ATHENS — With Jalen Carter off to the NFL, Georgia is in need of a new game-wrecking defensive lineman. The defensive line figures to once again be a strength for Georgia, though at the moment it’s due to depth than obvious outstanding performers.

“Throughout the years that Coach Smart has been here, he’s built that culture of next guy up no matter if a guy leaves or if a guy gets injured, if you’re out there on that field, you’re a starter,” Zion Logue said. “So we’ve just got to find that next piece.”

Georgia won’t have Carter in the middle of the defense to bust up opposing offensive lines. But it may have someone just as capable coming off the edge in sophomore Mykel Williams.
