Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Jordan Davis is returning to the University of Georgia for another season. Davis was projected as a high 2021 NFL Draft pick, but is returning to do some unfinished business.
Davis is literally the biggest player who is returning to Athens for another season. He’ll technically be a junior for the 2021 season. He’s coming off his best game of the 2020 season. Davis recorded a sack, blocked a kick, and had three tackles against Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl. Davis had a tough 2020 season, where he suffered an elbow injury and missed extended time.
Davis is the anchor of Dan Lanning and Kirby Smart’s defensive front. He came to Athens as a relatively unheralded three or four-star recruit (depending on the recruiting service). Before coming to UGA, Davis played for a high school powerhouse football program at Mallard Creek in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The run-stopping defensive lineman contributed 2.5 sacks in 2019. Davis appeared in every game throughout 2019 and started eight contests. He was named a freshman All-American following the 2018 season.
Now, Davis will look to combine with Devonte Wyatt, Nolan Smith, Travon Walker, Adam Anderson, Jalen Carter and more to form one of the top defensive fronts in the country in 2021.
