An early projection of Georgia football’s 2023 defensive depth chart
Last offseason, the Georgia defense heard all about how it would have to replace a generational unit. The members of the 2022 defense proved more than capable as they helped Georgia win a second-straight national championship.

Glad to see Tykee returning for a 5th year. Hopefully he can regain the form that led to him being named an All American during his first 2 seasons at West Virginia. The 2 injuries early in the 2021 season seemed to have slowed him down a step. Go Dawgs and good luck Tykee!!!
I have definitely taken the presence of both Smiths’ for granted and we will surely miss both a tremendous amount. The role of Chris Smith in the secondary QBing the coverage is hard to truly appreciate but he was outstanding and there were few holes/miscues in the coverage with him at the helm. Definitely have the talent to continue at their current high level but that leadership is often hard to quantify and sometimes harder to replace. Go DAWGS
The schedule for 2023 should give some of the younger players the opportunity for playing time early in the season. That will be valuable for some of the tougher conference matchups.
If someone on the coaching staff can convince David Daniel-Sisivahn that it’s not good when a receiver gets behind you, he may be able to help the defense! I think he has the raw talent to be productive in the secondary.
GO DAWGS!
I think Jamaal Jarrett makes an immediate impact and will bypass Washington.
Look for guys like Cole Speer, Anthony Evans & Yazeed Haynes also in the return game.
Believe Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins will be in the two-deep rotation at DT/DE. Too talented to keep off the field imo.
I'm so psyched about our defense. Three are way-to-early All Americans, one (Smael) could just as easily have been, and at least four others (Bullard, Lassiter, Stackhouse, Bear) have played spectacularly enough to be on everyone's radar.
We seem to have good-to-great depth at all 11 positions, with excellent, obvious starters in at least eight slots -- although the depth is so outstanding that most of those starters need to be considered tentative! The only three places where we don't have obvious starters yet: OLB, SS and RCB.
But at OLB, Chambliss looked good last year, and the depth in that position is outrageous. RCB and SS lack that that one experienced guy right now but again there are multiple player with huge upside (although Jackson certainly has played well, I'm concerned that he doesn't have the physical gifts of that are so crucial in that position; at the same time, he's one of those guys who constantly surprises people with his competitiveness).
Obviously, PK is a question mark. We've been very fortunate with Blankenship and Podlesny. Let's hope Zirkel or the freshman follow in that tradition!
Make no mistake, Bullard and Bouie will be on the field together.
This came true.
It helped Washington left the program but still correct.
Based on what I saw during G-Day, I'm revising my immediate impact statement. He saw very little action and poor technique allowed him to be easily moved off the LOS and on one play forcing Kirby to come over and provide hands on shoulder pads instructions.
Now that said, there's still plenty of time for the lightbulb to go off and Jamaal becoming a positive contributor in '23. He just has a longer way to go than what I'd originally imagined.
