Georgia’s defense is getting a boost with the returns of cornerbacks Mark Webb, Eric Stokes, safety Richard LeCounte, linebacker Monty Rice, and defensive lineman Malik Herring.

On the other side of the football, offensive linemen Justin Shaffer and Ben Cleveland will be back. UGA’s offensive line has been purged by the NFL and a transfer.

Injury Report: Devonte Wyatt out for Georgia vs. Georgia Tech

Junior defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt will not suit up for the Bulldogs in this year’s edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. 

As per Seth Emerson of The Athletic, junior defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt will not suit up for the Bulldogs in this year’s edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.

Wyatt, who hasn’t yet missed a game in 2019, has recorded 22 tackles and has been credited with 19 quarterback pressures on the year. In addition, he recovered a fumble in the first game of the season at Vanderbilt.

Though Georgia Tech hasn’t had much success rushing the ball under Geoff Collins, Wyatt’s ability to plug gaps and pressure signal callers is a large void that will need to be filled with heavy rotational play.
