missing a lot of time with a back injury. This is going to be a battle and Freeling will get involved if he can get bigger and stronger post spring. <\/p>\n<h2>Left Guard<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/xavier-truss-122190\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Xavier Truss<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/micah-morris-87199\/\">Micah Morris<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/dylan-fairchild-39881\/\">Dylan Fairchild<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Truss had a great 2023 season and will be the starter as long as he\u2019s healthy. Morris, however, is making some noise. He\u2019s well on his way toward forcing Stacy Searels to use a rotation of some sort. Fairchild is having a good spring as well. <\/p>\n<h2>Center<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/sedrick-van-pran-105812\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sedrick Van Pran<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/jared-wilson-56842\/\">Jared Wilson<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/drew-bobo-38945\/\">Drew Bobo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Getting Van Pran back was so massive and it\u2019s one of those things that can\u2019t be mentioned enough. If he goes down, Blaske will be the guy who steps in but for the purpose of a depth chart, Wilson gets the nod here. Bobo is probably No. 4 in reality but he\u2019s grinding away for his chance down the line. <\/p>\n<h2>Right Guard<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/tate-ratledge-110424\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tate Ratledge<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/micah-morris-87199\/\">Micah Morris<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/dylan-fairchild-39881\/\">Dylan Fairchild<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ratledge got off to a slow start in 2022 as he battled back from a serious foot injury the year before. He also had some other injury issues to overcome but that he did. He was one of Georgia\u2019s most dominant linemen by year\u2019s end. He\u2019s backed up by two guys we\u2019ve already discussed. Their arrows are pointing up. <\/p>\n<h2>Right Tackle<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/amarius-mims-4226\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amarius Mims<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/chad-lindberg-19598\/\">Chad Lindberg<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/aliou-bah-3751\/\">Aliou Bah<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mims has this job locked down and based on everything we\u2019ve heard, he will be staying at right tackle. Blaske or Greene would probably slide over if Mims has to come out, but Lindberg is in the mix as well. After hearing some chatter about Bah on the scout team last season, we haven\u2019t heard much about him this spring. <\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/georgia-bulldogs\/news\/georgia-football-depth-chart-mid-spring-projection-on-offense\/\">Georgia football depth chart: Mid-spring projection on offense<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia is in the midst of spring drills.
