Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Jordan Davis is the anchor of Dan Lanning and Kirby Smart’s defensive front. Davis came to Athens as a relatively unheralded three or four-star recruit (depending on the recruiting service). Before coming to UGA, Davis played for North Carolina powerhouse football program Mallard Creek, where he faced some of the top competition in the state.
The run-stopping defensive lineman contributed 2.5 sacks last season. Davis appeared in every game and started eight contests. Davis has recorded 43 total tackles over the first two seasons of his career. He was named a freshman All-American following the 2018 season.
Last season, Georgia had the top run defense in the NCAA and didn’t allow a single rushing touchdown to a running back. Davis was a big part of the reason why the Bulldogs achieved this impressive accomplishment.
Now, Davis will look to combine with Malik Herring, Devonte Wyatt, Nolan Smith, Travon Walker, Jermaine Johnson, Azeez Ojulari, and more to form one of the top defensive fronts in the country.
