College football’s top graded offensive guards from 2023

Football Christian Mahogany Tate Ratledge Georgia

The Georgia Bulldogs are the only college football team to finish the 2023 season with two of the highest-graded offensive guards in the country. The good news for Bulldog fans is that both of Georgia’s two highly-graded offensive guards are returning for the 2024 season.

Georgia’s offensive line should be among the best in the country again in 2024 as the Bulldogs are returning quite a few pieces on their offensive front. Offensive linemen Tate Ratledge and Xavier Truss both announced they would return to school for an extra year instead of entering into the 2024 NFL draft.
