Georgia running backs Zamir White and James Cook have been named to the Doak Walker watch list, which is an award given every season to the nation’s top running back. The SEC has nine total running backs who made the list, but UGA is the only program to have two players listed.
Last season, the duo sat behind D’Andre Swift and Brian Herrien, who both accounted for most of the team’s carries. Swift ended up rushing for over 1,200 yards and Herrien almost topped 500 yards. With both Swift and Herrien gone, it’s now expected that White will take over as the No.
