ATHENS - As everyone knows, Kirby Smart’s UGA football has a superstar on their hands in junior tight end, Brock Bowers.
And ESPN agrees.
With the 2023 college football season right around the corner, ESPN came out with their “Top 100 Players For 2023”, and the playmaking Bulldog tight end comes in at No. 2, right behind USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams.
Bowers, an elite player, competitor and overall pass-catcher, is a future College Football Hall-of-Famer who could make an impact in the NFL this upcoming season if he were eligible to play there.
Instead, the two-time national champion will be back for his third season in Athens, hoping to lead the Bulldogs to more college football history.
Here is what ESPN said about Bowers:
“Bowers has been a fixture at tight end since the day he arrived on Georgia's campus. He catches everything thrown his way, blocks with the same efficiency and runs like a running back both after the catch and when he's taking a handoff. He has scored 24 touchdowns in his first two seasons (20 receiving and four rushing).”
Bowers currently has +6000 odds to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy according to FanDuel.

Of course, Bowers isn’t the only Bulldog on the list. Who else made the cut?
UGA Football DL Mykell Williams comes in at No. 10
“Williams was one of the top freshman defenders in college football last season. He tied Jalen Carter with a team-leading 31 quarterback hurries and played especially well in the College Football Playoff for the two-time defending national champion Bulldogs. His six sacks tied for the national lead among true freshmen.”
UGA Football LB Jamon Dumas-Johnson is ranked at No. 24
“When you're a Butkus Award finalist during your first full season as a starter, you're something special. Such was the case with Dumas-Johnson's sophomore year, in which he tallied 70 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 26 quarterback hurries.”
UGA Football DB Malaki Starks is slated in the No. 40 spot
“Starks is one half of a talented safety combo at Georgia along with Javon Bullard. Last season as a freshman, Starks led all Georgia defenders with 847 snaps played and finished third on the team with 68 total tackles while starting in all 15 games. His speed and versatility make him a perfect fit in Kirby Smart's system.”
UGA Football LB Smael Mondon comes in at No. 41
“The tandem of Mondon and Jamon Dumas-Johnson gives the Bulldogs arguably the best inside linebacker corps in the country. Despite missing two games, Mondon led the team with 76 total stops last season, not to mention his 23 quarterback hurries.”
UGA Football OL Sedrick Van Pran is ranked No. 42
“By all accounts, the 6-4, 310-pound senior should be in the NFL right now. He allowed only one sack the past two seasons, so he has already proven himself. But he put the draft on hold to come back for another season, which is good news for the Bulldogs and their quest for a three-peat.”
