UGA 2024 wide receiver position preview
By James Morgan,
2 days ago
Third-team All-SEC wide receiver Dominic Lovett leads the Georgia Bulldogs’ talented wide receivers room in 2024.
Lovett is Georgia’s only (top-five) leading receiver that is returning. Three of the five other leading receivers from 2023 were selected in the 2024 NFL draft. Additionally, Georgia’s fifth-leading receiver in 2023, Rara Thomas, was recently dismissed from the team after being arrested.
Versatile wide receiver Dillon Bell is Georgia’s No. 2 receiver and made the All-SEC team as an all-purpose player. Bell is Georgia’s best receiver after the catch and has previously played running back.
The No. 3 wide receiver on our depth chart is Miami transfer Colbie Young. Young is Georgia’s best red zone threat at wide receiver and is relatively interchangeable on the depth chart with Arian Smith. The two players just have very different roles depending on the situation. Smith is Georgia’s fastest receiver. Smith provides a deep threat and made several explosive plays in spring practice.
After Smith is explosive sophomore Anthony Evans, who is primed to have a larger role this season. Vanderbilt transfer London Humphreys and USC transfer Michael Jackson III both figure to see their respective roles increase as the year goes on. Jackson III is especially adept in the screen game and after the catch.
Cole Speer recently made a big play in Georgia’s scrimmage. He should not be counted out and is a big special teams player for UGA.

It is unclear who Georgia’s five best playmakers will be on offense. Running back Trevor Etienne, tight end Oscar Delp, wide receivers Dominic Lovett and Dillon Bell are probably Georgia’s four best playmakers, but the fifth-best player is up for debate.
