Predicting Georgia football’s breakout players for 2025

The Georgia Bulldogs have a lot of star players that the college football world knows, but by the end of the season here are four players that we project to have breakout seasons.

Drew Bobo

Georgia redshirt junior center Drew Bobo, who is the son of Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, returns and has 20 career appearances for the Bulldogs including two starts last season. He is projected to start at center.

Bobo will be such an important part of the offense because the center position for Georgia has been the core piece of the offensive line. Georgia has had some great centers over the years from the David Andrews to Sedrick Van Pran, to Jared Wilson. Bobo has chance to join that list.

Bobo completed a nine-yard pass on a fake punt in the fourth quarter of Bulldogs SEC championship victory over Texas. We expect him to anchor an improved UGA offensive line this year.

In 2024, Georgia allowed 25 sacks (No. 57-tied in the nation), which was a considerable drop off after allowing just 13 sacks (No. 8-tied in the nation) in 2023. Last season, the offensive line had several injuries and many rotations between the linemen. This season, health and cohesiveness will be very important to this season’s success.

Xzavier McLeod

Defensive lineman Xzavier McLeod was a South Carolina transfer last year and he started off the season slow. As time went on, you saw his talent emerge on the field. Him and Warren Brinson were constantly in the backfield making Quinn Ewers uncomfortable in the SEC championship.
