Isaiah McKenzie was nicknamed “The Human Joystick” prior to arriving at Georgia.

Let’s just say, the 5-foot-8, 164-pound athlete lived up to expectations. He didn’t have much of an impact in the offense, but his contributions were mainly felt in special teams.

McKenzie brought excitement back to the return game for Georgia. The ‘Dawgs hadn’t had a kickoff or punt return since 2010 and the Brandon Boykin days.

The true freshman changed that with two electric punt return touchdowns and one kickoff return on the season, tying him for the most return touchdowns in the SEC.

Quite frankly, that’s the main reason Isaiah is here, “head coach Mark Richt said of his electrifying return man. “We felt he could give us a boost in that area.”

McKenzie may never be the main guy on offense, especially with other weapons like Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and others around. But he’s clearly carved out a niche for him on special teams and he’s going to be a game-changer for the ‘Dawgs in that area.

Marshall Morgan and Collin Barber are adequate at best

It’s not the days of Blair Walsh and Drew Butler, but Morgan and Barber were adequate weapons in the special teams area this season.

Morgan finished with a 72.2 field goal percentage, hitting 13 out of his 18 attempts. However, Morgan failed to come up in some of the Bulldogs’ biggest moments this season. He missed two field goals against South Carolina in UGA’s three-point loss, including a chip shot late in the game that would have tied up the score.

Morgan also failed to convert all of his attempts in Georgia’s season-finale loss to Georgia Tech, a game that eventually went into overtime.

Barber split punting duties with Adam Erickson, but the junior still received the majority of the kicks with 32 punts on the season. Unfortunately for Barber, he wasn’t all that impressive with just 39.2 yards per punt. He wasn’t much of a factor in special teams for UGA.

Ray Drew becomes a force

Surprisingly, defensive end Ray Drew’s biggest impact came on special teams for the ‘Dawgs.

In 2014, he was the SEC’s most potent force along the special teams line of scrimmage with an SEC-leading three blocks.

Perhaps his finest moment came against Georgia Tech when he blocked two separate kicks in hopes of becoming a hero in his final home game. Drew blocked the Jackets’ extra-point in overtime, but in the end it didn’t matter as Georgia failed to capitalize on its ensuing possession.

Drew’s three blocks rank him first nationally for 2014.
