Nolan Smith came to Athens as one of the highest-rated recruits in the country and so far during his time so far, he has been a slight disappointment for the Bulldogs. He has only totaled five sacks so far, but I think that he could be in line for a nice bump in production in 2021.

With Azeez Ojulari off to the NFL, Smith should have a starting spot in the lineup locked up and I think that is going to give him chance to be one of the top pass rushers in the SEC.

Smith has great burst around the edge and is already a solid run defender as well. If Smith can just give himself more opportunities on third downs and in critical situations, he could have a chance to really increase his production and become a star in 2021.

Expect a big season out of Nolan Smith for Georgia this season.
