Georgia releases depth chart for Kentucky with another change

ATHENS, Ga. — It’s Saturday in the Classic City where No. 1 Georgia is hosting No. 20 Kentucky. It’s the Bulldogs first ranked matchup of the 2023 season and they are favored by 14.5 points after opening as the 17-point favorite. The Wildcats last beat Georgia in 2009 and, oddly enough, that was the Bulldogs last loss in a home night game. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN and we’ve just gotten our hands on the pregame flip card. It shows the depth chart for the game and we provide that for you below in full.

Quarterback

1. Carson Beck
2. Brock Vandagriff OR Gunner Stockton

Running Back

1. Kendall Milton OR Daijun Edwards
2. Cash Jones
3. Andrew Paul or Roderick Robinson
4. Sevaughn Clark
5. Len’Neath Whitehead

*** Milton did not dress out for the UAB game a couple of weeks ago after spraining his MCL against South Carolina. He traveled for the Auburn and played a handful of snaps with no carries. He’s expected to play today. Robinson, however, will not play.

Wide Receiver (X)

1. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint OR Rara Thomas OR Jackson Meeks
2. De’Nylon Morrissette
3. Tyler Williams

Wide Receiver (Slot)

1. Dominic Lovett
2. Dillon Bell
3. Mekhi Mews
4. Anthony Evans III or Cole Speer

Wide Receiver (Z)

1. Ladd McConkey OR Arian Smith
2. C.J. Smith or Zeed Haynes

*** McConkey made his 2023 debut against Auburn and caught four passes for 38 yards. Three of those catches converted a third down with all being six yards or more.

Tight End

1. Brock Bowers
2. Oscar Delp
3. Lawson Luckie
4. Pearce Spurlin

*** Kirby Smart says that Luckie is healthy and available to play after suffering a high-ankle sprain during preseason camp. The Georgia freshman did, however, miss significant time and is still playing catchup. Spurlin has also been dealing with an injury and he’s healthy enough to play.

Left Tackle

1. Earnest Greene
2. Austin Blaske
3. Monroe Freeling

Left Guard

1. Dylan Fairchild or Micah Morris
2. Josh Miller

*** This is the one change on the depth chart this week. With Amarius Mims out with a high-ankle sprain, Xavier Truss has moved over to play right tackle. Fairchild was listed alone atop the depth chart last week at Auburn but he’s sharing that spot with Morris now. Morris entered the game last week and a large portion of the game.

Center

1. Sedrick Van Pran
2. Jared Wilson
3. Austin Blaske
4. Drew Bobo

Right Guard

1. Tate Ratledge
2. Dylan Fairchild or Aliou Bah

Right Tackle

1. Xavier Truss
2. Chad Lindberg
3. Bo Hughley or Jamal Meriweather or Kelton Smith

*** Georgia is without Amarius Mims for the third straight game. He went down with a high-ankle sprain against South Carolina and had tight-rope surgery to speed up the recovery. He’s out for a few more weeks.

Defensive End

1. Mykel Williams OR Tramel Walthour OR Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

*** Ingram-Dawkins is out for this game with a foot injury that has lingered since preseason camp. Williams missed the UAB game but he was back in action against Auburn. Georgia will probably use Gabe Harris as its third defensive end.
