Georgia Bulldogs true freshman running back Andrew Paul is expected to take a redshirt during the 2022 season after suffering a torn ACL. Paul suffered the unfortunate injury during Georgia’s second fall scrimmage.
Now, Georgia will rely more heavily on freshman running back Branson Robinson. The Bulldogs are hoping that junior running back Kendall Milton can heal up ahead of the season opener against the Oregon Ducks on Sept. 3. Milton has missed practice time with a hamstring injury that is not too serious.
Georgia has lost some depth at offensive skill positions this offseason and is a little banged up at wide receiver and running back. Fortunately, Georgia has excellent depth in the backfield with Kenny McIntosh and Daijun Edwards as other reliable options at the position.
Andrew Paul is a former three-star running back recruit. He played high school football for Parish Episcopal in Dallas, Texas.
The Parish Episcopal standout had 2,612 rushing yards and 44 total touchdowns in his senior high school season.
Andrew Paul was a late signing in Georgia’s class of 2022. Interestingly, Georgia will face Oregon freshman running back Jordan James, who flipped his commitment from Georgia to Oregon, in the season opener. James was a four-star recruit.
