Georgia offensive starter ruled out against Mizzou

Georgia will face Mizzou on Saturday. But one of its core offensive starters won’t be available.
Drew Bobo, one of the nation’s top centers, won’t play against the Tigers, the first time the fifth-year senior has missed a game this season. Bobo was out for three games in 2025 after suffering injuries to his hand and foot.
He had to leave the Week 10 game against Ole Miss due to injury, but it’s not known exactly what it was or how severe it was. After being listed as questionable on Wednesday’s SEC availability report, he was eventually downgraded to doubtful on Friday before ultimately being ruled out.
Junior Malachi Toliver, who was listed behind Bobo on the depth chart, is in line for his first start of the season. Toliver has played in six games in 2026 for Georgia. In 2025, he started in three games and played in six.
Despite Toliver getting the nod, Georgia will hope that the injury to Bobo isn’t that serious, and that the center can return as soon as possible for the Dawgs’ final two regular-season games — and, potentially, the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. After Mizzou, Georgia has South Carolina on the road and Georgia Tech at home.
