3 True Freshman Crack the UGA 2 Deep for 2009

UGA is a much more mature and experienced team than GT, just from looking at the depth charts. The following 3 freshman are in the 2 deep for UGA according to Rivals.com.

1. Orson Charles, TE at 6'3" 232lbs - Look if this young man stays healthy I expect him to be starting by the end of the season. He follows in a line of NFL caliber TEs at UGA. As a senior in high school recorded 75 catches for 1440 yards and 21 touchdowns…had 7 carries for 59 yards and one touchdown. I like how Richt gave him or allowed him to wear #7 because that is not a standard TE #.
2. Brandon Smith, CB at 5'11" 169lbs - Don't worry about this young man's light weight. He is one of the quickest players in the SEC and country. In front of him is senior Prince Miller. If I were Miller I'd be very concerned about my starting spot. Smith was a Parade All-American his senior year of high school. He wears #1, which again shows me that Richt really thinks alot of this young man. Definitely a player to get excited about also because of his punt return abilities.
3. Jordon Love, CB at 6'0" 185 lbs - Rated the #1 cornerback from the state of Virginia this is a hard nosed player that is benefitting from UGA's lack of depth at CB. He has good height and weight, for his position, as a true frosh.

Well there you have it. I think Charles and Smith could find their way onto most 2 deeps in NCAA football. UGA is mature this season with lots of experience and it could not have come at a better time with the loss of 3 offensive players to the first 2 rounds of last year's NFL draft.
