Georgia will once again be well-represented at the NFL Combine, which begins on February 27 and extends through March 3. The official list combine invites was released on Thursday and it includes 14 Bulldogs. Of those 14 players, eight are either labeled as an offensive or defensive lineman and it includes seven players on offense and seven on defense.

Starting with the defense, where Georgia is projected to have three first-round selections, Mykel Williams is listed with the defensive linemen. He’s joined by Warren Brinson, Nazir Stackhouse, and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, all of whom contributed to Georgia in three or more seasons.

Williams is a consensus first-round pick according mock drafts. Many have him getting selected in the top 10. Ingram-Dawkins, Brinson, and Stackhouse are all likely to be selected but not on day one.

That quartet is joined by the linebacker duo of Smael Mondon and Jalon Walker. Mondon is coming off a career at Georgia that saw him start for three seasons. Walker is another likely first-round pick after he forewent his senior season to enter the draft. The North Carolina native is Georgia’s team leader in sacks over the past two seasons.

The last of those projected first-round picks, Malaki Starks, is also expected in Indianapolis for the combine. The Jefferson High School product started 42 of his 43 games in a Georgia uniform. The only game he didn’t start was his first at the college level.

On the offensive side of the ball, four linemen lead the way. Tate Ratledge, Dylan Fairchild, Xavier Truss, and Jared Wilson all got invites. Ratledge, Fairchild and Truss were all multi-year starters for the Bulldogs with Truss playing well over 3,000 snaps. Wilson started for just one season but is projected by many as the No. 1 center in the draft. Each of those linemen have two National Championships and two SEC Championships.

A pair of Georgia receivers, Arian Smith and Dominic Lovett, will get a chance to show what they can do. Smith was the Bulldogs leading receiver in 2024, becoming the first wideout to go for over 800 yards in a season during the Kirby Smart era. Lovett has been UGA’s second-leading receiver in each of the past two seasons and racked up over 2,000 receiving yards in his college career.

Former Florida running back Trevor Etienne, who played his final season at Georgia, is also on the list. Etienne was dinged up for a portion of his only season in Athens and finished as the team’s second-leading rusher.
