Under the radar at UGA is a tough question.
Is a 5 star backup (or former top 100 recruit) last year under the radar for 2023?

I will go Cash Jones.
2 star RB recruit out of Texas. He was not a walkon. He was committed to New Mexico St and we had to burn a scholarship to get him to Athens, GA.

He was our 6th string running back in 2022.
With the season grind, 3+ score leads in the 2nd half, and his athleticism as a receiver, he will be the surprise of our RB room.
~200 yards for Cash on the year.

I was going to list him with another couple.

Darris Smith, So. OLB - played WR and Edge in high school, record breaking track star, played at 6’6” 225 his senior year, now more like 6’6” 240.

Dillon Bell, So. WR - great length, kind of came on last year but I expect him to break all the way out.

Cash Jones, RSo. RB - Kirby called him out today in his media time, I think he’ll get a lot more reps receiving out of the backfield like Kenny McIntosh.

You beat me to the draw on Cash Jones. I had just posted Kirby's quote about him on another forum. He said he was the team's 'fastest back' and 'pound-for-pound the strongest player on the team...' whoa! Pretty impressive when we have guys on this team that can bench press the team bus and squat the freakun world! Is this the next walk-on-turned-legend for UGA?
