Georgia Bulldog receiver named 2020 SEC breakout player

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Demetris Robertson will be a breakout player in the SEC during the 2020 season.

A respected college football analyst, Dr. SEC, believes that Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Demetris Robertson will be a breakout player in the SEC during the 2020 season. Robertson breaking out would be huge for Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs.

Georgia’s number one wide receiver entering into the 2020 season is clearly George Pickens. If Pickens can find a partner in crime, like Robertson, then Georgia should have a deadly aerial attack.

Robertson may be projected to breakout, but he still has to earn some respect before folks know his name:

Robertson caught three touchdowns and hauled in 30 passes for 333 yards last season. Those numbers are far from the best of his career. Before coming to Athens, Robertson starred for the California Bears. As a former five-star recruit, Robertson has the talent.

Robertson suffered a severe leg injury during his sophomore season at Cal. He should be 100% again and will look to have a huge senior season. He’s also a threat in the run game. He’s the favorite to win the number two wide receiver spot next season.
