Five Key Takeaways from UGA Football Spring Practice

3. Early Enrollees Had a Successful Spring.

Compared to last year’s lone early enrollee QB Jacob Park, UGA football had several players join the team this spring.

UAB transfer Jake Ganus
and Junior College transfer Chuks Amaechi help offset the losses of Amarlo Herrera and Ramik Wilson at ILB.  Look for them to contribute right away and bolster UGA’s already impressive LB corps. Four Star Recruit Jonathan Ledbetter has already begun his tutelage under former Auburn legend and DL coach Tracy Rocker.  Ledbetter’s older brother, Joseph and true freshman Jackson Harris are pushing for playing time in John Lilly’s deep TE corps.  A pair of Mississippian defensive backs, Johnathan Abram and Jarvis Wilson, are making strides in DC Jeremy Pruitt’s beloved secondary.  By enrolling early, these players will have a leg up on many of their fellow recruiting class members in contributing right away for the Red and Black.
