Fifth-year senior Greyson Lambert will start for the Bulldogs in the season-opener Saturday against North Carolina in the Georgia Dome in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, a team spokesman said Thursday.

Eason, the five-star early enrollee, is considered the most talented player with the highest ceiling, but he is only eight months removed from high school in Washington state.
