It's time to look ahead to 2025.

Georgia's 2024 season ended with a 23-10 loss to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl on January 2. The Bulldogs now turn their focus to the offseason in preparation for the 2025 campaign.

UGASports has an early look at some freshmen to watch on the defensive side of the ball.

Griffin is exactly the type of game-wrecking presence Georgia has needed along the defensive line. At 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, the Pooler native profiles nicely as a 3-technique who could also play nose in Georgia's defense. Griffin shined all year for Savannah Christian and dominated competition at the Under Armour All-American Game. With several big bodies leaving Athens, there should be ample opportunity for Griffin to play early in his career.

Gibson is an elite athletic specimen on the edge. Georgia lists the Warner Robins native at 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds, and he will only get bigger and stronger through his first few months in Georgia's strength and conditioning program. The Bulldogs have used multiple first-year players in situational packages in recent years, and Gibson very well could be next on that list.

Walker already has impressive linebacker size, listed by Georgia at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds. But Walker also has the athleticism to play in space and move from sideline to sideline. Similar with players along the defensive front, freshmen linebackers such as Chris Cole have been able to carve out situational roles for themselves. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Walker on the field in some capacity in 2025.
