Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Makiya Tongue redshirted last season. He played against Arkansas State, Georgia Tech, and Murray State, so he has some experience thanks to the new redshirt rule.
Tongue played both receiver and defense (safety/outside linebacker) in high school for University Lab. He made this spectacular catch back in the day:

Tongue’s dad, Reggie, played in the NFL for several seasons, playing primarily for the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks. Before the NFL, Reggie Tongue played for the Oregon State Beavers.
Next season, Makiya Tongue will fight for playing time at wide receiver. Georgia and Kirby Smart have brought in lots of talent at receiver and return a solid amount of existing talent including: George Pickens, 2020’s presumed top receiver on the roster.
Tongue came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit.
