Projecting UGA football’s wide receiver room ahead of spring practice

The Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver room is faced with the task of replacing Ladd McConkey and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. Including Brock Bowers, Georgia lost three of its four leading receivers from the 2023 college football season.

Georgia’s wide receiver group is still expected to be among the best in the country. The Bulldogs return a deep core of wide receivers and added a trio of talented transfers in Vanderbilt’s London Humphreys, USC’s Michael Jackson III, and Miami’s Colbie Young.

We foresee Georgia’s offense continuing to spread the ball around with star quarterback Carson Beck. Last season, 10 Georgia players recorded over 10 receptions and we’d expect a similar number of players to do so in 2024.

How do we project the Georgia wide receiver depth chart to rank ahead of spring practice? The Bulldogs begin spring practice on March 12.

Lovett transferred to Georgia from Missouri in 2023. He did not put up monster numbers, but he is Georgia’s top returning receiver is poised to build off last season. Lovett is a strong route runner that should be one of the best separators in Georgia’s wide receiver room.

Dillon Bell is the most versatile player in Georgia’s wide receiver room. Bell frequently lined up in the backfield in 2023 and could do the same in 2024. Bell recorded 25 carries for 157 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. He’s Georgia’s best receiver after the catch.

Rara Thomas is a big play threat. The Mississippi State transfer took some time to adjust to the Georgia offense last fall, but is expected to start for the Dawgs in 2024….
