With ten days before Georgia football and three days before the start of college football, let’s look at number ten for the Bulldogs: Malik Herring. Herring will be a junior this season and will play a big role on what should be an improved defensive front.
Herring was a four-star prospect coming out of high school, where he attended Merry Persons High School in Georgia. The Georgia native will look to pressure the passer from the defensive interior alongside David Marshall, who is recovering from foot surgery, Tyler Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Julian Rochester, and Jordan Davis. One of these players needs to step up and help replace the sack production of D’Andre Walker.
Georgia’s defensive front is anticipated to be the weakness of the defense. With an elite safety duo, talented corners and loads of depth at linebacker, the Dawgs are looking strong on the defensive side of the ball. Can Georgia’s defensive interior match the impressive physicality Sam Pittman and Kirby Smart have developed on the offensive front? Only time will tell. And it won’t be too much more time for Bulldog fans to wait.
