UGA is returning quite a few veteran players
Cannot overemphasize the importance of Carson Beck, Tate Ratledge, Nazir Stackhouse, and Smael Mondon coming back for Georgia.

UGA will need Ratledge's experience
Georgia gets its starter back at RG
Thought Ratledge was playing his best football at the end of the year. A lot of explosive zone runs came through his gaps up front. If he comes into 2024 playing the same way it will be a big help to UGA as it navigates some early season tests https://t.co/hj81kJ81Y6

The Dawgs’ schedule in 2024 features games at Alabama and at Texas.
Ratledge has a lot of experience playing on the road in loud stadiums.
