Georgia Football: 3 breakout candidates for Bulldogs in 2020
By John Vogel
Do you want to talk about an explosive running back? Kirby Smart was excited when he landed the five-star recruit and early enrollee in 2018. Unfortunately, for both Georgia and Zamir White, he missed his redshirt season to a knee injury during a preseason practice.
White took to the field last season, behind 2020 second-round pick D’Andre Swift and Brian Herrien, and posted some production.
In fact, he ran for 408 yards last season, averaging 5.2 yards per attempt and scored three touchdowns. White’s real breakout in 2019 was in the Sugar Bowl victory over Baylor, where he carried the ball 18 times for 92 yards and got to showcase his talent.
White’s running style is explosive and he has a natural knack to squeeze his way through holes. He’s insanely quick.
At 6-foot-0 and 215 pounds, he’s around the build of Herrien but just as explosive as Swift. White’s potential is through the roof at Georgia, a school that just consistently puts out incredible running back talent into NFL ranks. White looks like he will be the next Georgia running back to be a high draft pick.
