UGA football player card: LB Miles Miccichi

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Miles Miccichi walked on to the football team in 2018 and recorded a 4.0 GPA in 2019.

Miles Miccichi, Linebacker (No. 55):

Class: Redshirt sophomore

Height: 6-1

Weight: 227 pounds

Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia

High School: Lakeside High School

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Miles Miccichi walked on to the football team in 2018. He redshirted as a freshman that season and has primarily played for the scout team during the past two seasons.

Impressively, Miccichi was one of only 26 student-athletes at the University of Georgia to earn a 4.0 GPA in 2019.

Miccichi’s lack of playing time can be attributed to the depth Dan Lanning and Georgia have built on their elite defense. He’ll battle for playing time with Monty Rice, Nakobe Dean, Rian Davis, Trezmen Marshall, Quay Walker and more at the inside linebacker position.

UGA football player card: LB Channing Tindall

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit from Columbia, SC.

Channing Tindall, Linebacker (No. 41):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-2

Weight: 218 pounds

Hometown: Columbia, South Carolina

High School: Spring Valley High School

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Channing Tindall came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit. Tindall played in eleven games last season as an inside linebacker and special teams player. Tindall recorded 1.5 sacks and 9 tackles during his sophomore season.

He saw more playing time as a freshman, where he played in all 14 games and ended up with 17 tackles and two sacks. Tindall’s decrease in playing time can be attributed to the depth Dan Lanning and Georgia have built on their elite defense.

Tindall was a cog in the top run-stopping defense in the country in 2019. He’ll battle for playing time with Monty Rice, Nakobe Dean, Rian Davis, Trezmen Marshall, Quay Walker and more at the inside linebacker position.

UGA football player card: LB Robert Beal

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Robert Beal removed his name from the NCAA transfer portal earlier this offseason

Robert Beal, Linebacker (No. 33):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-4

Weight: 244 pounds

Hometown: Norcross, Georgia

High School: Peachtree Ridge High School

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Robert Beal removed his name from the NCAA transfer portal earlier this offseason. Beal came to Georgia as a talented four-star recruit. He has the potential to provide pressure off the edge.

Beal played in only four games last season. Beal played much more as a freshman in 2019, when he played in 11 of 14 games and recording a sack.

Beal will compete with Adam Anderson, Nolan Smith, Jermaine Johnson, Rian Davis, Trezmen Marshall, and more for playing time at outside linebacker. Perhaps the easiest area for Georgia’s elite defense to improve is in pass rush. UGA finished 60th in the country with 31.0 sacks last season.
