SEC Football: Most impactful newcomers for each team

Georgia Bulldogs
What do you get from the team that has everything? A third consecutive National Title. After going back to back, the ‘Dawgs are looking to win a third straight title, something that hasn’t been done in the modern era. The eyes of college football are on Athens as Carson Beck, Brock Vandargriff, and Gunner Stockton battle for QB1.
No matter who wins, the starting quarterback has impressive weapons this season. Kirby Smart and his staff went out and signed two of the best wide receivers in the conference. Rara Thomas (Mississippi State) and Dominic Lovett (Missouri) help make up for the loss of Adonai Mitchell in the portal.
Last season’s defense was young, losing five players (Nolan Smith did miss most of the season, however). It will be difficult for a young defender to crack the rotation, but Smart and his staff love competition. Keep an eye on Jordan Hall to compete for snaps this fall. Hall is a freak athlete who can occupy blockers and is stout against the run.
Texas A&M transfer Smoke Bouie is another player who could see time this fall. The redshirt sophomore is another new face that could crack Georiga’s rotation.
