Malakius’s brother, Tavis, has played football for UNLV. Tavis also a defensive lineman. He helped UNLV go 4-8 last season.

Here’s how Tyler committed to UGA football:

Tyler Malakius will fight for playing time with defensive linemen like Zion Logue, Tramel Walthour, Tymon Mitchell, and more. Malakius is projected to be a back up, since Georgia is returning a lot of experience and talent along the defensive front.

Last season Georgia had the top run defense in the NCAA and didn’t allow a single rushing touchdown to a running back.
