We are less than 10 days from the start of Georgia’s 2022 football season. Among the new faces on the team, several returning players will be wearing new numbers for the Bulldogs.

Among the players wearing different jersey numbers were Arik Gilbert, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint and Jackson Meeks. Gilbert went from No, 14 to No. 7, Rosemy-Jacksaint is now wearing No. 1 after wearing No. 81 for the last two seasons. Meeks is wearing No. 9 after he wore No. 17 last season.

Changing numbers is nothing new for Georgia and the Bulldogs will sometimes even do it in-game in order to help get players on special teams. Smael Mondon would wear No. 20 so he and Kendall Milton could play special teams last season, while Dominick Blaylock briefly donned the No. 83 so he could return punts last season.

The Bulldogs will begin focusing on Oregon prep in the coming days, shifting away from the camp atmosphere. The game against Oregon is one of the more marquee games to open the 2022 season, as Georgia is the No. 3 team and Oregon is ranked No. 11 in the initial AP Poll.
