ESPN names Georgia football breakout player for 2020 season
Georgia running back Zamir White has grown accustomed to high expectations by now. He entered Georgia as the No. 1 ranked running back in the country and a 5-star prospect. He'd been tabbed as a potential x-factor this past season, finally healthy after a second ACL injury. So now, as he enters 2020 as Georgia's

Zeus, the White Knight, will be ready to joust come next season. Defenses beware - he's coming for you!
I look forward watching Zeus running over defenders next year. Go Dogs!
He's such a talented yet humble young man, and DGD. I'm really looking forward to him shin in '20.
Go Dawgs!
Watch Zeus truck that DB as the DB tries to knock him out of bounds on that video. Oh yeah!
Really looking forward to watching him play in 2020. No longer rehabbing. Not having to wait his turn for carries. And hopefully not having to deal with a stacked box. Should be something to see!
I'm happy for Zamir. He's been through a lot, and he'll finally come into the season fully healthy.
I agree that he will be even more of a threat because defenses won't be able to key on the run game near as much. He should have a great year...
Zeus has had two torn ACLs. I hope this area is not weakened in any way. Looked good against Baylor. He said it felt fine. Zeus is young and likely fully healed. He will need to be for this upcoming season. Lots of touches and physical pressure. We are all behind him!!! GO ZEUS! PS...wondering what signee Milton will look like in the SEC?
This year will be 2 years removed from his last ACL surgery so there repair has fully healed. He will continue to gain confidence in his cutting ability and drive. That is one of the biggest obstacles in getting back as close as he can to what he use to be. My son tore his ACL and PCL at the beginning of his junior year of high school. Surgeons told us then that once repaired that it would be stronger than before. However, regaining that confidence and removing the fear from his mind of it happening again would be an obstacle that different people would approach differently. He also said that once you tear one knee you have to work it out twice as hard because the tendency is to overwork your good knee to protect the repaired one often leading to a tear in the good knee. Thankfully my sons healed to what the doctor claimed to 95% and he went on to win region player of the year, all state first team, his teams most valuable player award and a few others his senior year.
i say all that to say Zamir will probably be even stronger next season because of the confidence he gained in the Sugar bowl with his knees under that load.
Yeah, I know I'm not the first to make the comparison, but I'm optimistically expecting a Chubb-like progression.
Congratulations to your son, Tripp. Quite the comeback...hoping for the same with Zamir. Looks good so far. He has Chubb-like potential.
I look for Zamir to have a great season. He is not Swift nor is anyone else on the team. Let Zamir be Zamir and he will get the job done!
It's very possible we have White running the rock between the hedges for only one productive season and then straight to the NFL. His first year-injury, second year-a few carries, third year-hopefully great and then bound for the NFL. I wish redshirt sophomores were not eligible for the draft. A redshirt for a five star is, in any form, most often a guarantee you will only enjoy their talents for two seasons.
Go Zamir, Go Dawgs!
Great kid and has worked hard to be able to recover and play he deserves all the good things he gets in life
