Oh shite... we are naming linemen too? I thought this was just backfield, with TE's in there because they are also receivers.
Doesn't matter, none of UGA's offensive linemen are individually noteworthy at the moment, but as a unit, with all of them returning from last year with even more depth, as a unit, they will be one of the best in the country.

His dad gave it to him
He is 100% by all accounts he lost some bad weight and put on muscle around the same size as Lacy last yr with more muscle and shorter

Fine, defense too. Front 7.
NT and DT and DE are all interchangeable in Grantham's 3-4 so the position listing should be taken with a grain of salt.
Nose Tackle
Chris Mayes- Juco early enrollee, came in January at a lean 330#, I heard he added weight, Rivals just listed him 315, I find hard to believe unless he got AIDS. Big long arms, almost freaklike. He's been held out of practice a few days as a precaution, concussion, could be smoke screen because offense was having a hard time getting anything done against him.
Mike Thornton- young, 315#, good feet, good lateral movement, plays low, he's officially listed as starting nose, which means absolutely nothing about who the actual starter will be, but it does show that Wilson and Grantham really like him.
Jonathan Taylor- Redshirt freshman, 6-4 336# listed on UGA site. He was a Rivals 4 star and #3 overall player in Georgia when recruited. We'll see how he does in the SEC trenches.
Defensive Tackle/End
Garrison Smith- Senior, the only starting lineman returning from 2012 team. Usually plays the end position, was responsible for the disruptions that gave Jarvis Jones alot of his sacks.
John Atkins- 6-4 300#, freshman early enrollee who had to sit out a year for grades, then got arrested for having expired DL, Richt said no suspension. Personal observation- the speediest and shiftiest of the D Line at the UGA Spring Game. He was a 247 4 star, and in the Georgia Top 20 per 247 rankings.
Toby Johnson- 22 year old JUCO transfer who battled torn ACL. He is practicing with team, and latest on him is instagram of him dunking basketballs... at 6-4 312#. Grantham says he'll be an End.
Ray Drew- Junior, 6-5 275# built like Clowney physically, listed at End, played in 13 games last year as backup, had 23 tackles. Scout and Rivals 5 star, lots of potential with this guy. He might should have gone to play in a 4-3.
DeAndre Johnson- Freshman, 6-3 311#, 3 star, depth
I'll include some of our bigger OLB's since they are basically linemen in Grantham's 3-4.
Jordon Jenkins- Soph, 6-3 246, presumed starter to take over for Jarvis Jones, played in every game last year. 5 star recruit by everyone but 247.
TJ Stripling- Senior 6-6 237, appeard in 14 games last year. Rivals/Scout 4 star when recruited.
James Deloach- Soph, 6-3 265, played as backup in 13 games in 2012
Chase Vasser- Senior 6-3 219# Scout 4 star when recruited. Started 2 games last year, played back up in a few others, then had shoulder surgery in Nov and was out.
Leonard Floyd- true freshman early enrollee, consensus 4 star prospect. 6-4 220#. Grantham has said he is actively competing for starting spot and doing well. He had hand surgery last week but is still practicing in a club and will be ready to go for Clemson if needed.
Middle Linebackers
Amarlo Herrera- played in all games last year, was a starter. Junior, 6-2 244#. According the Grantham, he and senior DE Garrison Smith have become the team leaders for defense, pushing guys to practice harder, etc.
Ramik Wilson- 6-2 232# junior, played in 10 games last year. He and Herrera (above) combined for half of all fumbles recovered for UGA's defense last year. He forced a fumble vs Bama in the SECCG last year.
Ryne Rankin- true freshman, 6-1 222#, 247 4-star recruit, Florida Top 50.
Reggie Carter- True freshman early enrollee, 6-1 229, Scout/Rivals 4 star, ranked as #15 linebacker in the country and No. 22 overall prospect in the state of Georgia by Rivals.com
There are 3 or 4 other guys listed at the positions deep deep deep in the depth chart, lets hope we never have to see them.

Backfield - Jones had the virus issue(seems like mono). He is recovering and gaining weight back.
Kelvin Taylor - We saw the impact of five star freshman last year with Gurley, Marshall, and Yeldon. I have zero doubt he can have the same level of production.
Mack Brown - Like the coach, never gotten it together but not terrible either.
FB - Joyer is god.
WR - Quintin Dunbar - He is a solid all around player. Not really what you want as a number 1 guy though but should be a lot more productive this year. Blocks well downfield too.
WR 2- Demarcus Robinson - ONe handed catches, insane diving catches, speed and hands. He is going to be a stud. Freshman has locked down the 2nd WR position. He's actually gone beast on ALL SEC corners all through practice. If he can do that on Roberson, watch out SEC.
Slot WR - Trey Burton - Not really fast, but a smart player who's very versatile. I like him being on the field as much as possible.
Back up WR - Latroy Pittman - Struggled some in camp and lost the number 2 to Robinson. Still, coaches really like him and I'll take faith in the coaching staff.
I think we see improvement in the passing game for sure with more weapons than we've had since 09. As long as Driskel progresses routes better and line keeps him upright, we should be better than last year for sure. Probably finish around 80-90 still in pass offense, but we don't need huge passing yards to win.

I was thinking the same thing about Mike Davis.
eta: nevermind, was thinking about the Mike Davis from a few years ago. Random and coincidental that yall have had two Mike Davis's at RB in the past 5 years.

I'd assume so, don't see why we wouldn't it did work pretty well last year. But he's been working almost exclusively at WR I think. Least the 2 practices I've seen.

We have possibly the best backfield AND the best WR corps in the conference, not to mention one of, if not the best QB handing/throwing the ball to them.
