In addition to the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation for the 2020 cycle, the Georgia Bulldogs have a plethora of talented players returning for the upcoming season.
One of those returners, and a leader for the Dawgs’ defense next year, is defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
SEC Network Analyst Cole Cubelic has gone as far as to call Davis the SEC’s second-best interior defensive lineman for the upcoming season.
Davis played 11 games as a freshman in 2018, making 25 total tackles and six solo. Davis also had 1.5 sacks, earning the Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-American Team and Coaches Freshman All-SEC Team honors.
In 2019, Davis then played 14 games, making 18 tackles, seven solo tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks.
Davis could be even more effective on the defensive line if he cuts weight, which would certainly impress NFL scouts. Becoming more than a great run-stopper is what’s going to be the difference when teams consider Davis in next year’s draft.
The Charlotte native, who stands at 6-foot-6, 330 pounds, will be a junior this year and will be looked up to as a leader by many on the defensive side of the ball.
