Lorenzo Carter was a highly coveted recruit and ultimately decided to stay home and play for Georgia. His 6'5 frame and agility allowed him to be an immediate impact player. Carter started 26 games and appeared in 54 throughout his four year UGA tenure.

Iconic play: Blocked kick in 2OT of the Rose Bowl

Georgia had put together a stellar second half to complete a comeback versus Oklahoma. In the second overtime, Lorenzo Carter used every bit of his 6'5 stature to block the Sooners' field goal attempt and give Georgia's offense much more room for error on the ensuing possession. As we all know, Sony Michel then ran for a touchdown and Georgia won its first ever College Football Playoff game.
