GEORGIA
Make it six.
Another talented Bulldog has announced he will forgo his senior season to declare for the NFL Draft. RB Elijah Holyfield becomes the sixth player of the day to leave UGA. He joins TE Isaac Nauta, WR Riley Ridley and WR Mecole Hardman as early entrants for the draft. QB Justin Fields and TE Luke Ford are transferring.
Holyfield had a breakout season in 2018, recording 159 carries for 1,018 yards (just 31 yards shy of sophomore RB D’Andre Swift for the team lead). He hit triple digits in rushing yards in UGA’s wins over Middle Tennessee State and Kentucky. The announcement was made on social media, where Holyfield share a note addressed to Dawg Nation, thanking the coaches, fans and university.
And he’s gotta whole lotta tread left on the tires which makes him an attractive RB draftee.
My God, it will never end.
2019 just went from looking like our best shot year to a “growth” year, whatever that means.
This inches us closer
Yeah right, this past season was as close as UK comes for a long while, you got just close to get a good wiff of some Dawg butt.
You had a senior laden team and lost to a team were 2/3 of the starters were sophomores and freshmen.
UGA will be fine, Oline will be better in 2019. But, I really did like watching Holyfield tote the rock, he made them pay.
Why Holyfield is leaving is beyond me…that family has plenty of money.
Dude you’re thick. When you grow up with money, it’s never about the money.
Sec Looks now to be
1- Vols
2- Gators
3- Dogs/Wildcats ( tied )
Ahahaha! Yep. UGA will tank after losing those 6 players(One who never played). Never mind the amazing recruits we have on the bench. Or the depth at running back. IT’s definitely going to be UT’s year…..
Yeah, I started drinking too and thought of this:
1. gamecocks
2. dawgs
3. gators
4. mizzou
Haha – this fun, huh ?
Maybe ….
2. dawgs/mizzou
3. K-cats
