Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Rian Davis redshirted during his freshman year in 2019. He appeared in the home defeat against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Davis came to Athens as a four-star recruit, who was a top-100 prospect. He tore his ACL as a senior in high school (four games in). Davis, an Orlando-area recruit, enrolled early at the University of Georgia and was healthy enough to participate in spring practice.
