Georgia is set to host Mississippi State for its annual homecoming game, Saturday at 7:30 pm ET at Sanford Stadium. There was some talk about it potentially being called off due to a lack of available scholarship players for MSU, but the game is indeed on.
The Georgia captains for the evening will be Azeez Ojulari, Jamaree Salyer and Kearis Jackson, it was announced on Friday afternoon.
Ojulari has picked up where he left off after a solid redshirt freshman campaign. Thus far in 2020, the linebacker from the Atlanta area has registered 6.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks, along with 2 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
Salyer has settled in at left tackle this season, filling the void left behind by the talented Andrew Thomas. He received a pair of starts at right tackle last year but has made his home on the left side of the front 5 in 2020.
Jackson has enjoyed his best year in a Georgia uniform as he leads the team in receiving with 396 yards and 27 catches. The redshirt sophomore from Fort Valley, Ga., has also found the end zone twice.
